Original Marathi from the Tukaram Gatha · About Sant Tukaram
॥
मराठी मूळ
चला वळूं गाई । बैसों जेऊं एके ठायीं ॥१॥
बहु केली वणवण । पायपिटी जाला सिण ॥ध्रु.॥
खांदीं भार पोटीं भुक । काय खेळायाचें सुख ॥२॥
तुका म्हणे धांवे । मग अवघें बरवें ॥३॥
Tukaram Gatha (Marathi Wikisource)
English Translation
Come, let us round up the cows and sit down together to eat in one place. We have wandered far too much; our feet are sore and our bodies are weary. The load is heavy on our shoulders and hunger gnaws at our bellies; what joy is there in play on an empty stomach? Says Tuka, run now, and then everything will be well.
We ask forgiveness for any inaccuracies in rendering Tukaram ji’s original Marathi.
