On the shoulders of my beloved Krishna
I became a garland
When you lean against my shoulder
I see heaven right here on earth
When you and I come together
It is like cool winter in the heat of summer
Male: Where is the time to speak words?
Spread a bed with your hair
Wherever touched, a sweet melody plays
Male: Ding-da ding dong-a ding-da dong
The rush of the heart will never fade

Here and everywhere, ding dong
