The below explanation is divided into parts based on how it is sung, post reading this request you to please listen to the song and relate to its meaning given below.

Meaning of Bhaja Govindam Song: [according to stanza’z Sung]

Oh Fool Worship Lord Govinda for his kindness and love on you. – oh Fool oh fool

Worship / Seek / Pray  Govinda till the last second of your life until you reach to the last second of your breath , these utter praises of this false world will not save you, only Govinda can save you.

Oh Fool never be in the False world filled with Desires and never be a slave to your desires, Give those up and pray Govinda, remove this thirst from your heart for desire.

Occupy your mind only and only Good and holy & Healthy Thoughts, and always be filled with  content and only react to through the actions of past.
As long as you have the ability to earn money and wealth you will be attached to your dependents,

once your body and soul becomes old and you wander with your inability to move at home no one cares to speak a word with the old soul

Hence never take pride in your possessions or wealth which comes from people when you are Young and when you  have wealth with you
Time Changes everything and takes away all that which you have at the moment

As Govinda says, Please free your self from this false world of illusion and from the world of “Maya” and attarin the truth of timelessness

One who Shelters in Temples and sleeps under the Trees by wearing a deer skin and who rest on the naked ground, thus will renounce all the ideas of attachement along with possession.

For whom this indifference will not bring happiness ?

Read a little pieces of Bhagavad Gita or atleast take few drops from River Ganga and worship the lord Krishna [murari] atleast once and hence you will have no quarrel with Lord Yama [the god of Death]

As said in Bhagavad Gita, birth and Death are the two things which are bound to happen, Rebirth, Re death and rebirth will happen

Samsara is the toughest path to corss, Save me oh Lord Krishna / murari with your infinite Kindness

Regularly Read few stanzas from the Bhagavad Gita, continuously perform meditation, Fill your heart with Lord Vishnu by chanting his glories he will come to rescue you.

Only take pride in the noble and holy Causes and share your wealth with the needy in this world

Wealth would only stay for some time in life and there is no joy in it, reflect on this ideal truth in your entire life.

With the wealth even a rich man with un imaginable wealth has to fear with his own son, this is the cruelty of having wealth and it is the way

By worshipping Lord, may your be pass through Samsara in all well fashion

It can only happen through continous efforts to control your mind and training your senses, only though which you can fill your heart with lord and purify your soul
