    1 The grove-dwelling on the banks of Rādha-kuṇḍa,
    Govardhan mountain, the banks of River Jamunā;
    00:00:33
    kusuma-sarovara, mānasa-gaṅgā
    kalinda-nandinī vipula-taraṅgā
    2 Kusuma-sarovar lake, Mānasa-gaṅgā river,
    The rolling waves of Jamunā, daughter of the sun;
    00:01:14
    vaṁśīvaṭa, gokula, dhīrasamīra
    vṛndāvana-taru latikā-vānīra
    3 Place of the Rāsa dance, and Gokula, the gentle breezes,
    The trees, vines, and Vetasa palms of Braja;
    00:01:33
    khaga-mṛgakula, malaya-bātāsa
    mayura, bhramara, muralī-vilāsa
    4 The birds and animals, the sweet air of spring,
    The peacocks, bumblebees, the flute’s sweet song;
    00:01:53
    veṇu, śṛṇga, padachihna, meghamālā
    vasanta, śaśāṅka, śaṅkha karatālā
    5 Flute, horn, His footsteps, range of clouds in the sky,
    Season of spring, the moon, the conch, hand-cymbals;
    00:02:13
    jugala vilāse anukūla jāni
    līlā-vilāsa-uddīpaka māni
    6 I know all these things are nourishing the Pastimes of the Divine Couple,
    I can feel they arouse the holy Pastimes of the Lord;
    00:02:32
    e soba choḍata kā̐hā nāhi jāu̐
    e soba choḍata parāṇa hārāu̐
    7 I can never leave all these things so dear to me,
    Without them I know I’ll surely die;
    00:03:11
    bhaktivinoda kohe, śuno kāna
    tuyā uddīpaka hāmārā parāṇa

    8 Hear me, O Kāna, says Śrī Bhaktivinoda:
    You are the only light of my life.
