Ghar men Gangā āī santo
The Ganges has come home
Two ways into the same verse. Tap a line to find its echo.
Saints, the Ganges has come home, come home.
घर में गंगा आई संतो, घर में गंगा आई ।
He is flute and Krishna, he the Yadava king.
आपे मुरली आप घनईआ, आपे जादूराई ।
Dung-gatherer and shepherd, he appears as all.
आप गोबरिया आप गडरिया, आपे देत दिखाई ।
From the gate of endless music came the cowherd, clasping my wrist with a bangle.
अनहद दवार का आया गवरिया, कंङण दसत चढ़ाई ।
Love shaved my head and placed rings in my ears.
मूंड मुंडा मोहे परीती कोरेन कन्नां मैं पाई ।
Taste that immortal fruit, holy one; keep a little faith.
अम्मृत फल खा ल्यो रे गुसाईं, थोड़ी करो बफाई ।
Saints, the Ganges has come home, come home.
घर में गंगा आई संतो, घर में गंगा आई ।
