Para Karenge Naiya Re

1

pār kareṅge naiyā re, bhaja kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā,
kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā dāūjī ke bhaiyā
kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā vaṁśī bajaiyā,
mākhana curaiyā re, bhaja kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā

Worship Kanhaiya, the brother of Balarama. Kanhaiya's lotus feet are the boat to take us across the ocean of material life.

2

kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā girivara uṭhaiyā,
kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā rāsa racaiyā pāra kareṅge naiyā re,
bhaja kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā

Worship Kanhaiya, that Krsna who stays in Vraja, playing the flute and from every gopi's house steals the butter (that is, the soft and pure white hearts that are like butter).

3

mitra sudāmā taṇḍula lāe,
gale lagā prabhu bhoga lagāye kahā kahā kaha bhaiyā re,
bhaja kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā

Worship Kanhaiya, that Krsna who lifted Govardhana Hill and performed the rasa-lila. His lotus feet are the boat to take us across the ocean of material life.

4

arjuna kā ratha raṇa meṅ hākā,
śyāmaliyā giridhārī bākā kālī-nāga nathaiyā re,
bhaja kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā

When his friend Sudama brought Him some low-grade rice, He accepted it, embraced him and cried, "O My brother, you haven't come for such a long time! Where have you been? Did you forget Me?" Worship that Krsna!

5

drupata-sutā jaba duṣṭana gherī,
rākhī lāja na kīnī derī āgaye cīra baḍhaiyā re,
bhaja kṛṣṇa kanhaiyā

In the Mahabharata war Syamaliya (sweet, black, crooked Krsna ) became Arjuna's chariot driver, directing the horses on the battlefield. He lifted Govardhana Hill at such a tender age and He subdued Kaliya Naga by putting a rope through his nose, dragging him out of the Yamuna, Worship that Krsna!
