Hari Bolbo Ar Madana Mohana
Song 55
hari bolbo āra madana mohana herabo
go ei rūpe vrajera pathe calabo go
When will I be able to say " Hari " and see Madana Mohana? For this form, I will walk to Vraja.
jāba go vrajendra pure haba go gopikāra
nūpura tāṅdera caraṇe madhura madhura bājabo
go vipine vinoda khelā saṅgete rākhālera
melā tāṅdera caraṇera dhūlā mākhabo go
When I enter the holy land of Braja, I will be the ankle-bells of the gopis ' feet. I will make sweet sweet sounds. I will behold the pastimes of the cowherd boys and will spread the dust from their feet and apply it to my body.
rādhā-kṛṣṇera rūpa-mādhurī heraba du'nayana
bhari nikuñjera dvāre dvārī roibo go
vrajavāsī tomarā sabe ei abhilāṣa purāo
ebe āra kabe śrī-kṛṣṇera bāṅśī śunabo go
I will behold the vision sweet form of Radha and Krsna in my two eyes. I will remain at the gate of the forest of Vraja. O residents of Vrajabhumi, please fulfill my desire! When will I hear the sweet sound of the flute of Sri Krsna?
e deha antima kāle rākhabo śrī-yamunāra
jale jaya rādhe govinda bale bhāsabo
go kahe narottama dāsa nā pūrilo
abhilāṣa āra kabe vraje vāsa korbo go
At the last moment of my life, I will place my body in the Yamuna River and float singing " Jaya Radha Govinda." Narottama Dasa says, "I am unable to fulfill this desire. When will I become a resident of Vraja bhumi?"
