Translation

Verse 1

Today Radha appears newly playful with dark Krishna, her whole body served by hundreds of Cupids; her loveliness cannot be described.

Verse 2

Defeating the orb of the autumn moon, her lotus face blossoms; when dark Krishna, the stealer of hearts, mingles at her lips, her laughter steals the mind.

Verse 3

Bees swarm about her, having drunk their fill of honey from the bakula flowers she wears; all her ornaments make a soft, sweet jingling sound.

Verse 4

On her lotus feet, jewelled anklets echo the cry of the khanjana bird; her toenails, like Cupid's own mirror, dazzle -- so sings Govinda Dasa.
