Lyrics
gopīnāth, mama nivedana śuno viṣayī durjana, sadā kāma-rata, kichu nāhi mora guṇa
gopīnāth, āmāra bharasā tumi tomāra caraṇe, loinu śaraṇa, tomāra kiṅkora āmi
gopīnāth, kemone śodhibe more nā jāni bhakati, karme jaḍa-mati, porechi soṁsāra-ghore
gopīnāth, sakali tomāra māyā nāhi mama bala, jñāna sunirmala, swādhīna nahe e kāyā
gopīnāth, niyata caraṇe sthāna māge e pāmara, kāndiyā kāndiyā, korohe karuṇā dāna
gopīnāth, tumi to’ sakali pāro durjane tārite, tomāra śakati, ke āche pāpīra āro
gopīnāth, tumi kṛpā-pārābāra jīvera kāraṇe, āsiyā prapañce, līlā koile subistāra
gopīnāth, āmi ki doṣe doṣī asura sakala, pāilo caraṇa, vinodá thākilo bosi'
Translation
O Gopinatha, Lord of the gopis, please hear my request. I am a wicked materialist, always addicted to worldly desires, and no good qualities do I possess.
O Gopinatha, You are my only hope, and therefore I have taken shelter at Your lotus feet. I am now Your eternal servant.
O Gopinatha, how will You purify me? I do not know what devotion is, and my materialistic mind is absorbed in fruitive work. I have fallen into this dark and perilous worldly existence.
O Gopinatha, everything here is Your illusory energy. I have no strength or transcendental knowledge, and this body of mine is not independent and free from the control of material nature.
O Gopinatha, this sinner, who is weeping and weeping, begs for an eternal place at Your divine feet. Please give him Your mercy.
O Gopinatha, You are able to do anything, and therefore You have the power to deliver all sinners. Who is there that is more of a sinner than myself?
O Gopinatha, You are the ocean of mercy. Having come into this phenomenal world, You expand Your divine pastimes for the sake of the fallen souls.
O Gopinatha, I am so sinful that although all the demons attained Your lotus feet, Bhaktivinoda has remained in worldly existence.
