Translation

Verse 1

His complexion is bright like an emerald mirror; to look upon each of his limbs is to be overwhelmed by Cupid himself.

Verse 2

She could not even lift her gaze, so overcome — her eyes turned red; so surely did the flower-arrows strike her.

Verse 3

This sakhi says, "I have met the son of Nanda" — yet now, in his absence, even the deep, intoxicating forest has become like burning sandalwood to her.

Verse 4

At that very moment the southern breeze turned adverse; she could not even bear to hear the name of the cooling moon.

Verse 5

On a natural bed spread with lotus petals, let the chaste young woman of good family go and take her place there.

Verse 6

There her mind remained fixed, her eyes held fast; patience and shame both fled far away.

Verse 7

What use is there in remaining alone with a troubled heart? Govinda Dasa says: go and meet Kanu.
