Translation

Verse 1

O Radha, now abandon your sulking pride -- Krishna falls at your feet, entreating you.

Verse 2

Do not let your face grow dull, forsaking its beauty -- does the full moon ever rise dim?

Verse 3

Your lips, red as the bandhuli flower, and your sweet smile -- do not make them despondent with long, heavy sighs.

Verse 4

Your restless eyes are like a pair of wagtail birds -- do not let the coiled serpent of a frown remain before them.

Verse 5

What use is so much anger at me? My faults are already known to the whole world.

Verse 6

Without the nectar of your words no one can live -- why do you show me the thunderbolt of your pride?

Verse 7

Govinda Dasa cherishes this one hope in his heart: that your mind's desire for sulking pride will at last be given up.
