sundara mor mana kiśor

kāńdāle āmāy giridhāri lāl

ei jīvane hāy jadi nāhi pāy

maraṇer upare śaraṇa nilām

 

WORD FOR WORD TRANSLATION: Sundara Mora Mana Kisora

 

TRANSLATION

Refrain: O beautiful one! O youthful boy who lives in my heart! Please come to me, O dark Syamal, O delighter of my eyes!

 

The desire of my heart is to worship You intimately. In this hope, I humbly bow unto Your lotus feet.

 

O love of my eyes! Please take me with You! While I am suffering in Your separation, the melody of our impending meeting is the only thing that gives me any happiness. O monarch of my life! Why do You remain silent and never speak to me? Tears are flowing from my eyes, and nothing in this world gives me any satisfaction.

 

How much longer must I continue living in this condition? You are making me weep and cry out for You, O darling Giridhari Lal! If I cannot attain You in this lifetime, then I shall just give up and surrender myself unto death.

 

Remarks/ Extra Information

This song became popularized by Vaiyasaki Dasa’s 1983 album “Transcendence.” It is rendered in Raga Misra Bhairavi in Kaherva Tala.

 

Verse 1 has the variation:

“ pūjibo tomāy ” vs. “ bhajibo tomāy ” with the same translation.

 

Verse 2 has the variation:

“ āratīra dīp nibe nibe jāy

milaner phūl virohe sūkāy

pāṣāna devatā kabe nā ki kothā

nayanera dhārā māne nābhīrām ”

 

“The flame of my arati offering is being put out and the flowers of union is becoming dry in separation. Oh stoned-hearted Lord, why do you remain silent? Tears are flowing from my eyes and nothing in this world gives me any satisfaction.”
