English translation

Pallavi

Hey Govinda, Hey Gopala, uplift me,
Who is oppressed , greatly oppressed and a child.

Anupallavi

I am not suitable, I do not have great knowledge
I have only a medley of all that is turbid.

Charanam

I do not know Vedas, nor its applications,
I do not know meditation nor whom to meditate,
I do not mantras nor thanthras,
I do not know poems nor prose.
