Ke Jabi Ke Jabi Bhai Bhava Sindhu Para lyrics

ke jābi ke jābi bhāi bhava-sindhu-pāra dhanya kali-yugera caitanya-avatāra

ke jabi ke jabi bhai bhava-sindhu-para dhanya kali-yugera caitanya-avatara

के जाबि के जाबि भाइ भवसिन्धुपार धन्य कलियुगेर चैतन्यअवतार

Who will go? Who will go, brothers? Who will cross over this ocean of material suffering? This Kali-yuga in which Sri Caitanya-avatara has appeared is blessed. [Caitanya-avatara does not come in every Kali-yuga.]

āmāra gaurāṅgera ghāṭe adāna-kheyā vaya jada, andha, ātura avadhi pāra haya

amara gaurangera ghate adana-kheya vaya jada, andha, atura avadhi para haya

आमार गौराङ्गेर घाटे अदानखेया वय जद, अन्ध, आतुर अवधि पार हय

At the bathing place of my Gauranga, a free ferry-boat is waiting. There is no restriction , everyone is coming, including the lame, blind and distressed. All are climbing aboard to cross over.

harināmera naukākhāni śrī guru kāṇḍārī saṅkīrtana kheroyāla du’bāhu pasāri

harinamera naukakhani sri guru kandari sankirtana kheroyala du’bahu pasari

हरिनामेर नौकाखानि श्री गुरु काण्डारी सङ्कीर्तन खेरोयाल दुऽबाहु पसारि

Harinama is the boat, Sri Guru is the helmsman and the sankirtana party moving with up-raised arms are the oars!

saba jīva haila pāra premera vātāse paḍiyā rahila locana āpanāra doṣe

saba jiva haila para premera vatase padiya rahila locana apanara dose

सब जीव हैल पार प्रेमेर वातासे पडिया रहिल लोचन आपनार दोषे

All souls can cross over with the favorable winds of prema. Only Locana dasa is so unfortunate that, due to his own fault, he has been left behind.
