prema-sindhu gorā-rāya nitā-i taraṅga tāya karuṇā bātāsa cāri pāśe prema uthaliyā paḍe jagata hākāla chāḍe tāpa tṛṣṇā sabākāra nāśe
Translation

Lord Gaura is a flowing river of spiritual love, a river where Lord Nitāi is the waves and mercy is the breeze blowing in the four directions. Now the ecstasies of love rise and fall in that river. Now the world lets out a tumultous roar. Now every person's burning sufferings and thirsts are at once destroyed.

2 Refrain
dekha dekha nitā-i caitanya dayāmaya bhakta haṁsa candramāke pibi pibi bali ḍāke pā-iyā bañcita kena haya
Translation

Look! Look! There are the merciful Lords Caitanya and Nitāi! In the moonlight the swans of the devotees drink and drink from that river of love. Loudly they sing. Not one of them is cheated of drinking that nectar.

ḍubi rūpa sanātana tole nānā ratna dhana yatane ganthiyā tāra mālā bhakti latā sūtra kari leha jība kaṇṭhe bhari dūre yābe āpanāra jwālā
Translation

Rūpa Gosvāmī and Sanātana Gosvāmī dive deep into that river. Up they come holding treasures of many jewels, jewels they carefully string onto vines of devotional service, string into necklaces they place on the fallen souls' necks, souls the flames of whose sufferings will soon be extinguished, will far away be cast.

līlā rasa saṅkīrtana bikasita padma-bana jagata bharila yāra bāse phuṭila kusuma-bana mātila bhramara-gaṇa pā-iyā bañcita kṛṣṇa dāse
Translation

In those waters of nectar grows a lotus forest filled with nectar pastimes of saṅkīrtana, a forest whose fragrance fills the worlds, a forest where the wild bumblebees and blossoming flowers are the devotees. Alas! Kṛṣṇa dāsa is still cheated of the nectar of that forest.
