GAYE GORA MADHURA SWARE
by Bhaktivinoda Thakura.
(1)
gāye gorā madhura sware
hare kṛṣṇa hare kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa kṛṣṇa hare hare
hare rāma hare rāma rāma rāma hare hare
(2)
gṛhe raho, vana meń raho, sadā hari hari kaho,
sukha meń duḥkh meń bhulo nahiń, mukha se hari-nām bolo re
(3)
māyā-jāla baddha hoyā, bṛddha hi ke kāja liye,
ab bhī mana tū ceta hokara, rādhā-mādhava bol re
(4)
aba to jīvana huwā śeṣa, bhajā nahiń hṛṣīkeśa
bhaktivinodopadeśa, nām-meń matta hobo re
TRANSLATION
1) Lord Gaurasundara sings in a very sweet voice, Hare Krsna, Hare Krsna, Krsna Krsna, Hare Hare, Hare Rama, Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare Hare.
2) Whether you are a householder or a sannyasi, constantly chant “Hari! Hari!” Do not forget this chanting, whether you are in a happy condition or a distressful one. Just fill your lips with the hari-nama.
3) You are bound up in the network of Maya and are forced to toil fruitlessly. Now you have obtained full consciousness in the human form of life, so chant the names of Radha-Madhava.
4) Your life may end at any moment, and you have not served the Lord of the senses, Hrsikesa. Take this advice of Bhaktivinoda Thakura: “Just once, relish the nectar of the holy name!”
