Translation:

"Leave this river full of lotuses, child
You might wake up our master fast asleep.
He will definitely not spare you if he wakes
Moreover, the sin of murdering a mere child will be on our heads!
Leave this river..

Tell me, boy, have you lost your way, or has some foe led you astray?
You seem to have run out of your time, dear child,
Or else, why would you ever think of coming here?
Leave this river..

"No I haven't lost my way and no foe can lead me astray,
O consorts of Cobra, back there in Mathura
I just happened to lose your man's head in a friendly bet!"
Leave this river..

"You are so cute, so pretty, so irresistible!
Tell us how many children your mother has
So that you are unwanted?
Leave this river..

"I am Natwar, the younger of two brothers
Go and wake up that snake of yours
I am Krishna- the dark one!"
Leave this river..

"Come, come, we will give you garland worth lakhs,
We will give you necklace made of pure gold,
Without letting our master know!"
Leave this river..

"What am I to do with that garland of yours?
Pray what is the use of that necklace to Me?
And why should you pilfer in your own house, O serpents?'
Leave this river..

Distraught they shook up the sleeping master by feet,
They wrenched him by his whiskers in great distress,
'O wake up Master," they said "there is a child at our door"
Leave this river

The two powerful ones were locked in mortal combat,
In no time Krishna mastered the colossal cobra,
His thousand hoods hissing furiously
Like the thundering lunar constellation in monsoon!"
Leave this river..

"He will torture our Cobra!" the wives lamented
"He will take him to Mathura and behead him!
O forgive our husband" they pleaded
"We ignorant sinners could not recognize You!
We could not fathom You, O Lord"
Leave this river..

They offered pearls in devotion and somehow managed to rescue
Their seized husband from Narsaiyya's Lord
Leave this river..

Bhajan My Mom used to Play everyday When i would come out of Shawer & Radio Ahmedabad used to start @ 6:00am by playing this prayer, Its a part of my daily routine in the childhood as well as connected with my mom's memory on my Brain. Feels like just yesterday. Its amazing some of the memories stays with you forever & never forget.

Now many Maratti Abhangs are being sung in the south Indian bajan sampradaya. Gujarathi songs and especially Sri Narsi Mehtas are yet to be popularized in this part of India. The translation effort is very great and we are able to relish the meaning of the song. Some thing may be done to spread the gujarathi bajans to the South. Thanks and regards,

બેઉ બળિયા બાથે વળગિયા, શ્રીકૃષ્ણે કાળીનાગ નાથિયો

સહસ્ત્ર ફેણાં ફુંફવે જેમ, ગગન ગાજે હાથિયો

નાગણ સૌ વિલાપ કરે કે, નાગને બહુ દુઃખ આપશે

મથુરા નગરીમાં લઈ જશે, પછી નાગનું શીશ કાપશે

બેઉ કર જોડી વીનવે, સ્વામી ! મૂકો અમારા કંથને

અમે અપરાધી કાંઈ ન સમજ્યાં, ન ઓળખ્યાં ભગવંતને

થાળ ભરીને શગ મોતીડે, શ્રીકૃષ્ણને રે વધાવિયો

નરસૈંયાના નાથ પાસેથી, નાગણે નાગ છોડાવિયો
