LYRICS:

(1)

gaurā pahu nā bhajiyā goinu

prema-ratana-dhana helāya hārāinu

 

(2)

adhane yatana kari dhana teyāginu

āpana karama-doṣe āpani ḍubinu

 

(3)

sat-sańga chāḍi’ kainu asate vilāsa

te-kāraṇe lāgilo ye karma-bandha-phāńsa

gaura-kīrtana-rase magana nā hainu

 

(5)

keno vā āchaye prāṇa ki sukha pāiyā

narottam dās keno nā gelo mariyā

 

TRANSLATION

  1. I did not worship Lord Gauranga Prabhu and thus I became full of suffering.  I refused to accept the treasure of pure love of Krsna, and thus I became lost.

 

  1. I reject the treasure of love of Krsna and deliberately struggled to become poor.  I dived into a host of sinful deeds.

 

  1. I rejected the association of the saintly devotees, and instead tried to enjoy among the impious non-devotees.  In this way I became caught in the noose of karma.

 

  1. I continually drank the virulent poison of sense-gratification.  I refused to swim in the nectar of Lord Caitanya’s sankirtana movement.

 

  1. Why do I stay alive?  What happiness do I have?  Why did Narottama dasa not die long ago?
