Dur Nagari Badi Dur Nagari lyrics

(refrain) dūr nagarī baḍi dūr nagarī (hāṅ) dūr nagarī baḍi dūr nagarī kaise āuṅ maiṅ kanāi tori gokula nagarī

(refrain) dur nagari badi dur nagari (han) dur nagari badi dur nagari kaise aun main kanai tori gokula nagari

(रेfरैन्) दूर नगरी बडि दूर नगरी (हाङ्) दूर नगरी बडि दूर नगरी कैसे आउङ मैङ कनाइ तोरि गोकुल नगरी

If I come in the night, then I will be afraid. If I come in the day, then everyone in the city will see me.

rāta ko āuṅ kānhā ḍar mohe lāge dīn ko āuṅ to dekhe sāri nagarī (hāṅ)

rata ko aun kanha dar mohe lage din ko aun to dekhe sari nagari (han)

रात को आउङ कान्हा डर मोहे लागे दीन को आउङ तो देखे सारि नगरी (हाङ्)

If I come in the night, then I will be afraid. If I come in the day, then everyone in the city will see me.

sakhī saṅga āuṅ kanha śarama mohe lāge akeli āuṅ to bhul jāuṅ ḍagarī (hāṅ)

sakhi sanga aun kanha sarama mohe lage akeli aun to bhul jaun dagari (han)

सखी सङ्ग आउङ कन्ह शरम मोहे लागे अकेलि आउङ तो भुल जाउङ डगरी (हाङ्)

If I come with Your sakhis, then I will feel very shy. If I come alone, then I will forget the roadway to your town!

dhīre dhīre caluṅ to kamara mori lacati jhaṭapaṭa caluṅ to jhal kaye ḍagari (hāṅ)

dhire dhire calun to kamara mori lacati jhatapata calun to jhal kaye dagari (han)

धीरे धीरे चलुङ तो कमर मोरि लचति झटपट चलुङ तो झल कये डगरि (हाङ्)

If I walk slowly, then my waist becomes tired. If I run quickly, then I will miss the path to Gokula!

mīra kahe prabhu giradhara nagara tuma re daraśana bina maiṅ to ho gayī bāvarī (hāṅ)

mira kahe prabhu giradhara nagara tuma re darasana bina main to ho gayi bavari (han)

मीर कहे प्रभु गिरधर नगर तुम रे दरशन बिन मैङ तो हो गयी बावरी (हाङ्)

Mira says to her courtly Lord “Giridhara”, “Without seeing You, I have become mad!”
