భావయామి గోపాలబాలం మన
సేవితం తత్పదం చింతయేయం సదా
కటి ఘటిత మేఖలా ఖచిత మణిఘంటికా
పటల నినదేన విభ్రాజమానం
కుటిల పద ఘటిత సంకుల శింజీతేన తం
చటుల నటనా సముజ్జ్వల విలాసం ... భావయామి
నిరత కర కలిత నవనీతం బ్రహ్మాది
సుర నికర భావనా శోభిత పదం
తిరువేంకటాచల స్థితం అనుపమం హరిం
పరమపురుషం గోపాలబాలం … భావయామి
ragam : yamuna kalyani
Bhavayami Gopalabalam
I meditate upon the Baby Gopala, Who is served by my mind. I always meditate on those feet.||1||
I meditate upon the Baby Gopala, Who is glittering forth due to immense rhyming sound coming from jewel and bell studded waist girdle, and Who is shining forth trembling dances adorned by the sound of feet running in curved trajectories.||2||
I meditate upon the Baby Gopala, Who is engrossed in the beautiful new butter-ball in His hand, Whose feet are adorned by the various devoted emotions of Brahma and demi-gods, Who is situated at the mountain of Tirupati¹ as Venkat, Who is without a comparison, Who is Hari, and Who is the best person.||3||

Thank you for posting in Telugu and Devnagari too! and also thanks for posting the meaning. Here are some typos that I noticed in the Telugu version... first charanam, second line... it is "ninadeNa" not "ninadeVa"... third line of the same charanam... it is "pada ghatitha" not "ghaNtitha". In the second charanam, "brahmadi" should appear in the first line itself... otherwise the praasa would not be correct. Thank You.
