Sridama Sudama Dama Suno Ore Balarama
śrīdāma sudāma dāma, śuno ore balarāma,
minati koriye to sabare vana gata ati dūra,
nava tṛna kuśāṅkura gopāla loiyā nā yāiho dūre
"Listen, O Sridama, Sudama, Dama and Balarama! I beg you all: Don't take Gopala too deep into the forest, where there are new Kusa -sprouts and fresh grass!"
sakhā-gaṇa āge pāche, gopāla koriyā mājhe,
dhīre dhīre koriho gamana. nava tṛnāṅkura āge,
rāṅga pāya nāhi lāge, prabodha nā māne māyera mana
"Keep Gopala always in between the cowherd boys, who should walk before and behind Him, and walk slowly. Take care that His reddish lotus feet are not injured by fresh grass and sprouts! Don't you care about mother's worries?"
gopāla āmāra parāṇa putalī tomāre saṁpiyā rāma,
kichui sandeha nāi tamu prāṇa koroye vyākulī
"O Gopala, puppet of my heart! I place You in Balarama's care, so there is nothing to worry about, but still my heart is filled with anxiety!"
