Kaliya's Crest

Black waters boil under the dark hood

Kaliya rises where the pure river stood

But the young boy steps onto the waves With feet of lotus,

the world he saves

The gopis watch in fear and prayer

As the serpent swings him through the air (ahhh) Jai Kanhaiya lal

ki, madhav gopal ki!

(Jai Kanhaiya!) He dances on the venom,

crushing the pride With every step the holy

waters subside

One thousand heads bow down to the child

The toxic waves are tempered and mild

The flute resounds, the blue sky is clear

Gone is the venom,

gone is the fear

Jai Kanhaiya lal ki,

madhav gopal ki!

(Jai Kanhaiya!) He dances on the venom,

crushing the pride With every step the holy

waters subside

Jai Kanhaiya lal ki,

madhav gopal ki!

(Jai Kanhaiya!) He dances on the venom,

crushing the pride With every step the holy waters subside

(Jai

Kanhaiya... Jai Kanhaiya...)
