  1. Verse 1

    kabe aha gauranga boliya bhojane-sayane,deher jatana, chadibo birakta hana

    kabe aha gauranga boliya bhojane-sayane,deher jatana, chadibo birakta hana

    कबे अह गौरन्ग बोलिय भोजनेसयने,देहेर जतन, छदिबो बिरक्त हन

    Alas… what sorrow I am expressing! When will I ever take the name of Gauranga and become disgusted with sense gratification, giving up all bodily endeavors for eating and sleeping?

  2. Verse 2

    nabadvipa dhame,nagare nagare, abhiman parihari' dhamabasi-ghare,madhukari lobo' khaibo udar bhari'

    nabadvipa dhame,nagare nagare, abhiman parihari' dhamabasi-ghare,madhukari lobo' khaibo udar bhari'

    नबद्विप धमे,नगरे नगरे, अभिमन परिहरिऽ धमबसिघरे,मधुकरि लोबोऽ खैबो उदर भरिऽ

    And when will ever wander from village to village in Sri Navadvipa-dhama, completely giving up my false ego? I will beg madhukari from the homes of dhama-basis, and thus I will fill my belly.

  3. Verse 3

    nadi-tate giya,anjali anjali, pibo prabhu-pada-jala taru-tale podi'alasya tyajibo, paibo sarire bala

    nadi-tate giya,anjali anjali, pibo prabhu-pada-jala taru-tale podi'alasya tyajibo, paibo sarire bala

    नदितते गिय,अन्जलि अन्जलि, पिबो प्रभुपदजल तरुतले पोदिऽअलस्य त्यजिबो, पैबो सरिरे बल

    Sometimes I will wander to the bank of the Ganga, and if I feel thirsty, then I will drink that sacred water that has washed the lotus feet of the Lord, palmful by palmful. If I fell tired, I will simply fall down under the nearest tree. When I feel enough strength, i will give up my idleness and continue wandering here and there.

  4. Verse 4

    kakuti koriya,'gaura-gadadhara', 'sri-radha-madhava'nama kandiya kandiya,daki ucca-rabe bhramibo sakala dhama

    kakuti koriya,'gaura-gadadhara', 'sri-radha-madhava'nama kandiya kandiya,daki ucca-rabe bhramibo sakala dhama

    ककुति कोरिय,ऽगौरगदधरऽ, ऽस्रिरधमधवऽनम कन्दिय कन्दिय,दकि उच्चरबे भ्रमिबो सकल धम

    In a mood of humble solicitation I will call out loudly the names of "Gaura-Gadadhara" and 'Sri-Radha-Madhava', and thus weeping and weeping I will wander throughout the entire dhama.

  5. Verse 5

    baisnaba dekhiya,padibo carane, hrdayer bandhu jani' baisnaba thakura,'prabhur kirtana' dekhaibe das mani'

    baisnaba dekhiya,padibo carane, hrdayer bandhu jani' baisnaba thakura,'prabhur kirtana' dekhaibe das mani'

    बैस्नब देखिय,पदिबो चरने, ह्र्दयेर बन्धु जनिऽ बैस्नब थकुर,ऽप्रभुर किर्तनऽ देखैबे दस मनिऽ

    Seeing a Vaisnava devotee, I will fall at his lotus feet, knowing him to be the only true friend of my heart. Accepting me as his servant, the most revered devotee will then reveal to me the most confidential kirtana used for worshiping the Lord.
