Lagan Tose Laagi Re Damruwale

Chorus

Lagan tose laagi re Damruwale

My heart is attached to you, O Damru-player

Damruwale bhole bhale

Simple, innocent Damru-player

Shivshankar matwale

Intoxicated Shivshankar

Jai Nageshwar jayati Chandradhar

Victory to Nageshwar, moon-bearer

Jaya Shiv Gangadhari

Victory to Ganga-bearing Shiva

Haath trishool hai damru aala

Trident in hand, damaru sounding

Ang bhasma Tripurari

Ash-smeared Tripurari

Darshan kar le moorakh manwa

Take darshan, O foolish mind

Bigadi apni bana le

And mend what you have spoiled

Dhyan mein mere Shiv ki murat

In meditation — Shiva's form

Dhyan mein Shiv ka shivaala

In meditation — Shiva's temple

Shiv par hi mere man ko bharosa

My mind trusts only Shiva

Shiv hai deendayala

Shiva is kind to the lowly

Jiska nahi hai koi jag mein

Whoever has no one in the world

Uske Shiv rakhwale

Has Shiva as guardian

Shiv se ho kalyaan jagat ka

From Shiva comes the world's welfare

Shiv se shrishti saari

From Shiva all creation

Shiv bhakton ke Mahadev hain

Mahadev of Shiva's devotees

Jan jan ke hitkaari

Benefactor of every soul

Bhavsagar mein dagmag naiya

When the boat rocks in the ocean of becoming

Shiv ji use sambhale

Shivji steadies it

Damru baja ke Shiv ji ne jab

When Shivji played the damaru

Apni jata lehrayi thi

And shook his matted locks

Parvati ne Shiv ke gale mein

Parvati placed the wedding garland

Var maala pehnayi thi

Around Shiva's neck

Wah ratri Shivratri ban gayi

That night became Shivratri

Manwa Shiv gun gaa le

O mind, sing Shiva's glory
