நீயே என் தாயே
மனமொன்றி கேளடி
மாயன் உன் கண்ணன்
விளையாட்டு ஜாலங்கள்
பால் சுவைக்கும் சின்ன கள்வன்
அவனே யசோதையின்
கோபால பாலன் கிருஷ்ணனே
You alone are my mother,
Listen to me with a focused mind,
Your Krishna is a magical illusionist,
His tricks are all playful games,
The little thief who relishes milk,
He is Mother Yasodha's
Gopala Balan, Lord Krishna.
