barajo rī, laṁgara kara barajorī
Original pad by Jagadguru Shri Kripalu Ji Maharaj
English meaning
Launching a love-laden complaint against Shyāmasundara to her friend, a maiden of Braja says, “Somebody stop Shyāmasundara from behaving unbecomingly with me by force. This Naughty One rubs the very cheeks of the maidens of Braja on the pretext of applying gulāla on them. Sometimes He breaks their pearl-chains, and sometimes their pitchers. He is so shameless that on being abused, He says, ‘Oh Beloved! Revile Me again. You and I make an excellent pair!’ Moreover, when I complain about Him to Mother Yashodā, oh God!, she says, ‘You girls are intoxicated with the pride of youth.” Jagadguru Shrī Kripālu Jī says to the gopī, “Who will believe in what you say when Shyāmasundara is only five-year-old at present?”

barajo rī, laṁgara kara barajorī
gālana lāla-gulāla malana misa, gālana lāla malata gorī
kabahuṁ mori motina-lara torī, kabahuṁ mori gāgara phorī
gārī suni kaha ‘puni de pyārī! bhala jorī morī torī’
maiyā soṁ kaha, so kaha daiyā! ‘tuma saba jovana-mada borī’
kaha ‘kripālu’ ko sāṁchu māna jaba, lālā pāṁcha barasa ko rī
