TRANSLATION
(Refrain) O Radha! O lover of Madhava! O You who are worshiped by all the young girls of Gokula! All glories unto You! All glories unto You!
1) You dress and decorate Yourself in ways which increases Lord Damodar love for You! You are the Queen of Vrindavana, which is the pleasure forest of Lord Hari (Krishna)!
2) O new moon that has arisen from the ocean of King Vrsabhanu! O friend of Lalita! O You who make Visakha loyal to You due to Your wonderful qualities of friendliness, kindness, and faithfulness to Krsna!
3) You who are filled with compassion! You whose divine characteristics are described by the great sages Sanaka and Sanatana!
O Radha, please be merciful to me!
