Pallavi
To those who bow before the Lotus feet of Balakrishna.
Who is blessed , there are no problems.

Anupallavi
The pretty one who is like the blue cloud,
Who has a face like the moon, in which,
There is a divine grace in between his pretty smiles.

Charanam
He lives in Gokula and is a cowherd frequenting the shores of Yamauna in Brindavan,
He keeps on singing on his flute which bewitches the mind of Gopis,
He is the merciful one living in strong minds, removing their worries,
He is the strong one who lifted Govardhana mountain, to prevent the rain,
He is the greatly merciful one who pardons our mistakes,
And he is the one whose lotus feet is bowed to by Lord Brahma.
