Lyrics
[Intro — solitary piano] Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu… [Verse 1] This human life was given to me, Yet Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa I did not serve. Knowing it, hearing it, still I chose To drink the poison with my own hand. [Refrain] Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu. Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu. [Verse 2] The treasure of love from Goloka Has come as Hari’s holy name. Why has no love awakened in me? Why have I no longing for that name? Day and night my heart is burning In the poisoned fire of this world. Still I have not taken the remedy, Still I have not cooled this burning heart. [Refrain] Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu. Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu. [Verse 3] The Son of Vraja’s king became Śacī’s Son, Lord Caitanya. And Balarāma came among us As Nityānanda, as Nitāi. All the fallen, all the helpless He delivered through Hari’s name. Jagāi and Mādhāi bear witness— They stand as witness to His grace. [Instrumental — piano] [Verse 4] Hā Hā Prabhu, Son of Nanda, With Vṛṣabhānu’s daughter beside You, This one time, have mercy on me. This one time, have mercy on me. Narottama Dāsa is calling: Do not push me from Your reddish feet. Other than You, who do I have? Other than You, who is mine? [Final Refrain] Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu. Hari Hari! Biphale janama goṅāinu. [Outro] Tomā bine… Ke āche āmāra? Hari Hari…
