Naina Bhaye Anatha Hamare
( refrain ) nainā bhaye anātha hamāre
madanagopāla yahāṅ teṅ sajanī,
suniyata dūr sidhāre
Refrain: These eyes of ours have become orphans. Since the moment when we heard that madana Gopala has left us and gone far away, my friend.
ve hari jala hama mīna bāpurī kaiseṅ jivahiṅ
niyāre hama cātaka cakora syāmala ṅhana,
badana sudhānidhi pyāre
Hari is the water and we are the wretched fishes; how can we live without Him? We are the cataka birds and He is the dark raincloud. We are the cakora birds, His dear face is the nectarous moon.
madhubana basata āsa darasana kī,
nainā joī maga hāre sūrasyāma kīnī piya aisī,
mṛtaka hute puni more
While he dwelt in the honey-forest, we could hope to Him. Now, our eyes are wearied, watching the way. Our beloved Syama, who is the beloved Lord of Sura Dasa, does such a thing to us. We were dead already, yet He kills us again!
