ke go a-i gaura-baraṇa bāṅkā bhuru bāṅkā nayana cina cina cina yena kari e-i nā se nandera gopāla yaśodāra jībana dulāla ā-ila kari gopīra mana-curi
Translation

Look! Look! Look! Who is this person with a fair complexion, with curved eyebrows and eyes with crooked glances? He cannot be Nanda's gopa son. He cannot be Yaśodā's beloved son. He cannot be the boy that robbed the gopīs of their hearts.

śire chila mohana cūḍā ebe māthā kaila neḍā kaupina parila dhaḍā chāḍi gopī-mana mohanera tāre mohana-baṁśī chila kare ebe se ha-ila daṇḍa-dhārī
Translation

In the past His hair was glorious. Now His head is shaved. Now He wears a kaupīna and a sannyāsī's garments. In the past He charmed the gopīs' hearts. In the past He played charming melodies on his flute. Now He carries a sannyāsī's daṇḍa.

nīpa-taru-mūle giyā adhare muralī laiya rādhā-nāma karita sādhana ebe suradhunī-tīre bāhu duṭī ucca ka're sadā-i karaye saṅkīrtana
Translation

In the past He sat under a kadamba tree, placed the flute to His lips, and played melodies that were actually songs chanting Śrī Rādhā's name. Now He stands by the Gaṅgā's banks, raises His arms, and always sings in saṅkīrtana.

nabīna nāgara sāje gopī-saha kuṇja-mājhe karita ye bibidha bilāsa ebe pāriṣada saṅge nāma yāce dīna-beśe se-i e-i kahe kānu-dāsa
Translation

In the past He was the teenage hero of amorous pastimes. In the past He enjoyed many pastimes with the gopīs in the middle of the forest. Now He wears the garments of a sannyāsī. Accompanied by His companions, He begs everyone to accept the chanting of Lord Kṛṣṇa's holy names. Kānu dāsa speaks these words.
