(Refrain)
varaya turnam imam sakhi krsnam
anucita-karmani nirmita-trsnam
 
(1)
pulakam upaiti bhayan mama gatram
hasasi tathapi madad ati-matram
 
(2)
jane bhavatim eva vipaksam
mam upanita yad vana-kaksam
 
(3)
adya sanatanam ati-sukha-hetum
na pariharisye vidhi-krta-setum
 
 
Refrain: Friend, hold Krsna 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.
