Odhaa Hariye Evi Re Kidhi

Transcribed & translated by: Shree Pragjibhai Ladva

Odhaa Hariye Evi Re Kidhi, Paachhi Maari Shudh Na Lidhi Re,
Maaneti Koobjaa Kidhi Re...
Prabhaate Utthine Chaaltaa Odhaa, Maathde Letaa Maat,
Vaalo Vagaade Vaansari Amey Ponchtaa Raato Raat...
Premni Petimaa Pooriyaa Odhaa Taadaa Didhaa Tarat,
Oonde Kuve Utaariyaa Vaale Maathde Vaadhyaa Varat...
Kon Koobjaani Jaatdi Odhaa Kon Chhe Maane Baap,
Vadhaarine Vadlo Kidho Sindaraamaathi Eh Saap...
Kansni Daasi Koobjaa Kahiye Mediye Karti Moz,
Kaakraadiye Kodri Ene Unchi Besaadi Kamod...
Shaamre Vaane Shaamdo Odhaa Bhine Vaane Bhoop,
Aaj Sudhi Amey Jaantaa Odhaa Ujdu Etlu Dudh...
Saaraa Hataa Ene Saanstaa Kidhaa Raankne Sopyaa Raaj,
Kaye Madey Bhaatharno Swaami Range Ramaade Raas...


Gopi Is Telling Odhavji After Leaving Us, Hari (krishna) Has Not Enquired About Our Welfare
Now He Has Made Koobja His Favourite
Very Early In The Morning We Used To Walk With Milk Products On Our Heads
When Krishna Played The Flute, We Went To Him Even Though It Was Late At Night
Krishna Has Imprisoned Us In A Chest Of Love And Immediately Put The Locks On
After Lowering Us Into A Deep Well, He Has Cut The Rope From Above
From Which Family Does Koobja Come And Who Are Her Mother And Father
She Is Needlessly Being Patronised Like A Piece Of Rope Portrayed As A Snake
She Is The Servant Of King Kans Living Happily In A Mansion
Like Cheap Grains Containing Stones Being Given The Importance Of Expensive Rice
Gopis Say Bhoop (krishna) Has A Very Dark Complexion
Up To Now We Assumed That Everything White Is Milk
Krishna Has Treated Us Badly But Those Who Did Not Deserve, He Treated Them Like Royalty
Poet Bhaathar Is Longing To Meet His Master (krishna) To Play Raas With Him
