Akula Ganger Naiya
( refrain ) akūla gaṅger naiyā,
kṛṣṇa nāmer baiṭhābe jolbe tori baiyā
(Refrain) On the bank of the Ganga River, I will cross this river by the boat of Krsna's name.
kiser baiṭhā nayaner jol dūrjane re duhkhāi
bol āsabe ābār sukhe pābo ṭūṭī kūl bāsaiyā (re)
Living in a materialistic life, with tears of sadness, I have come to the boat. I will attain happiness when I board in.
akhri jale jorāi re mon kṛṣṇa nāme hare
madan kṛpa pābon nebere tol kālo megha laiyā
Oh mind, remember the Lord dark as a thundercloud, by the names of Krsna, Hare, and Madana Mohana. With tears in my eyes, with folded hands, please give me Your mercy.
