Asha Bhosle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा, उषःकाल झाला
हलके हलके उघड राजीवा नील नेत्रकमला
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा
तुझ्यापरी बघ जीवन वारा, मिठी मारतो प्राजक्ताला
तुझ्यापरी बघ जीवन वारा, मिठी मारतो प्राजक्ताला
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा
पर्णपोपटी हिंदोळ्यावर कंठ फुटतो आनंदाला
तुज भूपाळी आळवित सुंदर, चढली गगनी विहंगमाला
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा
गोठ्यामधले मुके लेकरू पीत झुरूझुरु कामधेनूला
गोठ्यामधले मुके लेकरू पीत झुरूझुरु कामधेनूला
किती आवरु भरला पान्हा, हसवी अरुणा तव आईला
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा
उषःकाल झाला
हलके हलके उघड राजीवा नील नेत्रकमला
उठी गोविंदा, उठी गोपाळा
