TRANSLATION

Refrain: Oh Hari! Please remove the sufferings of humanity.



1) You protected the honor of Draupadi by increasing the length of her cloth.



2-3) For the sake of Your devotee, You assumed the form of Nrsimhadeva. You killed Hiranyakasipu with Your fierce form.



4) You immobilized the alligator that endangered the feet of the elephant, Gajendra.



5) Oh darling Giridhara! I am only Your maidservant, Mira. Here and there, there is only suffering and pain. Therefore, Oh Hari! Please remove the sufferings of humanity.

Here is another wonderfull bhajan :Vaisnava janato:

He looks upon all with an equal eye. Having rid himself of lust, he treats and reveres every woman as his mother]
[His tongue would fail him if he attempted to utter an untruth. He does not covet another's wealth]
[The bonds of earthly attachment hold him not. His mind is deeply rooted in renunciation]
[Every moment he is intent on reciting the name of the Lord Rama. All the holy places are ever present in his body]
[He has conquered greed, deceit, passion (lust) and anger]
[He is the true Vaishnava who knows and feels another's woes as his own]
[Ever ready to serve others who are unhappy, he never lets vanity get to his head]
[Bowing to everyone humbly and criticising none]
[He keeps his speech, deeds and thoughts pure; blessed is the mother who begets such a son]

TRANSLATION

1) I have found, yes, I have found the wealth of the gem of chanting the Holy Name.


2) My true spiritual master gave me a priceless thing. With his grace, I accepted it.



3) I found the treasure of my several births; I have lost the whole rest of the world.



4) No one can spend it, no one can steal it. Day by day it increases one and a quarter times.



5) On the boat of truth, the boatman was my true guru. I came across the ocean of existence.



6) The Lord of Mira Bai is the Courtly Lord Giridhara, of whom I merrily, merrily sing His glories.

Where have you heard about her being  Lalita? That is not possible because Lalita appeared in the form of Svarupa Damodara Goswami during the pastimes of Lord Caitanya..yes Mirabhai is seen by many vaisnavas as a queen or Dvaraka...it is not clear ,fully what her mood was.  

[Paramananda das]

yes the  wikipedia says she thought she was Lalita,in what song ? She has   never sung this, it is a speculation...
