From the world wide web:

Govinda Jaya Jaya Gopala Jaya Jaya  
= All glories to Govinda (the Supreme Lord) All glories to Gopala (the Supreme Lord as a boy tending a herd of cows)

Radha Ramana Hari Govinda Jaya Jaya     
= All glories to Radha Ramana (Lord krishna who takes away all material attatchments of devotees)

 Nrsingadeva Jaya Nrsingadeva Gaura Gaura Gaura Hari     
= All glories to Nrsingadeva (Krishna when he adopts a lion's head and a human's body to protect devotes from demons) and all glories to Gaura Hari (The Golden Supreme - Krishna when he appeared near Bombay in the sixteenth century as Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabu)

Gaura Hari Prabhupta Govinda     
=The Golden Supreme, The Hare Krishna Movement, The Supreme Lord.

Sanskrit's a fascinating language. One word can often have several different meanings which can make translation tricky. Some of the sages took advantage of these double (or quintuple :-}) meanings to make their scriptures work on several levels simultaneously.

Just to make things even more interesting, many Hindus believe in one universal force which can manifest itself as several different Gods simultaneously. Govinda, Gopola, Nrsingdeva (along with all he protects us from) and Gaura Hari are all different aspects of the same thing.

Of course, Govinda is also within and without each of us. (A nod to George)



Thank you, that is nice

I was going to ask if anyone knew the translation... thanks for posting. I tried an online translator but it couldn't even offer one word. The lyrics are cool - we are God, God is us. No division.

Another first for me at RP. 
That's a rather interesting song and sequence and series of tracks.  Indian raga hooked into Pearl Jam, after Cracker and before Oasis. Don't try this on that FM dreck, folks. I think I'll see it's on iTunes. 

I heard L.A. radio just lost it's main classic rock station to Christian radio. Ouch.

I knew a woman who would cry like a jungle bird as she went into orgasm: ''Aiya aiya aiya aiya aiya aiya.''
Thanks for the memory.

it was sweet seeing his mom and his aunt (Hayley and Juliet Mills) on this show  BBC's (on Netflix)
"Wild At Heart" about a British vet and his family that moves to South Africa. It's a sweet show, nice for kids and my dogs love it. Lots to bark at.

Isn't this the song at the beginning of "Inside Man"?  Different arrangement, though, more intense.  I check in with the first 10 minutes of that move whenever I can, just to see the photog, and hear this piece.
