Govinda Show them to me oh! Mukunda How charming your face! The son of Nandagopa! The support to mandara, Oh! Ananda, the Bhagavan of Indira Caught in the net of life and death Wreathed in pain of agony most Enveloped in darkness, not finding the path I Fell into dejection killing most Like a child strayed away from path Like a father, loving, not minding my lapses Save me Oh! Krishna, the father of Kama In ignorant infatuation How cowardly behaved I I did not tied with firm resolution My mind in loyalty to you, bowed not, I And to sing in supplicant songs Left all attempts to seek you, oh! Elusive magician! I became a burden to myself and to others Strayed far from the path and joined the sinful None to save me from this maelstrom Now I come to you for succor Oh! Noble Venugopala
