Sundari Tuya Lagi Sambadala Kana

sundari tuya lagi sambadala kana biraha-ksina tanu anukhana jarajara aba ithe bidhi bhela bama

O beautiful girl, Krsna talks about You. Separated from You, His body has become emaciated. At every moment He is distraught. Fate is tormenting Him.

canda nehari candane tanu lepana tapa saha-i na para dhabala nicola baha-i na para-i kaiche karaha abhisara

He gazes at the moon. He anoints his limbs with sandal paste. Still He cannot tolerate the flames of His fever. He cannot wear His white shawl. How can he meet with You?

yatanahi megha mallara alapa-i timira parana gati ase a-ota jalada tatahi udi ya-ota utapata diragha nisase

Wishing to hide in the darkness, He plays the alap of Raga Megha Malhara on His flute. As the clouds come and go, He deeply sighs.

tuya guna nama gana japi jiba-i bahu pulakayita deha gobinda-dasa kaha iha aparupa naha yaha iha naba naba leha

He sings of Your virtues. It is only by chanting japa of Your name that He lives. The hairs of His body stand erect. Govinda dasa says: These symptoms are not surprising. Are they not the signs of new love?
