Dharma Pathe Thaki lyrics

dharma-pathe thāki’ koro jīvana jāpana, bhāi hari-nām koro sadā (ore o bhāi) hari vinā bandhu nāi

dharma-pathe thaki’ koro jivana japana, bhai hari-nam koro sada (ore o bhai) hari vina bandhu nai

धर्मपथे थाकिऽ कोरो जीवन जापन, भाइ हरिनाम कोरो सदा (ओरे ओ भाइ) हरि विना बन्धु नाइ

O my dear brothers! Just pass your lives by adhering to the proper path of religiosity. Constantly chant Hari-nama, O brothers, for other than Lord Hari you have no friend.

je kono vyavasā dhori’, jīvana nirvāha kori’, bolo mukhe hari hari, ei mātra bhikṣā cāi

je kono vyavasa dhori’, jivana nirvaha kori’, bolo mukhe hari hari, ei matra bhiksa cai

जे कोनो व्यवसा धोरिऽ, जीवन निर्वाह कोरिऽ, बोलो मुखे हरि हरि, एइ मात्र भिक्षा चाइ

Accepting whatever livelihood that suits you, just live your life honestly. Fill your mouths with the constant chanting of "Hari! Hari!" This is the only alms I beg of you!

gaurāṅga-caraṇe majo, anya abhilāṣa-tyajo, brajendra-nandane bhajo, tabe boḍo sukha pāi

gauranga-carane majo, anya abhilasa-tyajo, brajendra-nandane bhajo, tabe bodo sukha pai

गौराङ्गचरणे मजो, अन्य अभिलाषत्यजो, ब्रजेन्द्रनन्दने भजो, तबे बोडो सुख पाइ

Remain absorbed in the lotus feet of Lord Gauranga, renounce all other ambitions, and worship Vrajendra-Nandan. If you would do this much, then I will experience great pleasure.

āmi cāṅda-bāul-dās, kori tava kṛpā āśa, jānāiyā abhilāṣa, nityānanda-ājñā gāi

ami canda-baul-das, kori tava krpa asa, janaiya abhilasa, nityananda-ajna gai

आमि चाङ्दबाउल्दास्, कोरि तव कृपा आश, जानाइया अभिलाष, नित्यानन्दआज्ञा गाइ

I am Cand Baul Das, and I wish only to receive your mercy. I have informed you of my desires, for I sing as I have been personally ordered by Lord Nityananda.
