The world gliding down, finds there it's enlightenment.

that animalism is only, misconduct.

(Dm C7^II C F)
nitâi nâ bolilo mukhe, majilo samsâra-sukhe
Not knowing Nitai, they never sing, caught in material pleasures,

(Dm^II Gm Dm Bb, Dm C Dm)
vidhyâ-kule ki koribe tâ'r     R
education and class will not protect them.

dharo nitâi-carana du'khâni     R
therefore have a firm grip on Nitâi's feet

(Dm Gm6^II Edim, Gm C F)
nitâiyer carana satya, tâhâra sevaka nitya
It's no illusion it's a fact, from Nitai's service one is liberated,

(Bb^IIGm Dm, Bb C F Dm)     R
nitâi-pada sadâ koro âs'a
Therefore always hold on to Nitai's feet.

(Dm C7^II C F)
narottama boro dukhi, nitâi more koro sukhî
Narottama unhappy prays 'Lord Nitai grant me happiness,

TRANSLATION

1

Nityânanda's lotus feet - protecting moonshine, enormous. The world slipping finds its enlightenment there. If one doesn't seek ones refuge there, then Radha and Krishna are difficult to approach. Who wants to dance with them will have to accept that.
2
Who does not connect wastes his life, and useless he passes his days. That animalism is only bad conduct. Not knowing Nitai they never sing, caught by material pleasure. Education and class will not protect them
3
Thinking they are the body is their delusion, forgetting Nitai's feet. What is not real they think to be the true. Nityânanda's grace is needed, if you want to attain to Râdha and Krishna. Therefore hold firmly on to Nitai's feet.
4
It is not an illusion, it is a fact, through Nityânanda's service one finds liberation. Therfore always keep to Nitai's feet. Narottama unhappy, prays 'Lord Nitai, give me happiness' . Let me reside with your lotusfeet.
