Translation

Verse 1

Ah! Lord Gaura's graceful glorious form defeats the yellow campaka flower and the golden mountain. His long neck has grace without end. His graceful gestures charm the world's hearts.

Verse 2

Glory to Śacī's son! The three worlds bow befor Him. He breaks into pieces all fear of the black Kali-yuga snake.

Verse 3

The hairs of His body stand erect. His heart is overcome with ecstatic spiritual love. He gently gently smiles. He speaks broken words in a choked voice. How many celestial Gaṅgās of tears flow from His eyes?

Verse 4

Tasting the nectar of love for a person who is actually His own self He dances. Overcome with ecstasy His eyelids begin to close. How many devotees assemble there and sing? Overcome every resident of the earth's circle now floats in the nectar of ecstatic love. Only Govinda dāsa cannot touch that nectar.
