All glories, all glories to You
O Govinda expert at playing the flute
O Govinda whose restless love-filled eyes defeat the autumn lotus flowers
O Govinda who steals away the peaceful composure of the wives of the Siddhas and Caranas
O Govinda decorated with splendid jewel necklaces and earrings
O Govinda who stays on shining Govardhana Hill, which glistens with many pleasant lakes
O Govinda whose body decorates Your decorations
O Govinda who found and killed the bull-demon Aristasura
O Govinda who wears a peacock feather in Your shining, curling hair
O Govinda whose face is more radiant than a host of moons
O Govinda who enjoys amorous battle in a cottage in the forest grove
O Govinda whose arms are two bold snakes eager to enjoy the nectar joy of embraces
O Govinda who is like a moving young Tamala tree
O Govinda who sincerely and expertly fulfils all the desires of the cowherds,
O Govinda who holds a staff in Your right hand,
O Govinda whose splendour eclipses millions of suns and moons,
O Govinda who is decorated with handsome tilaka drawn with gorocana
O Govinda whose qualities delight Ananta Sesa, Lord Brahma, Sanaka and Sanandana
O handsome hero, please fill me with happiness!
Live rendition of this song on Janmastami 2021 in ISKCON Radhadesh
