Ara Ki Emana Dasa Haba
Sa- vilapa sri vrndavana-vasa-lalalas Song 1
āra ki emon daśā hobo sab chāḍi vṛndāvane yābo
When will I renounce everything and go to Vrndavana? When will this be?
āra kobe śrī rāsa maṇḍale gaḍāgaḍi dibo kutūhole
When in great ecstasy will I roll about on the ground where Lord Krsna performed the rasa -dance?
āra kobe govardhana giri dekhibo nayana yuga bhori
When will I see Govardhana Hill, my eyes filling with tears?
śyāmakuṇḍe rādhākuṇḍe snāna kori kobe juḍābe parāṇa
When by bathing in Syama-kunda and Radha-kunda, will I attain the stage of dedicating my entire life and soul to the service of the Divine Couple?
āra kobe yamunāra jole majjane hoibo niramale
When will I become pure at heart by bathing in the waters of the Yamuna?
sādhu saṅge vṛndāvane vāsa narottama dāsa kore āśa
Narottama dasa hopes that he will be able to reside in Vrndavana in the association of the saintly devotees.
