|പല്ലവി|

കൃഷ്ണാ ഹരേ ജയ... കൃഷ്ണാ ഹരേ ജയ

ശ്രീ ഗുരുവായൂരപ്പാ ഹരേ  

|ചരണം-1|

നേറു കൈയിൽ ഓമൽ തിരുമുടിയോടെ

വടിവൊടു നീല പീലികളാലെ

ഗോപികുറിയായ് ശോഭിതനായി

തവ മന മോഹന സുന്ദര രൂപം

(കൃഷ്ണാ ഹരേ ജയ..)

|ചരണം-2|

പുഞ്ചിരി തൂകും ചെഞ്ചുടുകളും

കുസൃതി കുഴികൾ വിരിയും കവിളും

പാലിൻ മണവും വെണ്ണ ചിരിയും

പറയുവതെങ്ങനെ  ഉണ്ണികണ്ണാ  

(കൃഷ്ണാ ഹരേ ജയ..)

|ചരണം-3|

മണി മാലകളും മഞ്ഞ പട്ടും

മധുരം പൊഴിയും വേണുവുമേന്തി

മനസ്സിൽ ഉള്ളിൽ തെളയണം എന്നും

മധുരാദിപതേ മണിവർണ്ണാ

(കൃഷ്ണാ ഹരേ ജയ..)

|Pallavi|

Krishna Hare Jaya... Krishna Hare Jaya

Summary :   This devotional hymn is a gentle, sweet offering focused entirely on Lord Krishna in His beloved childhood form (Unnikannan). The song is directly addressed to Him as Shree Guruvayurappan, the presiding deity of the famous Guruvayur Sri Krishna Temple in Kerala. Through vivid imagery, the verses adore His enchanting appearance—adorned with peacock feathers, yellow silk (Manja Pattu), gemstone garlands, and His sweet flute. It fondly captures His playful childhood charm, from His dimpled cheeks and milk-scented smile to the sacred sandal paste (Gopi Kuri) on His forehead. Ultimately, the hymn expresses a loving prayer for this enchanting form of Guruvayurappan to shine forever within the devotee's heart.
