Lyrics –

Braj chaurasi kos mein
(It takes 21 kilometers of walking to go around Braj one time)

Govardhan nij dham
(This is Govardhan! The holy place!)

Bhgagat parikrama de rahe
(devotees of Krishna come here to walk around Govardhan)

Inke pooran hoyein sab kaam
(They seek blessings upon their work. The ritual makes their wishes come true)

Braj mein shri Govardhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)

Lage mohe ati ko pyaaro hai
(I love this place)

Braj ko pehlo dev humaaro
(The God of Braj is our beloved)

Iccha puran karive baaro
(He grants the wishes of his devotees)

Shri giriraaj talati vaaro
(He is Giriraj Maharaj from Talhati)

Jag se nyaro ho
(He is different from the rest of the world)

Braj mein shri Govardhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)

Lage mohe ati ko pyaaro hai
(I love this place)

Braj mein shri Govardhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)

Giri van vriksh nadi van deva
(Mountains, forests, trees, rivers are all gods)

Sab mil chalo kare hum sewa
(We should all come together and worship them)

Din gareeb sabhi jan ko yahi saharo hai
(The lives of beggars, saints and brahmins relies on our Gods )

Vipra bulaya ke yagya karao
(Call the brahmins and do fire rituals)

Dan Dakshina vastra gahao
(Give them, fees and clothes)

Lagan lagaye deo parikamma, gariyan charo hai
(All the sadness will vanish if you make rounds around Giriraj and feed the cows)

Braj mein shri Govardhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)

Lage mohe ati ko pyaaro hai
(I love this place)

Braj mein shri Govardhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)

Aur nahi koi braj mein pooja
(There is no other ritual to perform in Braj)

Aur dev nahi koi dooja
(There is no other God to be worshipped)

Lagan lagaye deo parikamma, hoye nistaaro hai
(All you work will be successful if you make rounds around Giriraj with all your heart)

Braj mein shri goverdhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)

Lage mohe ati kau pyaaro hai
(I love this place)

Braj mein shri goverdhan dhaam
(The holy place Govardhan is in Braj)
