Word for word
‘rādhā-kṛsna' bol bol bolo—everyone chant, chant, chant, ‘Rādhā Kṛṣṇa!'; re—oh!; sobāi—everyone; (ei) śikhā—this teaching; diyā—giving; sab nadīyā—all over the land of Nadia; phirche—wandering around; nece'—while dancing; gaura-nitāi—Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda; (miche)—needlessly; māyār bośe—under the control of māyā; yāccho bhese'—carried away by the waves; khāccho hābuḍubu—sometimes floating and sometimes sinking; bhāi—O brothers!
Translation

"Everyone chant, chant, chant, 'Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa'!" Lord Caitanya and Lord Nityānanda are dancing throughout Nadia, giving this teaching to all. O brothers, you are needlessly suffering under the control of māyā and being carried away by her waves, sometimes floating and sometimes sinking in this ocean of illusion.

(jīv) kṛṣṇa-dās, e biśwās, korle to' ār duḥkho nāi (kṛṣṇa) bolbe jabe, pulak ha'be jhorbe āṅkhi, boli tāi
Word for word
jīv—the spirit soul; kṛṣṇa-dās—the eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa; e viśvās korle—if you have this faith; to'—then; ār duhkho nāi—there will be no more misery; (kṛṣṇa) bolbe jabe—when you chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa; pulak ha'be—your body will shiver in ecstasy; jhorbe ānkhi—your eyes will shed tears; boli tāi—this is what I say
Translation

If you just understand that the spirit soul is the eternal servant of Kṛṣṇa, you will never have any more sorrows. And when you chant the holy name of Kṛṣṇa, your eyes will fill with tears and your body shiver in transcendental ecstasy. This is what I say.

Translation

Chant "Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa" in the association of devotees. This is all I ask. Bhaktivinoda says, "When I chant the holy name of the Lord, all dangers flee."
