Lyrics
gopināth, ghucāo saṁsāra jwālā avidyā-jātanā, āro nāhi sahe, janama-maraṇa-mālā
gopīnāth, āmi to’ kāmera dāsa viṣaya-bāsanā, jāgiche hṛdoye, phādiche karama phāsa
gopināth, kabe vā jāgibo āmi kāma-rūpa ari, dūre teyāgibo, hṛdoye sphuribe tumi
gopīnāth, āmi to’ tomāra jana tomāre chāriyā, saṁsāra bhajinu, bhuliyā āpana-dhana
gopināth, tumi to’ sakali jāno āpanāra jane, daṇḍiyā ekhano, śrī-caraṇe deho sthāno
gopīnāth, ei ki vicāra taba bimukha dekhiyā, chāro nija-jane, na koro’ karuṇā-laba
gopīnāth, āmi to mūrakha ati kise bhālo hoya, kabhu nā bujhinu, tāi heno mama gati
gopīnāth, tumi to’ paṇḍita-bara mūḍhera maṅgala, tumi anveṣibe, e dāse nā bhāvo’ para
Translation
O Gopinatha, please remove the torment of worldly existence. I can no longer tolerate the pain of ignorance and the repeated succession of births and deaths.
O Gopinatha, indeed I am a servant of lust. Worldly desires are awakening in my heart, and thus the noose of fruitive work is beginning to tighten.
O Gopinatha, when will I wake up and abandon afar this enemy of lust, end when will You manifest Yourself in my heart?
O Gopinatha, I am Your devotee, but having abandoned You and thus having forgotten my real treasure, I have worshiped this mundane world.
O Gopinatha, You know everything. Now, having punished Your servant, please give him a place at Your lotus feet.
O Gopinatha, is this Your judgment, that seeing me averse to You, You abandon Your servant and don't bestow even a particle of mercy upon him?
O Gopinatha, I am certainly very foolish, and I have never known what is good for me. Therefore such is my condition.
O Gopinatha, You are indeed the wisest person. Please look for a way to bring about auspiciousness for this fool, and please do not consider this servant as an outsider.
