Kabe Habe Bolo - Rasa

Kabe ha’be bolo se-dina amar

Aparadha ghuci, suddha name ruci

Krpa- bale ha’be hrdoye sancar

Trnadhika hina, kabe nije mani

Sahisnuta- guna hrdoyete ani

Sakale manada, apani amani

Ho' ye aswadibo nama- rasa- sar

Dhana jana ara, kobita- sundari

Bolibo na cahi deho- sukha- kari

Janme- janme dao, ohe gaurahari

Ahaituki bhakti carane tomar

Korite sri-krsna- nama uccarana

Pulakita deho gadgada bacana

Baibarnya- bepathu ha’be sanghatana

Nirantara netre ba’be asru-dhar

Kabe navadvipe, suradhuni-tate

Gaura- nityananda boli niskapate

Naciya gaiya, bedaibo chute,

Batulera praya chadiya bicar

Kabe Habe Bolo/ translation

When will that day be mine?

Please tell me-

When will my offenses end

And the power of divine grace

Infuse my heart with a taste

For the pure holy name?

When as I chant the divine name

Of Sri Krishna, will my body thrill

With ecstatic rapture, words choked

With emotion, streams of tears

Flowing from my eyes-

When will I dance and sing

Like a madman on the Ganges bank

In Navadvipa?

When will that day be mine?
