Banwari re-
Translated by P. R. Ramachander
Jeena ka sahara thera naam re, Mujhe duniya valom se kya kam re
Your name is the help which makes me live,
What have I to do with people of this world.
Jooti dhuniya, joote bandhan, jooti hai ye maya, Joota sans ka aana jaanaa, jooti hai ye kaya, Oh., yaham saanch thera naam re, Banwari re
False earth, false ties, this illusion is false,
False inhaling and exhaling, This body itself is false,
Hey, the only thing that is truth here is your name, Hey Lord who lives in the forest.
Rang main there rang gaye giridhar, chod dhiya jag saaraa, Ban gaye there prem se jogi, le ke man yek thara, O, Muje pyara theraa dham re, Banwari re.
Oh lifter of the mountain, in my colour, your colour got mixed up, I have left the entire world,
I became a Yogi because of my love towards you, taking in my mind the one stringed lute,
Oh Lord, I deeply like your residence, Oh Lord who lives in forests.
Darsan thera jis dhin pavoom, har chintha mit jaaye, Jeevan mera yin charanom mey aas ke jyoth lagaye, Om Meri Baamhein pakad lo, Shyam re, Banwari re
On the day that I am able to see you, all my worries would be powdered,
My life is on your feet, please light up my hopes,
Oh Lord Hold my arms, Oh Lord who is black, Oh Lord who lives in forest.
