kabe
gaura-vane, suradhunī-taṭe, `hā rādhe hā kṛṣṇa' bole' kāṅdiyā beḍā'bo, deho-sukha chāḍi', nānā latā-taru-tale
Word for word
kabe - when?; gaura -vane-in the forest of Lord Gaurāńga ( Navadvīpa ); suradhunī-taṭe -on the banks of the celestial Ganges; 'ha rādhe ha kṛṣṇa ' bole' -chanting, "O Rādhā! O Kṛṣṇa!"; kāndiyā -while weeping; berā'bo - I will wander; deho-sukha chāḍi ' -forgetting all physical comforts; nānā latā-taru -of various creepers and trees; tale-under the shade.
When, oh when will I wander here and there, weeping under the shade of the trees and creepers along the banks of the celestial Ganges River in Navadvipa? I will cry out "Oh Radhe! Oh Krsna!", and I will completely forget about all the so-called pleasures of this material body.
śwa-paca-gṛhete,
māgiyā khāibo, pibo saraswatī-jala puline puline, gaḍā-gaḍi dibo, kori' kṛṣṇa-kolāhala
Word for word
śva-paca-gṛhete -at the homes of the dog-eaters; māgiyā -by begging; khāibo -I will take my meals; pibo -I will drink; sarasvatī-jala -the water of the Sarasvatī river; puline puline -along both the banks of the river; gaḍā-gaḍi dibo -I will roll on the ground; kori ' kṛṣṇa-kolāhala -raising an uproar of " Kṛṣṇa! Kṛṣṇa!"
When will I be able to live so simply by begging some food from the homes of the untouchables who live here and there? I will drink the water of the Sarasvati, and in ecstasy I will roll to and fro on the banks of the river, raising a loud uproar of "Krsna! Krsna!"
dhāma-bāsī
jane, pranati koriyā, māgibo kṛpāra leśa vaiṣṇava-caraṇa- reṇu gāya mākhi', dhori' avadhūta-veśa

dhāma-bāsī jane -to the inhabitants of the holy land; praṇati koriyā - bowing down; māgibo -I will beg; kṛpāra leśa -a bit of their mercy; vaiṣṇava-caraṇa-renu -the dust of the Vaiṣṇavas ' feet; gāya mākhi ' - smearing on my body; dhori ' -I will wear; avadhūta-veśa -the dress of a mendicant.
When will I bow down to all the inhabitants of the holy land of Navadvipa and receive a bit of their causeless mercy? I will smear the dust of the Vaisnavas' lotus feet all over my body, and I will wear the dress of a mad wandering mendicant.
gauḍa-braja-jane,
bheda nā dekhibo, hoibo baraja-bāsī dhāmera swarūpa, sphuribe nayane, hoibo rādhāra dāsī
Word for word
gauḍa-braja-jane -the inhabitants of Navadvīpa and those of Vrajabhūmi; bheda nā dekhibo -I will see no difference; hoibo -I will be transformed; baraja-bāsī -into a resident of Vraja; dhāmera svarūpa -the true nature of the Lord's abode; sphuribe nayane -will manifest itself to my eyes; hoibo -and I will become; rādhāra dāsī -a maidservant of Srīmatī Rādhārāṇī
When I factually observe that the transcendental lane of Navadvipa is not different from Sri Vraja-bhumi, then I shall be transformed into a Vrajabasi also. Then I will see the true form of the transcendental realm opening up before my very eyes, and I will thus become one of the maidservants of Srimati Radharanai.
