Tomar hiyay amar, nei ki kono sthan
Balo nei ki kono sthan
Thai jodi na thake, kothay amar tran
Balo kothay amar tran.  Tomar hiyay amar …

Birat moner odhish tumi, nei je tomar iti
Khudra bindu shamo ami, tuchha prani oti
Amay jodi sthan nahi dao, badhbe nako maan
Tomar badhbe nako maan.  Tomar hiyay amar…

Here java hiyar majhe, tumi dhrubo tara
Shiter rater barshanete, ushna prolep dhara
Shabar Iagi tumi achho, achho ami chhada
Ami chhada tumi eje, tomar apoman,
Balo tomar apoman. Tomar hiyay amar….

Translation: 

Is there no place for me in  your heart?
Tell me, is there no place for me?
If there is no place then tell me where would be my liberation?
Tell me, where would be my liberation?

You are the controller of the infinite mind and You are endless.
I am like an insignificant drop, like an extremely insignificant life.
If you don’t give me a place in Your heart, Your prestige will not increase.

You are the guide for all those hearts who are lost.
In a cold night you are like warmth
You are for everybody but You are without me.
The fact that You are without me is actually an insult to You.

Sheje eshe chhe, mor hridoye gunjariya.

Mone prane take nilo bhoriya

Translation:

Parampurush has come and my heart is as if humming.
Nectar is filled and sweetness is dripping.
Invisible, God is in my mind.
Enlightening everything.
Dripping sweetness everywhere.

How does He appear with such a supra-esthetic beauty?
How does He smile such a heart intoxicating smile?
Withering away dark clouds of my sufferings by His light
Filling my heart with rainbow colors
Dripping sweetness everywhere.

All songs, all notes, all music in the world
Filled my heart and mind
Sweetness is dripping everywhere

Translation:

In the midst of the dark cloudy night, and the songs and music
I keep begging for Your grace.
I will serve this universe suffering in sorrow.
Oh Parampurusha I want to please You.

You are the light of my pranas, You are the pole star of the lost (traveler)
Your depths are immeasurable, You are vast like  thousand flows
As much as one may try, (but) will never find your depths.

When there was nothing, You were there alone.
Oh Purushottama how could You have created this universe?
How did You be come many from One?
There is no answer to this question.

Translation:

This song is sung by devotees (Gopis) of Krishna after He left Gokul, and became the king of Mathura. There is sweet painful pleas from devotees to request Krishna to return to Gokul. The song represents spiritual bondage of sadhaka. The nature of this bondage is painfulness from missing the experiences of proximity, closeness, with Parampurusha.

Oh Krishna, Oh Ghanashyama, wont You come again as You did in those days?
Wont there be light at the jail of Mathura oh Gunadham? *

All the cows (of Gokul) used to feel so intoxicated seeing You
Will they no longer hear Your flute?
Will the beautiful nights no longer brighten the home of Nanda?

There will no longer be tides in the waters of Jamuna.
No longer will people remember You when they see dark color
No longer will Gopi dance non-stop in the forests of Tamal trees, oh Krishna.

 

Note:
* Gunadham= abode of good qualities.
Krishna was born in the jail of Mathura. Krishna’s maternal uncle, Kamsa, was then the king of Mathura, and had imprisoned his sister Devaki (mother of Krishna) and Vasudev (Krishna’s father), because he had heard the prophecy that the eigth child of Devaki would destroy him. Krishna was the eighth child, who ultimately did destroy Kamsa.

Modhumoy she bhabona, dutimoy she chetona,

Translation:

You came in the midst of stormy scary winds
I was asleep (though).
You awakened me, coming in my mind with music and rhythms
I was staring, I was asleep.

Forgetting everything of the past, I look forward to the new dawn
Story of the past and memories of the lost days
All have swept away.

Slowly You came near me, and told me the story
You entered the deep recesses of mind.
That sweet feeling, that bright cognition
Only with that (memory) have I swept myself away.

Translation:

(From PrabhatSamgiita.net)

O Lord, You are immeasurable.
You have taken Your seat in the mental Vraja.
O noble child of Mathura,
Your body is anointed with sandal paste and decorated with kaostubha gems.
It emanates the beauty of a red kinshuka flower.

In the tamala, kadamba and bamboo groves of Gokula,
You appear before me, in my wakeful and sleeping states,
with a charming smile, as if standing under the trees
You are in my thought. You always shower Your grace upon all.
You are the effulgent light in the core of every heart.
Come, O dear Lord, into the depths of my heart.

Be with me like the inherent quality of whiteness in snow or the burning faculty in fire.
Your effulgence engulfs every particle of the creation.
Your overflowing love fills every microcosm.
You are above and beyond the universe.
You are the Supreme Lord of the intellect of every unit being.

Translation:

This universe filled with color of love,
Please do not emit bitterness.
Let no one cry (in pain)
In the charming colorful smiles
Please do not disturb peace.

The morning lotus with lovely smile,
Conveys fragrance of love,
Sweetness full of lovely light
Please do not darken.

The evening star (Venus) speaks with a gentle smile
The love of all merged in all
The scent of ketaki, keshar floating away in the vast sky
Please do not hinder.

Translation:

You came in a silent night
Filling my heart, (my whole being) with light.
Alhough I had no merits,You came to me
And taught me how to love,
To love all beings.

The more I try to forget You,
The closer You brought me to You.
Your flute (Your call) destroyed my all (petty “I”).
Vibrations of Your flute, overflowing the (banks of) river of my heart
Removed my tears (suffering) and filled me with smile
Your all-destroying (conquering) smile,
Your hypnotic flute captured my prana.

In all seasons, in all times,
You are connected to my prana.
In every particle of my mind and body,
You are connected to me.
You are connected to my mind

You came in a silent night
Filling my entire being with Your effulgence.
Although I possessed no merits, You came,
To teach how to love, how to love all.
