Translation

Verse 1

His body is gold. His face is a lotus flower. Loudly He chants "Hari! Hari!" From His lotus eyes a celestial Gaṅgā of tears flows down His conchshell neck.

Verse 2

Look! Look at Lord Gaura the king of the brāhmaṇas! Surrounded by His companions He stands at the crest of Navadvīpa.

Verse 3

Overcome with ever-new ecstatic spiritual love He dances day and night with restless reddish feet. The tears from His merciful eyes flood the world with their deep dark waters.

Verse 4

Sometimes He dances. Sometimes He sings. Sometimes He speaks broken words. Every person in the world He has plunged int the flood of ecstatic spiritual love. Only Govinda dāsa was not plunged. Only he was cheated.
