कायेन वाचा मनसेंद्रियैर्वा बुध्यात्मना वा प्रकृति स्वभावात्
Kayen Vacha Manasendriyairva Budhyatmana Va Prakruti Svabhavat
From the Bhagavata Purana (11.2.36). Whatever I do with my body, my speech, my mind or my senses, with my intellect or my feelings, or simply out of the habits of my own nature.
https://greenmesg.org/stotras/vishnu/kayena_vaca.phpThis line is the first half of one verse and only completes with the next line.

करमि यद्यत् सकलं परस्मै नारायणायेती समर्पयामि
Karami Yadyat Sakalam Parasmai Narayanayeti Samarpayami
All of it, without exception, I offer up to the Supreme, to Narayana. This is the closing half of the Bhagavata Purana verse begun in the previous line.

अच्युतं केशवं राम नारायणम् कृष्णदामोदरं वासुदेवं भजे
Achyutam Keshavam Ram Narayanam Krushnadamodaram Vasudevam Bhaje
The opening of the Achyutashtakam, which is simply a chain of names. I worship Achyuta the Infallible One, Keshava, Rama, Narayana, Krishna, Damodara and Vasudeva.
https://greenmesg.org/stotras/krishna/achyutashtakam.phpContested reading. The stotra text ends this half with 'vasudevam harim', while the sung aarti version here ends 'vasudevam bhaje'. Both are in circulation.

श्रीधरं माधवं गोपिकावल्लभम् जानकीनायकं रामचंद्र भजे
Shridharam Madhavam Gopikavallabham Janakinayakam Ramachandra Bhaje
The same verse continues. I worship Shridhara who bears Lakshmi, Madhava, the beloved of the cowherd girls, and Ramachandra the lord of Janaki.

हरे राम हरे राम राम राम हरे हरे हरे कृष्ण हरे कृष्ण कृ्ष्ण कृ्ष्ण हरे हरे
Hare Ram Hare Ram Ram Ram Hare Hare Hare Krushna Hare Krushna Krushna Krushna Hare Hare
This is the maha-mantra, first recorded in the Kali-Santarana Upanishad. It is not a sentence to translate but a repeated calling of three names, Hare, Krishna and Rama.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hare_Krishna_(mantra)The order of the two halves varies by tradition. The Kali-Santarana Upanishad begins with 'Hare Rama'; the ISKCON order begins with 'Hare Krishna'.

मंगलमुर्ती मोरया
Mangalamurti Moraya
Mangalmurti is a title for Ganesha meaning the one whose form is auspicious. The crowd calls it out as the aarti ends.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sukhakarta_Dukhaharta -
गणपतिबाप्पा मोरया
Ganapatibappa Moraya
Ganpati Bappa Morya, roughly 'Father Ganpati, Morya', is the standard call and response shout that closes Ganesh worship and the Ganesh Chaturthi festival.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MoryaContested. The common explanation that 'Morya' invokes the devotee Morya Gosavi is folk tradition widely repeated on devotional sites but not stated by the encyclopedic sources checked, so it is deliberately left out of the gloss.
