We Are Like That

We are like that-yes we are like what you say! Call us depraved by love, we will still serve our loved Damodar. We are like that-yes we are like what you say! Our minds were once preoccupied in the worldly matters Now, absorbed in Hari's nectar, it wanders door to door singing! We are like that-yes we are like what you say! The customs and rituals, we heartily dislike And even that which gives us all the worldly riches Can't be compared to ourlord! We are like that-yes we are like what you say! We are indeed base, baser than the basest in the world! Say what you will; we are neck-deep in his love! We are like that-yes we are like what you say! I, Narsaiyyo, am a man of base deeds, for I love Vaishnavas Who ever distances himselves fromhari j ans has wasted his birth! We are like that-yes we are like what you say!
