A Prayer to Lord Krishna
Oh! so enchanting is Thy Name, Kanna
You ‘d so joyfully tricked Yasoda Mayya
With Thy most endearing blissful play
Lord of Vridavan, residing in the Heart of All.
Kindly, listen to the Prayer of mine
Ushh…, a li’l trembling baby of Thine
Clasping me in Thy lovely Hands
Save me from the birth of rounds.
Never forget this li’l tender one
Toddling an’ stepping to the Divine
Lo! fallen as I am in this worldly ocean
Having unbearably miserable passions.
Bless me be born wherever Thou art
Make me ever play with kids of Cowherd
Darling of Nanda, I crave to play with Thee
For Thine Love, Beauty, Bliss are ever mine.
