Abeer Gulal Udhalit Rang (with lyrics) |Sant Chokhamela | by H.G. Gaur Gopal Prabhu

Abeer Gulal Udhalit Rang
Sant Chokhamela

Lyrics (Marathi) :
अबीर गुलाल उधळीत रंग ।
नाथा घरी नाचे माझा सखा पांडुरंग ॥१॥

उंबरठ्यासी कैसे शिवू आम्ही जाती हीन ।
रूप तुझे कैसे पाहू त्यात आम्ही दीन ।
पायरीशी होऊ दंग गावूनी अभंग ॥२॥

वाळवंटी गावू आम्ही वाळवंटी नाचू ।
चंद्रभागेच्या पाण्याने अंग अंग न्हाऊ ।
विठ्ठलाचे नाम घेऊ हो‌उनी निसंग ॥३॥

आषाढी कार्तिकी भक्तजन येती ।
पंढरीच्या वाळवंटी संत गोळा होती ।
चोखा म्हणे नाम घेता भक्त होती दंग ॥४॥

English lyrics and translation:

Abeer Gulaal Udhalita Rang
Natha Ghari Naache Maajha Sakha Pandurang

Amidst the fragrant colourful powder strewed in the air, 
Panduranga who is my master as well as my friend is dancing at Eknath’s house. 

Umbartyaasi Kaise Shivu Aamhi Jaati Heen
Roop Tujhe Kaise Paahu Tyaat Aamhi Deen
Paayarishi Hovu Dang Gaavuni Abhang

How can I even dare think of touching you even from a threshold? As belong to a very low caste. 
If I want to look at you, how can I dare to do it? As I am a downtrodden and lowly person. 
I shall at the best stand by your doorstep transfixed singing abhangs.

Vaalvanti Jaavu Aamhi Vaalvanti Nachu
Chandrabhagecha Paanyaane Anga Anga Nhaavu
Vithalache Naam Ghevu Hovuni Nissang

Lets go to the banks of Chandrabhaga and sing and dance there. 
Lets bath wholly in the waters of Chandrabhaga. 
Lets chant the name of Vithala and dissociate ourselves from everything.

Aashaadi Kaartiki Bhakta Jana Yeti
Pandharichya Vaalvanti Sant Gola Hoti
Chokha Mhane Naam Ghethaa Bhakta Hoti Dang

The devotees throng Pandharpur for the festival in the month of Aashad and Kartik.
All the saints will gather in the riverbanks of Chandrabhaga at Pandharpur. 
Chokha says all the devotees are in a trance while singing the name of the lord.
