This sweet Gujarati bhajan is like a private conversation between the devotee and God and is often taught to children when they are young, a bit like a shared secret.
Hu Tari Bolavu Jai…Prabhu Mari Khabar Tu Le Aato Tari Mari Beni Vaath Che, Koi Treejo Na Jaanile
God I will praise you, please take care of me
This is just between me and you, no one else should know Maari Vaani Avi Chur Rahe, Jo Tu Sanghate Rahe Hoji Ho…Mane Taaro Ishaaro De, Mari Vata Tu Kane Lahe Mane Pagal Banavyo Te…Taru Sharnu Swikaryu Me
If you're with me my speech will remain pure, send me a sign and hear my plea,
hearing your praises I've become crazy about you, I am now under your protection
Hu Tari Bolavu Jai…Prabhu Mari Khabar Tu Le Aato Tari Mari Beni Vaath Che, Koi Treejo Na Jaanile
God I will praise you, please take care of me
This is just between me and you, no one else should know about it
Maare Jagnu Dhevu Che, Vrat Sewaa Nu Levu Che Hoji Ho…Pade Kashta Ne Sahevu Che, Koi Ne Nav Khevu Che Tari Saathe Rehevu Che, Mane Faave Tevu Che
I want to give back something to this world, taking a promise of service to others
I will bear all the pain I encounter, not wanting to share with anyone else, It suits me to remain with you
Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Sita Ram,
Radhe Shyam, Radhe Shyam, Radhe Shyam X 3
Mane Punit Thaava De, Tara Gunlaa Gaava De Hoji Ho…Mane Eva Laava De, Jema Satya Kamaava De Jya Kaava Dhava Che, Ram Bhakta Na Java De
By singing your praises let me become purified
Let me partake and enjoy deeds of truth
Where there is adharma (wrong doing) let me refrain from indulging
Hu Tari Bolavu Jai…Prabhu Mari Khabar Tu Le Aato Tari Mari Beni Vaath Che, Koi Treejo Na Jaanile
God I will praise you, please take care of me
This is just between me and you, no one else should know about it
Sita Ram, Sita Ram, Sita Ram,
Radhe Shyam, Radhe Shyam, Radhe Shyam
Shiva Om, Shiva Om, Shiva Om
Jalaram, Jalaram, Jalaram
