TRANSLATION

Refrain: All obeisances to You, O Ghana-syam!

 

1) Taking refuge at Your lotus feet, I fearlessly implore You – this time, O Hari, give me Your mercy! I shall cross the ocean of sorry by the boat of Your holy name.

 

2) O Lord, we are always asleep, while You are ever awake. Every moment we can only make errors, our eyes being covered by illusion.

 

3) Please remove this covering, my Lord, so I may behold Your form as the Divine Couple, with Sri Radha by Your side. I will gaze at You until my hankering eyes are pacified, thus fulfilling my soul’s desire. O Ghana-syam! I offer this prayer unto You!
