First of all let me thank you for this blog; It has been long while when I last heard this ...
It is bhajan(Indian devotional song)in sanskrit language for Lord Krishna - one of very popular figure in Hinduism. Very playful, practical and colorful personality.
For you to understand/appreciate significance of this song, you would need to read and understand alot about vedic religion or atleast about Krishna.
This video is playing a very small stanza somewhere in the middle of actual song. It is more like telling various life incidents of Lord Krishna, in form of a song.
Anyway I am writing lyrics from what I understand and its meaning:
In Vraja-dhama(place where krishna spent his childhood), Krishna was playing with his playmates - the shepherd boys of his age who protected the animals. With great love, Mother(of Krishna) Yasoda called out to her own son, “O Govinda, Damodara, Madhava!” (different names for krishna)
