TRANSLATION

  1. O my dear sakhi , who is that person who first made Me

hear this name “ Syama ”? When it enters My heart through My ears, I become overwhelmed with impatience.

 

  1. I donÂ’t know how much sweetness fills this name. It is so sweet that My

tongue will not leave it for a moment. As I go on repeating this name, I become completely absorbed. O sakhi , how will I ever be able to meet Him?

 

  1. If that personÂ’s name alone has the power to put Me in such a condition, I cannot even imagine what My condition would be if I were to touch His body. Wherever He stays, how can the young women maintain their religious principles?

 

  1. In My heart I want to forget Him, but I cannot. Now I cannot understand what is the remedy, what to do. Dvija

Candidasa says, “Simply by displaying His youthful beauty, that Syamananda

has destroyed the whole dynasty of young cultured ladies.”

 

REMARKS/EXTRA INFORMATION:

The first word of the song can be changed to “ sai .”
