Ode To Krishna Janamashtami
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
You make our hearts blissfully restless
We are fondly waiting for your birth
The entire universe is singing and
Every soul is dancing with joy
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
Every flower is smiling in bliss
Every bird is singing a song
Hare Krishna Hare Murari
Please come soon Muddu Mukunda
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
Our eyes are desperate to see you
We are decorating your cradle and
Making a garland of Kanakambar for you
Oh Mohana, when will you come dear
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
Even the breeze is singing this chant
Hey Krishnaa… Hey Muraaree…
Hey Yamuna theera Vihaari…
Gopi manasa haari… Hey Shoureee…
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
Nanda Nandana, you Shree Krishna
You are our comrade Shree Krishna
You are the incarnation of Lord Ram
You are the core theorist of our Vedanta
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
You appear before us when we call you
You reside in those hearts that love you
You fulfill everyone’s desires for sure
You are our Purushottama Shree Krishna
O’ our beloved Bala Gopal
You are the real breath of Hanuman
And Hanuman is your real servant
We are requesting humbly your patronage
Please come to listen to our plea
