TRANSLATION
1) I offer my respectful obeisances unto Hari, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna, the descendant of the Yadu dynasty, husband of the goddess of fortune and the killer of the demon Kesi, the protector of the cows, the pleaser of the cows, the supreme enjoyer, and the slayer of the demon Madhu. Chant the holy names "Radha-Govinda!"
 
2) Chant "Govinda! Govinda! Govinda!" Chant "Radha-Govinda!" Now that the waters of the spiritual master's mercy have extinguished the blazing fire of worldly existence, chant "Radha-Govinda!"
 
3) Offering body, home, family and all to Sri Krsna, chant "Radha-Govinda!" In a mood of unalloyed determination, [bad word] simple and straightforward in your heart, chant "Radha-Govinda!"
 
4) Drinking the water that has washed the feet of a Vaisnava who follows in the footsteps of [bad word] Goswami, chant "Radha-Govinda!" Giving up the ten offenses to the holy name, as well as the alluring [bad word] of material enjoyment and liberation, chant "Radha-Govinda!"
 
5) Making the dust from the feet of a gopi your only means of support, chant "Radha-Govinda!" Feeling relieved by living in Vraja in your eternal spiritual form, chant "Radha-Govinda!"
