English translation

Pallavi

The song, the song of Krishna, Oh Krishna,
Should be heard if two ears were created.

Anupallavi

Oh Madhava, Oh killer of Madhu, Oh leader of yadus, Oh bewitcher of the world,
For becoming proud in devotion of the silence of divine joy which gives wisdom,
At least for a very little time our mind should melt completely.

Charanam

What if the wisdom without principle exists or does not exist,
What if the job without Dharma which makes us understand,
That this entire world is simply filled with Hari exists or does not exist,
What is the use of talking or not talking words that are not true,
What is the use of doing or not doing penance of our own body,
What is the use of singing or dancing , the songs without devotion,
Oh Krishna who is the Bhagawatha story told by the very detached Sukha.
