This is a very famous and old stotra on Shri
Krishna. I heard it for the first time in the film 'Aagantuk'. Utpal Dutt was
reciting this stotra, the original voice was of Satyajit Ray's, I think. But
there the stotra remained incomplete as the next events of the film started
taking place. From then, I always wanted to listen the full stotra along with
reading it. Very recently I came to the audio track of the same and got the
lyrics on internet. It has 10 stanzas, written by Narottam Das.
Above the post I have given the vidoe of the song from YouTube, and here is the lyrics, and the English translation (which I got from the internet, credit goes to the original writer who posted the lyrics).
(1)Hari haraye namah krishna yadavaya namah
Yadavaya madhavaya kesavaya namah
(2)
Gopala govinda rama sri-madhusudana
Giridhari gopinatha madana-mohana
(3)
Sri-caitanya-nityananda sri-advaita-sita
Hari guru vaishnava bhagavata gita
(4)
Sri-rupa sanatana bhatta-raghunatha
Sri-jiva gopala-bhatta dasa-raghunatha
(5)
Ei chhoye gosair kori charana vandan
Jaha hoite bighna-nas abhishta-puran
(6)
Ei chhay gosai jar—mui tar das
Ta-sabara pada-renu mora pancha-grash
(7)
Tadera charana-shebi-bhakta-sane bash
Janame janame hoy ei abhilash
(8)
Ei chhay goshai jabe braje koila bash
Radha-Krishna-nitya-lila korila prakash
(9)
Anande bolo Hari bhaja vrindaban
Sri-guru-vaishnaba-pade majaiya mann
(10)
Sri-guru-vaishnaba-pada-padma kori aash
Narottama dash kohe nama-shankirtana
(1) O Lord Hari, O Lord Krishna, I offer my obeisances to You, who are known as Hari, Yadava, Madhava, and Kesava.
(2) O Gopala, Govinda, Rama, Sri Madhusudana, Giridhari Gopinatha, and Madana-mohana!
(3) All glories to Sri Caitanya and Nityananda! All glories to Sri Advaita Acarya and His consort, Sri Sita Thakurani. All glories to Lord Hari, to the spiritual master, the Vaishnavas, Srimad-Bhagavatam, and Srimad Bhagavad-Gita.
(4) All glories to Sri Rupa Gosvami, Sanatana Gosvami, Raghunatha Bhatta Gosvami, Sri Jiva Gosvami, Gopala Bhatta Gosvami, and Raghunatha dasa Gosvami.
(5) I offer my obeisances to the feet of these six Gosvamis. By bowing to them, all obstacles to devotion are destroyed and all spiritual desires are fulfilled.
(6) I am the servant of that person who is a servant of these six Gosvamis. The dust of their lotus feet is my five kinds of foodstuffs.
(7) This is my desire: that birth after birth I may live with those devotees who serve the lotus feet of these six Gosvamis.
(8) When these six Gosvamis lived in Vraja they revealed the lost holy places and explained the eternal pastimes of Radha and Krishna.
(9) Just shout the names of Lord Hari in great ecstasy and worship the transcendental realm of Vrindavana while absorbing your mind in meditation upon the divine feet of the spiritual master and the Vaishnavas.
(10) Desiring to serve the lotus feet of Sri Guru and the Vaishnavas, Narottama dasa sings this sankirtana of the holy names of Lord Hari.
Jai Shri Krishna.
