I do not know who is the author. Judging from the transcription that you

gave, assuming that it is correct, it looks like Bengali to me. Bengali,

because the whole thing seems to be a series of vocatives, and the word

'prabhu' would be the vocative form in Bengali. In Sanskrit it would have to

be 'prabho'. There is also one word which you might have misspelled,

'kanahyalala'. This is also a name of Krsna. It appears in the Hindi

dictionary as 'kanhaiya'. 'Lal(a) is also a suffix used to turn words into

vocative. It also means 'darling', 'boy', 'child', etc..

 

One is calling out to the Lord, addressing Him as, "O Govinda, o Gopala, o

Kesava, o Madhava, o You who are merciful to the poor, o Master, o Merciful

to the poor, o Merciful to the poor, o Master, o Merciful to the poor, o

Syamasundara, o Lovely little boy (kanhaiyalal), o Lifter of the Govardhana

Hill, o Darling of Nanda-Maharaja, o Merciful to the poor, o Master, o

Merciful to the poor, o Merciful to the poor, o Master, o Merciful to the

poor, o Acyuta, o Kesava, o Sridhara, o Madhava, o Govinda, o Gopala, o

Hari!
