TRANSLATION

1) Glories! All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Rasa-bihari! Oh Destroyer of troubles, and Deliverer of Auspiciousness, those who see You will get happiness!

 

2) I will always remember Your lotus feet. Please shower me with pure bhakti and destroy all of my distress.

 

3) By receiving Your holy name, I have received everything. I dance and dance at Your gateway renouncing all attachments.

 

4) Please awaken my love, and take my mind to Vrndavana where you can perform the rasa lila. Please awaken my heart and fill it with pure knowledge.

 

5) In the forest with earrings, with a flower garland, with a crown adorned on His head, Radha and Syamol , The Divine Couple, makes the devotee’s mind go ecstatic.

 

6) I will always sing kirtana and perform arati for Your pleasure. All Glories to Sri Sri Radha Rasa-bihari, the destroyer of the ocean of nescience.

 

7) By the mercy of Srila Prabhupada, I have given up materialism. I offer all and surrender to the Lotus Feet of my true spiritual master, Srila Prabhupada.
