Jodi Gokulochondro Broje na elo
If Gokulochondro (Krishna) does not come to me
Shokhi go..
Dear friend (shokhi refers to a woman’s female friends)
Gokulochondro….(Krishna)
Amar jeebon morono poroshorotono, kancheri shoman helo
My life and death are equally worthless without Him
Gokulochondro…(Krishna)
Jeebon amar biphole gelo
My life will go in vain
Kono kajei laglo na go
It will be of no use without His presence
Ami gerua boshona ongete dharibo
I will don the gerua (saffron) robes of a renunciate
Shonkhero kundolo kori
And wear shells as ear rings
Ami jogini hoye jabo shei deshe
Being a yogini, thus, I will go to the land
Jethae nithooro Hari
Where dwells my cruel beloved Hari (cruel is lovingly said as Krishna left Radha forever in Vrindavan & went to Mathura)
De de amaye shajaye de go
Come and dress me in my renunciate robes (appealing to her women friends)
Amar bhushan bhalo laglo na go
I have no use for any fineries, my friends
De de amaye shajaye de go..
Come and dress me (as a yogini)
Gokulochondro…
Ami Mothura nogore, proti ghore ghore, jaibo jogini hoye
I will visit Mathura city, and go from each house to house, as a yogini (looking for Him)
Jodi milaye bidhi, momo guno nidhi
If God unites me with my Love
Bandhibo onchole kori
I will tie Him to the end of my robe
Ami oncholete bendhe anibo
I will bring Him back tied to my robe
Shei choncholo Gobindere
My fleeting Govinda (Krishna)
Oncholete bendhe anibo, Gokulochondro…
I will tie Him and bring him back
Hari bol, Hari bol, Hari bol, Hari bol….
Say the name of Hari (Krishna)
