Chitta Chora Yashoda Ke Bal Navaneeta Chora Gopal 
Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana dhara Gopal 
Gopal Gopal Gopal Gopal Govardhana dhara Gopal
Meaning
O Lord Gopala (Krishna), the beloved Prince of Mother Yashoda, You are the captivator/stealer of the hearts of devotees, their Chitta, the spiritual Heart which is the seat of consciousness. You are the stealer of butter, i. e. hearts of the Gopis (devotees). Chant the name of Gopala, the one who protects the cows or tends the cows as a cowherd. Chant the name of the Govardhanadhara Gopal, who held aloft the mountain Govardhana to protect the villagers against the torrential rain.
