The song is a description of a evening in Gokul where Lord Krishna spent his childhood & youth. Krishna was known by many names including the dark one. The darkness mentioned in the song is a beautiful presence because it is compared to Krishna’s presence, and not something sinister.

| Marathi Lyrics | English Translation |
| Sanj ye gokuli sawali, sawali…
Sanj ye Gokuli sawali, sawali, savlya chi janu sawuli |
The dark dusk comes to Gokul (Lord Krishna’s village)…
The dark evening comes to Gokul as if a silhouette of the dark lord (Krishna)… |
| Dhool udavit gaayi nighaalya, | The cows are walking the path, spreading dust as they go, |
| Shyam rangat vaata budalya | The paths dissolved in the colour of the dusk… |
| Paratitichya savey pakharanche thavey |
The flocks of birds are returning to their nests, |
| Paila ghanta ghumey rawooli | The first bell for the evening prayers echoes in the temple. |
| Sanj ye gokuli sawali, sawali… | The dark dusk comes to Gokul (Lord Krishna’s village)… |
| Parvatanchi disey door raang | There is a long row of mountains |
| Kajalachi janu daath rega | as if a dark line of kohl |
| Hoyi dohataley chandane savaley… | The dark starry night is in the offing… |
| Bhovati savlya chahuli… | Surrounded by dark presence… |
| Sanj ye gokuli sawali, sawali… | The dark dusk comes to Gokul (Lord Krishna’s village)… |
| Mauli sanj andhaar panha | The mother dusk nurtures the darkness |
| Vishwa saarey janu hoyi Kanha | The whole universe has as if turned into Krishna |
| Mauli sanj andhaar panha | The mother dusk nurtures the darkness |
| Vishwa saarey janu hoyi Kanha | The whole universe has as if turned into Krishna |
| Mand warya vari vahatey basuri, amrutachya janu onjali… |
The gentle breeze carries the tunes of the flute, like carrying nectar in the cup of the palms… |
| Sanj ye Gokuli sawali, sawali, savlya chi janu sawuli |
The dark evening comes to Gokul as if a silhouette of the dark lord (Krishna)… |
