Bhaja Bhakata

bhaja bhakata-vatsala sri-gaurahari
sri-gaurahari sohi gosta-vihari
nanda-yasomati-cittahari

bela ha'lo, damodara, aisa ekhana

Just worship Sri Gaurahari, who is always affectionate toward His devotees. He is the same Supreme Godhead, Krishna, who sported in the cowherd pastures of Vraja and stole the hearts of Nanda and Yasoda. (Mother Yasoda calls to Krsna): "My dear Damodara, it is very late. Please come home right now!"

bhaja govinda govinda gopala

Just worship Govinda, Krishna, the transcendental cowherd boy who is pleasure-giver to the senses.

kiba jaya jaya goracander aratiko sobha
jahnavi-tata-vane jaga jana-mana-lobha

All glories, all glories to the beautiful arati ceremony of Lord Caitanya. This Gaura-arati is taking place in a grove on the banks of the Jahnavi [Ganges] and is attracting the minds of all living entities in the universe.

kiba vasi ache goracanda ratna-simhasane
arati karena brahma-adi deva-gane

Come see how Lord Caitanya is seated on the jeweled throne. To offer arati to Lord Caitanya all the demigods have come, headed by Lord Brahma.

kiba daksine nitaicanda bame gadadhara
nikate advaita prabhu srinivasa chatradhara

See Nityananda Prabhu on the right side of Lord Caitanya, and on the left side, Sri Gadadhara. Nearby are Advaita Prabhu and Sri Srivasa, who is bearing the umbrella above Lord Caitanya's head.

kiba sankha baje ghanta baje baje karatala
madhura mrdanga baje sunite rasala

Listen to the sounding of the conchshells, the ringing bells, and the sound of the kartals. All these sounds, along with that of the sweet mrdanga, are very relishable to hear.
