Bhavayami Gopalam - Devotional

Bhavayami Gopalam - Devotional Lyrics & Chords

Song : Bhavayami Gopalam (Sanskrit)
Raagam : Yamuna Kalyani
Composed by : Annammacharya

My humble attempt of this kriti!

Thanks to Latha for furnishing me with the meaning. Here goes:

Bhavayami Gopala Balam …. Mana Sevitham ,
Tat padam chintayeyam sada
(This mind bows down in obescience to Gopala in his form as a little child and always contemplates on his lotus feet)

kati ghatitha mekhala , khachita mani ghantika
(Little Krishna is wearing a mekhala (ornament) on his hip which is studded with with jewels and mani’s)

Patala ninadena vibharaja manam
(he has a radiant charm ….and appears resplendent due to the tinkling of his ornaments)

kutilapada ghatitha samakula chintitenam
(he makes crooked and uneven steps and being the Lord himself ……
he is confused with his inability to make straight and proper steps)

chatula natanam samujala vilasam
(Even with his uneven steps , his unsteady gait resembles a graceful dance!)

niratakarakalita navaneetham
(butter overflows from his little hands as he walks,)

bramhadi ,suranikara bhavana shobhitapadam
(Lord Brahma, all the gods and humans have assembled on this auspicious occassion
to see the little lord ! )

thiruvenkatachala sthitam anupamam harim
paramapurusham gopala balam
(Annamaiyaa praises Bala Gopala as the unparalleled supreme perfect Lord who is an excellent actor and plays his role of a little child stealing the hearts of his devotees! )

This song has been my most fav from i don’t know when, ages i guess, so i’m very familiar with the minutest harkats. You’ve done an awesome job!!!
As mentioned above, the line “chatula natana” was superbly done and i loved all the sangathis too.This is the best cover i’ve heard so far. Thanks for covering it.

Very beautifully sung in your own style, Vidya… As Sowmya points above, many of us are only too familiar with this krithi and it sets very high standards, hard to replicate but not right to compare…
Liked it,
Sudha

Like the buttermilk flowing out of Krishna’s stolen pot! … all creamy, rich and smooth.

Your voice is Krishna’s gift to you and all of us.

God bless and let your voice churn many a tune out of your musically buttery pot!.

Just sat back and enjoyed it … opened my eyes only in a couple of spots where your enthusiasm overshot the musical graph … the rest of the time I was gently frozen to your sweet endearing voice.

Memerising rendition Vidya. Soothing to the core – kept me riveted all the way – sangathis @ Chatula Natana (2:58 & 3:05) needs special mention :-).
