Original lyrics · Bengali transliteration
1) ‘doyāl nitāi caitanya’ bole’ nāc re āmār man nāc re āmār man, nāc re āmāra man
2) (emon, doyāl to nāi he, mār kheye prema dey) (ore) aparādha dūre jābe, pābe prema-dhan (o nāme aparādha-vicāra to nāi he) (takhon) kṛṣṇa-nāme ruci ha’be, ghucibe bandhan
3) (kṛṣṇa-nāme anurāg to ha’be he) (takhon) anāyāse saphal ha’be jīvera jīvan (kṛṣṇa-rati vinā jīvan to miche he) (ese) bṛndābane rādhā-śyāmer pa’be daraśan (gaura-kṛpā ha’le he)
English rendition
1) I chant, “Doyal Nitāi Caitanya,” and my mind must dance. How my mind must dance, how my mind must dance.
2) Where will you find anyone as kind as Nitāi? Any offenses you committed will not apply. Even those who beat on Him receive Krishna prem. All are liberated tasting Krishna’s sweet name.
3) Bonding with the names of Krishna makes life a hit. Ordinary, worldly life brings no benefit. If you relish Krishna’s names, when your body dies, Rādhā Śyāma in Vrindavan will capture your eyes, by the grace of Gaura-Nitāi!
