Dehachi Tijori
Dehachi tijorii, bhaktichach theva
This body is a safe for devotion only
Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva
Open the door, Lord, please open the door
Pite doodh dole mituni, jaat manjarachi
The cat’s nature is to drink the milk with her eyes closed
Mani chortyachya ka re bhiti chandanyachi
Why is there fear of moonlight in the heart of the thief?
Saravalya hatannahi kampa ka sutava
Why do expert hands tremble when they do something wrong
Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva…………
Open the door, Lord, please open the door
Ujedaat hote punya, andharaat paap’
Good deeds are done in daylight; evil, always in the darkness
Jyache tyache hati aahe kartavyache maap
Everyone has the measure of responsibility in his own hands.
Dushta durjananchi kaisi ghade lokseva
How can evil people do community service
Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva…………
Open the door, Lord, please open the door
Swarth janu bhintivarcha aarasa bilori
Greed is like the tricky mirror on the wall
Aapulich pratima hote, aapulich vairi
Its our own reflection, and is our own enemy
Ghadoghadi apradhaancha tol savarava
From time to time the crime must be balanced
Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva…………
Open the door, Lord, please open the door
tujhya hati panduranga tijori tutavi
This safe should be broken by your hands O Krishna
Muktapane bhakti majhi tujhi tu lutaavi
Freely you should loot me of your devotion
Marga tujhya raulacha, mala haa kalava
I should understand your way of enlightenment
Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva…………
Open the door, Lord, please open the door
Bhalepansaathi koni bure pana kela
To do a good deed, sometimes people do bad things,
Bandhanat asuni vela jagi mukta zala
Though they are bound by earthly desires, without their knowledge they are free.
Aapulyach saukhyalahii karil to heva
A person will also envy his own happiness
Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva….
Open the door, Lord, please open the door
