dakshine nitâi-când, vâme, gadâdhara
At Nitai's right side stands Gadâdhara,

s'ankha bâje ghanthâ bâje bâje karatâla
Conchshells resound, bells are ringing , karatâla's are heard,
madhura mridanga bâje parama rasâla
sweet plays the mrdanga, how supreme the mood.

nitaigaura haribol, haribol, haribol, haribol
sing of Nitai and Gauranga, sing the Lord His name.

bahu-koti candra jini vadana ujjvala
The briliance of His face outshines millions of moons,
gala-des'e vana-mâlâ kore jhalamala
and the garland around his neck radiates.
(7)
s'iva-s'uka-nârada preme gada-gada
Shiva, Suka and Nârada choked up in ecstatic love,
bhakativinoda dekhe gorâra sampada
thus envisions Bhaktivinod the glory of Gaura.
