Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda — A Prayer from the Road

[Intro — voice and acoustic guitar]

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda
Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda

[Verse 1]

O Lord Nityānanda, hear my cry,
Have mercy on a soul like me.
Lost and fallen, far from home,
Still I come and call to Thee.

[Refrain]

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda,
Premānanda sukhī,
Kṛpā-balokana koro,
Āmi boro duḥkhī.

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda,
Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda.

[Verse 2]

Give me shelter at Your feet,
Cool as moonlight on the ground.
In this burning world I’ve wandered,
Still no resting place I’ve found.

[Refrain]

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda,
Premānanda sukhī,
Kṛpā-balokana koro,
Āmi boro duḥkhī.

[Verse 3]

You are mercy without measure,
You give love to those in need.
Even one as lost as I am
May find shelter at Your feet.

[Instrumental — sparse fiddle answer]

[Verse 4]

Narottama has no possession,
Nothing worthy he can bring.
Only longing for Your mercy,
Only this one prayer to sing:

[Final Refrain — voice opens fully]

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda,
Premānanda sukhī,
Kṛpā-balokana koro,
Āmi boro duḥkhī.

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda,
Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda.

[Outro — almost alone]

Kṛpā-balokana koro…
Āmi boro duḥkhī…

Hā Hā Prabhu Nityānanda.
