Translation

Verse 1

On account of deep separation, she passes the whole night awake, waiting for it to dawn.

Verse 2

She does nothing but meditate upon you; without you she is utterly distraught.

Verse 3

Mistaking the cool yellow shawl for you, she gathers it into her lap and embraces it.

Verse 4

Not obtaining the touch of that love, she falls fainting, rolling upon the ground.

Verse 5

Within her mind, waves of passion again and again overwhelm her body.

Verse 6

She speaks only in a voice choked with feeling — Govinda Dasa could not fully convey it.
