(refrain)
dūr nagarī baḍi dūr nagarī (hāń)
dūr nagarī baḍi dūr nagarī
kaise āuń maiń kanāi tori gokula nagarī
(1)
rāta ko āuń kānhā ḍar mohe lāge
dīn ko āuń to dekhe sāri nagarī (hāń)
(2)
sakhī sańga āuń kanha śarama mohe lāge
akeli āuń to bhul jāuń ḍagarī (hāń)
(3)
dhīre dhīre caluń to kamara mori lacati
jhaṭapaṭa caluń to jhal kaye ḍagari (hāń)
(4)
mīra kahe prabhu giradhara nagara
tuma re daraśana bina maiń to ho gayī bāvarī (hāń)
TRANSLATION
(Refrain) The road to Gokula is very far! Indeed it very very far! How is it possible for me to make it to your Gokula?
1) If I come in the night, then I will be afraid. If I come in the day, then everyone in the city will see me.
2) If I come with Your sakhis, then I will feel very shy. If I come alone, then I will forget the roadway to your town!
3) If I walk slowly, then my waist becomes tired. If I run quickly, then I will miss the path to Gokula!
4) Mira says to her courtly Lord “Giridhara”, “Without seeing You, I have become mad!”
