Translation

Verse 1

Hearing Kṛṣṇa's flute-music, seeing His wonderful picture, and hearing His virtues from the people's mouths, I find that I have fallen in love with Him. With the other gopīs, I wildly run to Him.

Verse 2

Not considering household duties, piety, or sin, and not allowing anyone to stop me, I go to meet Kṛṣṇa.

Verse 3

Going to the Yamunā's bank, I ask the gopīs for news of my beloved. Following the command spoken by the flute's melody, I spurn all fear for my life and enter the forest.

Verse 4

As a river very strongly runs to the ocean, so this beautiful, sweet, saintly girl strongly runs into the forest. Finding Lord Kṛṣṇa, she offers herself to Him.

Verse 5

Why does my weak pen no longer move? As I begin to describe this meeting, my heart trembles.

Verse 6

My heart does not move to describe the meeting, enjoyment, separation, or anything else about these lovers.

Verse 7

As swine cannot appreciate a string of pearls, so the unfortunate people cannot understand the Lord's rāsa-dance pastimes.

Verse 8

Considering the benefit of persons who are not qualified to hear of these things, and understanding that the time is not right, I end my kīrtana here.
