Lord Krishna

O my Lord! O my Krishna!
Krishna! Krishna!

You are the embodiment of love
you are the divine joy,
you are protector of the religion
all pain and sin, you destroy.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Wicked and cruel king Kansa
put your parents in prison.
You released them from jail
appeared as Vishnu’s incarnation.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

As child you led cow herds
had great love for your mother
Grown with magic of your flute 
as hero loved by peers and others
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Kansa sent sinful Putana to kill you
by feeding breast’s poisoned milk.
She herself was met to her end
you sucked blood, failed her trick.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

He was desperate to kill my Lord
So he sent many other demons.
You defeated all of the demons
killed his wicked men one by one.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

Supported villagers and the cattle,
lifted mountain to make it shelter,
You killed poisonous snake in river
where cattle used to drink the water.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

You blessed, who followed the truth
taught Arjuna lessons of truth and war.
You turned  result of Mahabharat war
into the victory of righteous Pandwas
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!

You come on earth again and again
to save it; in various incarnations.
Without you my Lord! I am nothing
in this universe, nothing can happen.
O my Lord!  O my Krishna!
