Jo Tum Toro Piya

1

( refrain ) jo tum toro piyā maiṅ nā hī torūn ̣
re toso prīta tore kṛṣṇa kauna saṅga jorūn ̣ re

Refrain: Even though You have broken this bond, I will not break this bond. If I break my bond of love to You, Krsna, who else can I form this bond with?

2

tum bhae taruvara mai ṅ bhaī
paṅkhiyā tum bhae sarovara maiṅ bhaī
machiyā tum bhae girivara maiṅ bhaī
cārā tum bhaye candā maiṅ bhaī cakorā

You are the great tree and I am the bird. You are the lake and I am the fish. You are the mountain and I am the stream. You are the moon and I am the cakora bird that stares at the moon.

3

tum bhae motī prabhu ham bhaye
dhāgā tum bhae sonā ham bhaye
suhāgā mīrā ke prabhu bṛja ke bāsī
tuma mere ṭhākura maiṅ terī dāsī

You are the pearl and I am the thread. You are the gold and I am the benefit. Mira's Lord is a resident of Vraja. You are my Lord and I am Your maidservant.
