Gopala
Gopala Gopala
When I saw the dark clouds I wept oh Dark One
I wept at the dark clouds
Black clouds soared up
Took some yellow along
And the rain did fall
Some rain fell along
There was water East of the house
And water West of the house x2
And the fields were all green
Gopala Gopala
Da vakinanda na Gopala
The One I love lives past those fields
Rain has fallen on my body
Rain has fallen on my hair
As I wait in the open door
The energy that holds up mountains
is the energy I bow down too.
He lives centuries after centuries
Shyam gididara
Jai Vajarasi
Shyam gididara Jai mona morhan
And the test I set for Him He has past. |
