Govinda Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Duddits 

Cover art for Govinda lyrics by Kula Shaker

The song is a traditional song from India about Sri Krishna (Krsna) the 8th avatar of Vishnu. Although I cannot read/understand sanskrit i'm familiar with some of the words. Govinda and Gopala are both words relating to Krsna's childhood on a farm. I believe Govinda translates into something like the "God of Cows" and Gopala is something similar. "Jaya" means roughly "Glory be to". Radha was Krsna's partner (the most important of many).
