TRANSLATION

Refrain: Oh Govinda, the Lord of the Cows! Oh Gopala! Oh Merciful Lord! Oh Young Darling Boy! Oh Krsna!

 

1) You are the Lord of our orphaned souls. You are the redeemer of the fallen souls.

 

2) Oh Lord of infinite power and glories! You are the redeemer of the soul covered in Maya and attachment.

 

3) In the veil of darkness which is very dangerous, you are the redeemer and the lord of the life of Guru Nanak.
