English rendition
Refrain: ‘rādhā-kṛṣṇa’ bol bol bolo re sobāi (Everybody chant! Chant Radha-Krishna’s names.)
1) Dancing, Nitāi-Gaur reached Gaṅgā’s shores to chant the Holy Names and teach, “Brothers, māyā’s whirlpool has you fooled and sinking lower constantly.
2) “Know the joyful role of spirit souls is serving Krishna endlessly. Chant Krishna’s name and tears will rain as you vibrate with ecstasy.
3) Chant Radha-Krishna! Join our mission. That is all we beg of you.” Says Bhaktivinod, “Chant and know, misfortune cannot threaten you.”
