Kesara chandan tilak viraje, mukut viraje sheesh

2. Murali bajave bansuri madhur, sabko mohne wale

3. Pitambar peet vastra sobhit, vanmala tan pyari

4. Shyam sundar gopala nandlala, gopangan ke praan

5. Mor mukut banmaali dharata, nainan mein prem umange

6. Vrindavan mein ras rachata, sab bhakta mann harata

Krishna’s forehead glows with saffron–sandal paste tilak, and a shining crown adorns His head.

He plays the sweet flute, enchanting the hearts of all beings.

Dressed in yellow garments, with a forest garland on His chest, His form shines with graceThe dark-hued beautiful Gopala, darling son of Nanda, is the very life of the Gopis.

A peacock feather decorates His crown; in His eyes overflows divine love and playfulness.

In Vrindavan He enacts divine sports (rasa lila), stealing the minds of all devotees.
