The butter thief, the heart's delight.
Govinda, Govinda, Gopala, Gopala,
He, the butter eater, cries, "Mother!"
"Mother, I did not, no, I did not eat it."
"No, no, I did not eat the butter."
Surdas, Surdas spoke to Shyam,
Surdas spoke to Shyam,
And what sweet lies were born.
"No, no, I did not eat the butter."
"Mother, I did not, no, I did not eat it."
