English translation

 

Pallavi

 

Hey Govinda, Hey Gopala, uplift me,

Who is oppressed , greatly oppressed and a child.

 

Anupallavi

 

I am not suitable, I do not have great knowledge

I have only a medley of all that is  turbid.

 

Charanam

 

I do not know Vedas, nor its applications,

I do not know meditation nor whom to meditate,

I do not mantras nor thanthras,

I do not know poems nor prose.
