Oh Madhava (Lord Krishna), you are the Lord of the Yadava dynasty, protect me

Maadhava Maamava Devaa

Oh Madhava (Lord Krishna), protect me

Maadhava Maamava  Devaa         

You are a support to all saints. Oh Madhava the source of all thoughts, please protect me. 

(Charanam)

Ambuja locana kambu shubhagreeva

Your eyes are like lotus petals and your neck is like a shell
Bimbaadharaa chandra bimbaananaa      

Your lips are red like ripe Bimba(Indian fruit) and your face is beautiful like the moon
Caampeya naasaagra  sarva sumowdhika 

Your nose is sharp like the Plumeria(Champa flower) adorned with shining pearls.

Taaraka  chandrajanita madana        

The pleasant moon of the autumn season is arousing amorous feelings.
