Refrain: Beautiful one, look! As the day comes to an end the eternally playful Lord who wears a garland of forest flowers comes before us.

His garland of blossomed lotuses is flooded with dust raised by the cows. His complexion is splendid as a host of suddenly blossomed blue lotuses.

He delights you with the sweet muse of His flute. His sidelong glances are waves. His eternal form is handsome. He is charming. He stays with His friends.
