TRANSLATION

Refrain: The cowherd girls are carrying butter pots on their heads singing, Â“Please take the all-attractive blackish boy, Syama

from us.Â”

The cowherd girls went to sell milk, but instead said, Â“Take Hari ! Take Hari !Â”

The form of Krsna is fixed on the minds of the cowherd girls. Â“Come here! O come here!Â” said the girls.

The lord of Mira Bai is the courtly Giridhara , the lifter of Govardhana

Hill. Her entire persona comes without a price only for Him.

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

This

thumri

bhajan is to be rendered in Raga Bhairavi in bhajani
