Playing Holi with Gopal________________________

O’ Giridhar Gopal

Holi is here in Braj Bhoomi

With the onset of the spring
In its singular bloom at once

Looks delightful the entire universe

Brought glories for Braj Bhoomi

Sets stage for your Holi Leela

Clapping hands show his joy

O’ Giridhar Gopal

Holi is here in Braj Bhoomi

Colorful patterns emanating

Divine music is there on your flute

Drums are beating around

Joyous sounds are blowing

Braj ladies cute already know

You are in a playful mood

O’ Giridhar Gopal

Holi is here in Braj Bhoomi

Come around us with your

Saffron Tilak and sandal leps

Vaijayanti Mala in your neck

And your hands full of Gulala

To throw on our faces and figures

And drench us with your Pichkari

O’ Giridhar Gopal

Holi is here in Braj Bhoomi

All around fragrance flows

Our eyes evolve to see you Krishna

And let us color you in full

With infinite spectrum of colors

Let us dance sing and melt

Into the love of Paramatma

O’ Giridhar Gopal

Holi is here in Braj Bhoomi

Hey, dark complexioned Mohan
When playing Holi with you
Clouds of colors zoom high
And the Braj Bhoomi gets flooded
With the flow of your boundless love

Geetika feels the bliss in your company
