Lyrics

Roman script[nb 1] Bengali script Translation

Abodha kánu kon kuhake
Bhule giye mathurá geli
Gokul vrndávane jata
Khelár sáthii rekhe eli

Gopiirá ná manthe dadhi
Káṋde tárá niravadhi
Bale tárá cai ná nanii
Naniicor je cale geli
Bhule giye mathurá geli
Kánu geli moder pheli
Moder kathá bhule geli

Jamuná ná bay ujáne
Keu ná bájáy veńu se táne
Got́her dhenu úrdhva páne
Tákáy mukher trńa pheli
Bhule giye mathurá geli
Kánu geli rájá hali
Moder kathá bhule geli

অবোধ কানু কোন্‌ কুহকে
ভুলে গিয়ে মথুরা গেলি
গোকুল বৃন্দাবনে যত
খেলার সাথী রেখে এলি

গোপীরা না মন্থে দধি
কাঁদে তারা নিরবধি
বলে তারা চাই না ননী
ননীচোর যে চলে গেলি
ভুলে গিয়ে মথুরা গেলি
কানু গেলি মোদের ফেলি
মোদের কথা ভুলে গেলি

যমুনা না বয় উজানে
কেউ না বাজায় বেণু সে তানে
গোঠের ধেনু ঊর্ধ্ব পানে
তাকায় মুখের তৃণ ফেলি
ভুলে গিয়ে মথুরা গেলি
কানু গেলি রাজা হলি
মোদের কথা ভুলে গেলি

Foolish Kanu,[nb 2] by some sorcery;
Forgetting us, to Mathura You went.
At Gokul in Vrindavan, Your every
Playmate was thus left unchecked.

The milkmaids, they stopped churning curd;
They merely weep without an end.
They say: "We don't want butter
Now the butter-thief, You left.
Forgetting us, to Mathura You went.
Kanu, You have gone away, deserting us;
You ignored our condition.

"The Jamuna[nb 3] no longer flows upstream;
No one plays flute to that melody.
The cows at pasture, toward the heaven
Their faces gaze, grass dismissed.
Forgetting us, to Mathura You went.
Kanu, to become a king, You departed;
You ignored our condition."

Notes

  1. ^ For details on the notation, see Roman Bengali transliteration.
  2. ^ Kánu is a pet name of Krsna as a child. It means "beautiful" or "handsome".
  3. ^ Gokul, where Krsna grew up, is located alongside the Jamuna River. Here, the river is also symbolic of the mind.
