Baul Baul Bolche Sabe lyrics

`bāul bāul’ bolche sabe, hocche bāul kon janā dāḍi-cūḍā dekhiye (o bhāi) korche jīvake vañcanā

`baul baul’ bolche sabe, hocche baul kon jana dadi-cuda dekhiye (o bhai) korche jivake vancana

`बाउल बाउल्ऽ बोल्छे सबे, होच्छे बाउल कोन जना दाडिचूडा देखिये (ओ भाइ) कोर्छे जीवके वञ्चना

Everyone keeps using the word "Baul, Baul" as a cheap label, but who has actually become a Baul (a pure devotee gone mad in genuine ecstatic love of God)? By merely exhibiting a long beard and a topknot upon your head, O brothers, you thus cheat many people.

deha-tattva—jaḍer tattva, tā’te ki chāḍāy māyār gartta, cidānanda paramārtha, jānte to tāy pārbe nā

deha-tattva—jader tattva, ta’te ki chaday mayar gartta, cidananda paramartha, jante to tay parbe na

देहतत्त्व—जडेर तत्त्व, ताऽते कि छाडाय मायार गर्त्त, चिदानन्द परमार्थ, जान्ते तो ताय पार्बे ना

Your philosophy of deha-tattvadeha-tattva (the material body is supposedly divine) is simply a philosophy of dull matter (jada-tattva). By maintaining such a doctrine, is it possible to become freed from the womb of Maya? The supreme goal of life is the attainment of eternally conscious bliss (cid-ananda). Although you understand this well, you will still be unable to enter transcendence!

jadi bāul cāo re ho’te, tabe calo dharma-pathe, yoṣit-saṅga sarva-mate chāḍo re maner vāsanā

jadi baul cao re ho’te, tabe calo dharma-pathe, yosit-sanga sarva-mate chado re maner vasana

जदि बाउल चाओ रे होऽते, तबे चलो धर्मपथे, योषित्सङ्ग सर्वमते छाडो रे मनेर वासना

O! If you really want to become a genuine Baul (a transcendental madman), then please proceed on the path of religiosity. Oh! Just abandon in all ways the mind's craving for the inappropriate company of women!

veśa-bhūṣā-raṅga jata, chāḍi’ nāme hao re rata, nitāi-cāṅder anugata, hao chāḍi’ sab durvāsanā

vesa-bhusa-ranga jata, chadi’ name hao re rata, nitai-cander anugata, hao chadi’ sab durvasana

वेशभूषारङ्ग जत, छाडिऽ नामे हओ रे रत, निताइचाङ्देर अनुगत, हओ छाडिऽ सब दुर्वासना

O! Abandoning the performance of adorning yourself with dramatic clothing and ornaments in imitation of Lord Krishna, may you become attached to chanting His pure holy names. May you become the loyal follower of Nitai Canda, thereby renouncing all evil obsessions.

mukhe `hare kṛṣṇa’ bolo, chāḍo re bhāi kathār chala, nām vinā to’ su-sambala, cāṅda-bāul ār dekhe nā

mukhe `hare krsna’ bolo, chado re bhai kathar chala, nam vina to’ su-sambala, canda-baul ar dekhe na

मुखे `हरे कृष्णऽ बोलो, छाडो रे भाइ कथार छल, नाम विना तोऽ सुसम्बल, चाङ्दबाउल आर देखे ना

O my dear brothers! Completely giving up your clever manipulative speech, just fill your mouths with the chanting of "Hare Krsna!" Cand Baul sees no means of support other than the abundant resource of the Lord's holy name.
