Maiyya Mori Main Nahin Makhan Khayo
( refrain ) o maiyyā morī, maiṅ nahiṅ mākhan khāyo
(Refrain) Oh Dearest Mother! I didn't eat butter!
bhor bhayo gaiyana ke pāche (
tune ) madhubana mohi paṭhāyo cāra
prahara vaṁśī vaṭa bhaṭakyo
sāñjha paḍe ghara āyo ( maiyyā,
maiṅ kab mākhan khāyo )
In the morning, by your order, I associated with the cows and grazed Madhubana fields. At four hours later, I was playing the flute and roamed and it became evening and I came home. When could I have eaten the butter?
maiṅ bālaka vahi yan ko choṭo yeh chīko vidhī pāyo
gvāla bāla sab bair paḍe haiṅ bar-bas mukha lapaṭāyo
I am so short, and the butter is so high, that how it is possible for Me to reach such stature? These young calf drink milk from their mother cows, and they come and lick me on my lips.
yeh le apani lakuṭa kamarīya bahuta hī nāca nacāyo
jiye tere kachu bheda upaj hai jāni parāyo jāñyo
sūra dāsa tab hasī yaśodā le ura kaṇṭha lagāyo (
naina nīra bharī āyo ) ( tai nahin mākhan khāyo )
"Here is your stick and kambala again, and use it dance. Now that you accuse Me wrongly. I now realize a great secret, that you are not My mother. You are My foster mother." Sura Dasa, then, sees Mother Yasoda clasping Krsna on her breast and neck and said with teary eyes, "You didn't eat butter!"
