Translation

Verse 1

Calling out "Hari!", our Gaura has come!

Verse 2

He has come, moon-like Gauranga, overflowing and staggering with love; together with Nitai and Advaita, he has entered Godruma.

Verse 3

Intoxicated with the mellow of sankirtana, he distributed the holy name; arriving at the very marketplace of the name, he flooded the whole world with love.

Verse 4

Today the sorrow of Godruma's residents has gone far away; coming together with his host of devotees, he has awakened the marketplace of the name.

Verse 5

Wandering through Nadia, Gaura has come to the marketplace of the name; Gaura has come to that marketplace, and Nitai too has come there with him.

Verse 6

Intoxicated Nitai dances on the field of Godruma; Nitai maddens the whole world with the wrestling-bout of divine love.

Verse 7

Go and see for yourself! Advaita and the host of devotees dance at landing after landing along the riverbank; the formidable Kali flees, falling into utter confusion.

Verse 8

With what joy have the living beings been flooded, afloat in the dance of Gaurachandra! Seeing and hearing it, the very hearts of the faithless blasphemers burst with envy.
