Translation

Verse 1

She has made her braid heavy with kunda flowers; on her breast shines a pearl necklace.

Verse 2

Her lovely body is anointed with sandal and camphor; limb by limb she is filled with Cupid's power.

Verse 3

The moonlit night has brightened the fair one; she goes to meet Hari, filled with the passion-rich mood of that secret meeting.

Verse 4

She wears white ornaments and white garments; her body moves, blended into the whiteness of the moonlight.

Verse 5

So that the eyes of her own household are deceived, she moves like a painted doll, wandering lost in the depths of passion.

Verse 6

Her desire now fixed, her steps unstoppable — what can the thorny obstacles of family and elders do to hold her back?

Verse 7

Her very form is an embodiment of adornment, her speech full of love — she has met him in the bower, says Govinda Dasa.
