jaya rādhe jaya kṛṣṇā jaya vṛndāvana

rasika mukuṭa maṇi jaya gopī-gana

rādhe rādhe rādhe śyāma rādhe rādhe śyāma śyāma

rādhe śyāma yugala nāma mero hai jīvana

 

(2)

mero eka prāna-dhana eka hi hai jīvana

nanda-nandana madana mohana rādhika-ramaṇa

 

(3)

śyāma hi so mero pyāro śyāma hi mero bharatara

śyāma hi samāyo atho yama tana mana

nitya dhāma vṛndāvana mahārānī kī

 

(5)

nitya dhāma nitya seva nitya pāūń atho yama

rākho rūcī soī joī ṭhakurānī kī

 

TRANSLATION

(Refrain): All glories to Sri Radha! All glories to Sri Krsna! All glories to their abode of Vrndavana! All glories to the gopis who are the jewel of the crown of the rasika mood.

 

1) In this ecstatic mood, Krsna sings “Radhe Radhe” and Radha sings “Syam Syam!” The Holy Name and the divine pair of Radhe Syam are my life and soul.

 

2) I only have one treasure within this life. The son of Nanda Maharaja, the enchanter of all, and pleasure giver to Radharani are my life and soul.

 

3) Syama is the only person who I love. My daily life, mind, body, and soul is being overwhelmed by the love of Syama.

 

4) I am verily the maidservant of Srimati Radharani, who is the eternal queen of the eternal abode of Vrndavana.

 

5) My wish is to obtain a daily practice of doing eternal service in the eternal abode. Thus, I wish to keep my life in the way my master, Srimati Radharani, desires.
