gorā abatāre yāra na haila bhakti-rasa āra tāra na dekhi upāya rabira kiraṇe yāra āṅkhi parasanna naila bidhātā bañcita bhela tāya
Translation

Now that Lord Gaura has descended to this world, anyone who does not relish the sweet nectar of bhakti is like a person whose eyes cannot see even when the sun is shining bright. I do not see any way to help such a person. Destiny has cheated him.

2 Refrain
bhaja gorācāndera caraṇa e tina bhubane bhā-i dayāra ṭhākura nā-i gorā baḍa patita-pābana
Translation

Please worship Lord Gauracandra's feet. O my brothers, in all the three worlds no one is merciful like Lord Gaura. He is the great purifier of the fallen souls.

hema jalada kiye prema sarobara karuṇā-sindhu abatāra pā-iyā yemana na haya śītala ki jāni kemana mana tāra
Translation

He is like a monsoon cloud made of gold. He is a great lake of ecstatic spiritual love. He is an ocean of mercy descended to this world. What kind of heart will not find cooling bliss when it meets Lord Gaura? How can I understand such a heart?

bhaba-taribāre hari-nama-mantra bhela kari āpani gaurāṅga kare pāra bhabe ye du\biyā māre keba uddhāribe tāre paramānandera parihāra
Translation

The mantra of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names has come to carry everyone across the ocean of birth and death. Lord Gaurāṅga personally carries everyone to the farther shore of that ocean. The souls now drowning in that ocean will all be lifted up and rescued. Only Paramānanda is still left behind.
