English translation

 

Pallavi

 

The song, the song of Krishna, Oh Krishna,

Should be heard if two ears were created.

 

Anupallavi

 

Oh Madhava, Oh killer of Madhu, Oh leader of yadus, Oh bewitcher of the world,

For  becoming proud  in devotion of the  silence of divine joy which gives wisdom,

At least  for a  very little time  our mind should  melt completely.

 

Charanam

 

What if the wisdom without principle exists or does not exist,

What if the job without Dharma which makes us understand,

That this entire world is simply filled  with Hari  exists or does not exist,

What is the use of talking or not talking words that are not true,

What is the use of doing or not doing penance of our own body,

What is the use of singing or dancing , the songs without devotion,

Oh Krishna who is the Bhagawatha story  told by the very detached Sukha.
