Lyrics –

Mangal gaavo mayi aaj mil
(Sing the songs of joy; sing hail, sing praise)

Aaj laal ko janam diwas hai
(It is Krishna’s birthday)

Ghar ghar bajat badhaai
(Each house is echoing with the melodies of joy, congratulating Krishna )

Aangan leepo chauk puraavo
(Purify the porch with cow dung, make art on it)

Vipra padhan laage ved
(Pandits have started reciting shlokas from Ved Puran)

Karo re shringaar shyam sundar ko
(Adorn Shyam Sundar)

Chova chandan de
(With sandalwood paste)

Phooli phirat nand ji ki laali
(Yashoda is dancing with joy and happiness)

Nand ke anand bhaye
(House of Nand is blessed with this birth)

Jai kanhaiya laal ki
(All hail Krishna!)

Phooli phirat nand ji ki laali
(Yashoda is dancing with joy and happiness)

Ghar angana na samaati
(She can’t contain her happiness, she is dancing all around her veranda)

Parmananad Das ko thakur
(Parmanand Das and his God)

Bo to nyochhavar paati
(They are showering flowers and blessings upon Krishna)

Ghar ghar badhai aaj mil
(Each house is echoing with the melodies of joy, congratulating Krishna )

Mangal gaao
(Sing happy songs, everyone)

Nand ke anand bhayo jai kanhaaiya laal ki
(Kanhaiya has taken birth at Nand’s house, all hail Kanha!)

Hathi deenhe ghoda deenhe aur dinhi paalki
(Nand is giving away gifts, he is giving away elephants, horses and palanquins)

Jwanen ko hathi ghoda, boodhen ko palki
(Nand is gifting young people with elephants and horses to young people and gifting palanquins to the elderly)

Nand ke anand bhayo jai kanhaaiya laal ki
(Kanhaiya has taken birth at Nand’s house, all hail Kanha)

Mangal gaavo Mayi aaj mil
(Sing happy songs, everyone)

Aaj laal ko janam diwas hai
(It is Krishna’s birthday)

Ghar ghar bajat badhaai
(Each house is echoing with the melodies of joy, congratulating Krishna )

Mangal gaavo Mayi aaj mil
(Sing happy songs, everyone)
