Nacare Nacare Mora Rama Damodara

nācare nācare mora rāma dāmodara
yata nāca tata diba kṣīra nanī sara

Mother Yasoda tells Krishna and Balaram: "My dear Rama and Damodar dance more, dance more! I'll give you condensed milk, butter, and cream!

āmi nāhi dekhi bāchā nāca āra bāra
galāya gāṇthiyā diba manimaya hāra

"Oh, I didn't see You. Dance again! Then I will give You a garland of jewels."

tā tā ( tā tā ) thaiyā thaiyā bale
nandarānī kare tāli diyā nāce rāma yadumani

The queen of Maharaj Nanda gives the beat and directs their dance -- ta ta thaiya thaiya. Rama and Krsna, the jewel of the Yadu dynasty, clap Their hands and dance in time.

rāma kānu ore mora ore rāma kānu
manimaya jhuri mājhe jhalamala tanu

Yasodamayi sings, "O my dear Rama and Kanu (Krishna)! O dear Rama and Kanu! You look so beautiful with Your effulgent bodies and jeweled crowns on Your heads." ·
