Lyrics
(Refrain) vāraya tūrṇam imaḿ sakhi kṛṣṇam anucita-karmaṇi nirmita-tṛṣṇam
(1) pulakam upaiti bhayān mama gātram hasasi tathāpi madād ati-mātram
(2) jāne bhavatīm eva vipakṣam mām upanīta yad vana-kakṣam
(3) adya sanātanam ati-sukha-hetum na parihariṣye vidhi-kṛta-setum
Translation
Refrain: Friend, hold Krishna back. He thirsts to do something wrong.
(1) Out of fear the hairs of My body stand erect. Still, you proudly laugh at Me.
(2) I know you are My enemy because you have brought Me here to the middle of this forest.
(3) I shall not abandon the eternal rules of morality, which are the source of great happiness.
