Please listen to the under noted audio link for a awesome Hindi Bhajan sung by Sri. Pandit Jasraj in raag 'Ahir bhairav' in his devotional album 'Vrindavan'. " Krishna Krishna Borhi Mukh Bolo" bhajan song is composed by Shree. ' Kavi ' Narayan Agarwal, popularly known as " Das Narayan "

The audio link is < http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBWQRmmj_SI >
I have made an attempt to note the lyrics after listening the song, but may need some corrections. I wish some rasika in our forum can favor me with the correct Lyrics. Thanks.

Krishna ..........................chaliyaam sudhAyee
ManDa manDa krishna pavan daalee har shaayee
Naraayan [prabhu] krishna Japo shyam charan hOlo

P.Bala - I heard Jasraj-ji a few times - the word he says seems to be "bhOrahi" rather than "bhojahi" (according to your correction) which doesn't make sense to me.

It seems to me the song says :
Let the mouth utter the name of Krishna Krishna as soon as day breaks or from early morn itself - "bhOr" is early morning that starts at brahma-muhurta, "hi" is as soon as.

I hope Krishnaa sees this post and listens to the audio to confirm. rshankar can also check.

I also don't know where the "sister-in-law" came from in the interpretation. There are some other doubts as well.

Sorry, it is a typo!
And you are right. 'bhOrahI' is the correct word.
(The words I had corrected are in colour.)

here's the hindi script I found on the net :

कृष्ण: कृष्ण: कृष्ण: भोर ही मुख बोलो

कृष्ण: नाम जपन करि के नदिया लहराई

गगन कृष्ण: लालिमा उपवन तरुणाई

कृष्ण: कृष्ण: धुनि गावो

अधर मधुर खोलो

कृष्ण: कृष्ण: बोलो…

कृष्ण: की कलियां मुस्काई

मन्द मन्द कृष्ण: पवन डाली हर्षाई

नारायण कृष्ण: जपो…

कृष्ण: कृष्ण: कृष्ण: कृष्ण:…

नारायण कृष्ण: जपो

श्याम शरण हो लो

नारायण प्रभु कृष्ण: जपो

nArAyaNa krSNa japO SyAma carana hOlO

The word is sharan from the Hindi text given above.

nArAyaNa krSNa japO SyAma carana hOlO = Recite the names Krishna & Narayana and become integrated with his holy feet ( achieve salvation ) ;

With the word sharan - chant the names of Narayana, Krishna...and take/gain shelter/succor of Shyam (by surrendering to him)

Here is my trial, this bhajan depicts the morning environment as completely involved in SrI kRSNa.

kRSNa KRSNa kRSNa bhora hI mukha bolo
Recite(bolo) the name of kRSNa from your mouth(mukha) in the dawn hours(bhora).

kRSNa nAma japan kari ke nadiyA laharAI
The river(nadiyA) flows(laharAI) in joy and appears as if it is chanting(japan) the name(nAma) of kRSNa.

gagana kRSNA lAlimA upavana taruNAI
The redness(lAlimA) of the skies [due to the sun rising] and the gardens (upavana) full of trees (taruNAI) - all respresent different aspects of kRSNa.

kRSNa kRSNa dhuni gAvo
Sing(gAvo) again and again the melodious chant(dhuni) of kRSNa's name.

adhara madhura kholo, kRSNa kRSNa bolo
Open (kholo) your lips (adhara) sweetly (madhura) and say (bolo) the name of kRSNa.

kRSna kI kaliyAn muskAI
The flower buds (kaliyAn) of kRSNa smile (muskAI) sweetly.

manda manda kRSNa pavana DAlI harSAyI
The twings(DAlI) swing in joy (harSAyI) as the swiftly blowing (manda manda) breeze (pavana) comes forth.

nArAyana kRSNa japo, Syama Sarana ho lo
chant the name (japo) of nArAyana kRSNa and take (ho lo) refuge (Sarana) in the dark-hued (Syama) kRSna.

Thanks a lot, Krishnaa. Good job. The only point I'd differ is on "mand mand" as gentle breeze :) the double emphasis on mand mand would translate to soft, gentle breeze, something you'd associate with the early morning hours in the mood and setting for this poem, as you have rightly stated.

Sri V. K. Raman, you might want to re-post the correct version of the lyrics with the corrected translation on youtube, else it will be misguiding readers.

My pleasure, Shyama and VKR anna! The meaning of mand mand is correct as Shyama describes it. Thanks for the video! Will surely take a look at it!

Well,

My translation was obviously based on PB's lyrics wherein, Bhojahi = ( elder ) sister-in-law ; caran = holy feet. Sharan = shelter or refuge.
