Translation

Verse 1

When, overwhelmed with bliss, will I directly serve the lotus feet of the Divine Couple? O Lord Hari, Lord Hari, when will I attain this?

Verse 2

When will I become a bumble-bee staying continually at the lotus feet of the Divine Couple, and continually drinking the honey of those lotus feet?

Verse 3

This is my desire---to join the company of the gopi-frineds of the Divine Couple. O my master, by your mercy only can my desire be fulfilled.

Verse 4

For many days I have desired in this way. Please be merciful to me and fulfill my request.

Verse 5

Yearning and hoping in this way, Narottama dasa weeps day and night. Please be merciful to me, and make me your follower and gopi-maidservant.
