TRANSLATION

(Refrain)

Krsna , who is the Lord of the poor and meek and the hero that vanquished Kaliya , stays in a kadamba tree’s shade on the Yamuna’s

banks.

 

(Lord Krsna says:) How many girls of Vraja have I seen? Still, this one girl is splendid like a garland of unmoving lightning flashes,

 

O friend Subala , I tell you: from that moment I no longer know whether it is day or night.

 

In that place were two or four beautiful girls splendid like glistening jewels. But only one of those girls cast a spell on My heart.

 

I keep that girl in my heart. My heart is filled with the smoke of Kamadeva’s flames. Lost in the smoke, I cannot see the directions.

 

Moment after moment I am rapt in thinking of this girl. I know nothing but Her. I am overcome by the fever of separation from Her.

 

Day after day my body becomes more thin and emaciated. Govinda

dasa says: These are the signs of new love.

 

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

This song is sung in Raga Gandhara .
