Wandering madly in Navadvipa
(1)
kabe gaura-bane, suradhani-tate,
"ha radhe ha krsna" bo'le
kandiya bedabo, deho-sukha chadi,
nana-lata taru-tale
When, oh when will I wander here and there weeping in the shade of the trees and creepers along the banks of the celestial Ganges River in Navadvipa? I will cry out "Oh Radhe! Oh Krsna!", and will completely forget about all the so-called pleasures of the material body.
(2)
(kabe) swapaca-grhete, magiya khaibo,
pibo saraswati-jal
puline puline, gadagadi dibo,
kori' krsna-kolahal
When will I be able to live so simply by begging some food from the homes of the untouchables? I will drink the water of the Sarasvati river, and in ecstasy I will roll about on the banks of the river, raising a loud uproar of "Krsna! Krsna!"
(3)
(kabe) dhama-basi jane, pranati koriya,
magibo krpar lesa
vaisnava-carana- renu gay makhi',
dhori' avadhuta-besa
When will I bow down to all the inhabitants of the holy land of Navadvipa and humbly beg for a drop of their mercy? I will smear the dust of the Vaisnavas' lotus feet all over my body, and will wander around wearing the dress of a madman.
(4)
(kabe) gaura-braja-bane, bheda na koriya,
hoibo baraja-basi
(takhan) dhamer swarupa, sphuribe nayane,
hoibo radhar dasi
When will I make no distinction between the holy land of Gaura-mandala and Vraja-mandala? At that time, I shall be transformed into a Vraja-basi. Then I will see the true form of the transcendental realm opening up before my very eyes, and I will thus become one of the maidservants of Srimati Radharani.
