Post by ADA »

Hello,

I am trying to compose a dance piece on the Surdas composition "Hey Govinda Hey Gopala" in Raag Desh. Would really appreciate if someone could send me the lyrics and english translation to this beautiful song.

Thanks!

Very nice translation by Ravi!
This is one of the bhajans that we never miss out in the Kathas. As soon as the episode of Gajendra Moksha starts, the tunes of this bhajan are made to resound in the atmosphere.
is it also in Desh? I have only heard it in Malkosh and Misra Piloo. But Malkosh is the raga meant for this bhajan, I feel... :)
