Pierre Edel - Kabe Habe Bolo

Music and lyrics by His Holiness Bhaktivinoda Thakur

Guitar and vocals by Pierre Edel

Aparâdha ghuci', s'uddha nâme ruci,
With no offenses, and the taste increasing,

Kripâ-bale ha'be hridoye sañcâr
When will your mercy shine in my heart?

Kabe ha'be bolo se-dina âmâr
When will that day be mine?

Trinâdhika hîna, kabe nije mâni',
Lower than a straw, tolerant as a tree,

Sahishnutâ-guna hridoyete âni'
When do I attain that quality of mind?

Sakale mânada, âpani amânî,
Respecting all, expecting no honor,

Ho'ye âswâdibo nâma-rasa-sâr
Nectar sublime tasting of the name.

Dhana jana âra, kobitâ-sundarî
Wealth or followers, female beauty,

Bolibo nâ câhi deho-sukha-kari
I do not care about or any comfort!

Janme-janme dâo, ohe gaurahari!
Grant me life after life, o Lord Caitanya,

Ahaitukî bhakti carane tomâr
Devotion non-desiring at Your Lotus feet.

Korite s'rî-krishna- nâma uccârana,
Uttering Krishna Krishna, with a voice choked up,

Pulakita deho gadgada bacana
And the body thereto shivering.

Vaibarnya-vepathu ha'be sanghatana,
When will I tremble, with a paling face,

Nirantara netre ba'be as'ru-dhâr
And will streams of tears well from my eyes?

Kabe navadwîpe, suradhunî-tate,
In Navadvîpa, at the shore of the Ganges

Gaura-nityânanda boli' nishkapate
Cry out Gaura-Nitai, surrendered.

Nâciyâ gâiyâ, bedâibo chute,
Dancing, singing, running all around,

Bâtulera prâya châriyâ bicâr
When will I be half-mad in my mind?

Kabe nityânanda, more kori' doyâ,
When will Nitai, be merciful to me,

Châdâibe mora vishayera mâyâ
And will I discard the world called mâyâ?

Diyâ more nija- caranera châyâ,
Place me in the shadow, of Your lotus feet,

Nâmera hâtete dibe adhikâr
Let the right to speak the name be all mine.

Kinibo, luthibo, hari-nâma-rasa,
I'll fear nothing, for the nectar of the name,

Nâma rase mâti' hoibo bibas'a
The effect of it for sure will astound me.

Rasera rasika- caranera paras'a,
O enjoyer of the name, when will I touch them,

Koriyâ mojibo rase anibâr
Your lotus feet till the end of time

Kabe jîbe doyâ, hoibe udoya,
When for all souls, appears compassion,

Nija-sukha bhuli' sudina-hridoya
With a heart free of selfpity?

Bhakativinoda, koriyâ-vinoya,
Bhaktivinod prays, I'll make a beginning,

S'rî-âjnâ-thahala koribe pracâr
With the preaching of Your sublime mission.
