yadi gauranga nahito tabe ki hoito kemane dharita de
radhara mahima prema rasa sima jagate janato ke
jagate janato ke(1)
If Gaura had not come,
What would have we become,
How could we manage to live?
If Gaura had not come,
What would have we become,
How could we manage to live?

Sri Radha’s greatness, love at it’s highest,

What would have we become,
How could we manage to live?

Conjugal sweetness in Vrindavan’s forests,
Who could find entrance to this?
Conjugal sweetness in Vrindavan’s forests,
Who could find entrance to this?The Vraja maidens’ moods of devotion-
The Vraja maidens’ moods of devotion-

Who has the power to get?
Who has the power to get?
Who has the power to get?

If Gaura had not come,
What would have we become,
How could we manage to live?

Over and over sing Gauranga’s qualities,
With a pure simple mind,

With a pure simple mind,

Within all nature, His great compassion…

What would have we become,
How could we manage to live?

Chanting Gauranga, my heart’s not melting
How does my body survive?
Chanting Gauranga, my heart’s not melting
How does my body survive?

For Narahari’s heart stone was given,
For Narahari’s heart stone was given,

How do I remain alive?
How do I remain alive?
How do I remain alive?

yadi gauranga nahito tabe ki hoito kemane dharita de
radhara mahima prema rasa sima jagate janato ke
