Now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal,
now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal.

Wrapped in robes of lust and rage,
a garland of victory choking my throat,
now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal,
now I dance, I'm weary.

The anklets of delusion chime,
chimes of slander's poison,
the mind, a whirlpool of confusion,
marches to a disjointed beat,
now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal,
now I dance, I'm weary.

Within the vessel, a captivating sound,
a captivating sound,
a sound to be dismissed in myriad ways,
bound by the thralldom of illusion,
consumed by greed, O brother,
now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal,
now I dance, I'm weary.

A darkness of countless eras appears,
I lose all sense of earth and water,
I lose all sense of earth and water,
Surdas's ignorance, all of it,
remove it, O Nandlal,
now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal,
wrapped in robes of lust and rage,
a garland of victory choking my throat,
now I dance, I'm weary, I'm weary, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal,
now I dance, I'm weary,
so weary, O Gopal.
