" indu enage shri govinda ninna padara
vimdava toro mukunda indire ramana "
Oh! Govinda! Show m your Lotus-like feet,today,Oh! Mukundha!
" Sundara vandanane nandagopana kamda
mamdaroddhaara aanamda indire ramana "
Oh! Govinda! Beautiful faced, Son of Nanda Gopa,
Spouse of Lakshmi,Joyed in Gokula!
" nondenayya naa bhavabandhanadolu siluki
munde dāri ganade kundide jagadolu
kandanamtem endenna kundugal enisade
tande kayo krushna kandarpajanakane "
I suffered immensely by the bondages of life
Now, I'm stuck in this world not knowing the path ahead
Oh! Krishna,Father of Brahma,Please save me
considering myself your son, discarding my mistakes!
" mudhatanadi balu hedijivananaagi
dhrudha bhaktiyanu na maadalillavo hariye
nodalillavo ninna padalillavo mahime
gaadigāra krushna bedikombenu swami "
Surrounded by fear and ignorance,I failed
to offer true devotion towards you,Sri Hari,
Sarati of Arjuna,I failed to see you through
the inner eyes,failed to praise your greatness,
Now, I realise and pray to you!
" dhaaruniyolu bhubhaara jiva nanagi
dāritappi nadede seride kujanara
aaru kayuvavarilla seride ninagayya
dhira venugopala parugaaniso enna "
Being a burden to this earth,I deviated
from the path of rightousness,joined the evil
company.Oh! Valiant Krishna!Venu Gopala!
There is no one to save me,I surrendered to
you! Please show me the right destination!
