Translation

Verse 1

He, my greatly beloved, is by nature so heedless — how then will he ever come to know my pain?

Verse 2

I wish to go to him, yet my resolve breaks down; I cannot bear these surging waves of separation.

Verse 3

O sakhi, why has Kana ignored me so? I do not know — my mind, all afire, feels ready to leave me.

Verse 4

Among all the sakhis, you are the wisest one — what clever counsel could I possibly teach you?

Verse 5

Knowing my such deep longing, for this very reason I have offered my life at your feet.

Verse 6

Now you devise some plan, so that my union with Kanu may come free of all obstruction.

Verse 7

If, while still living, I am able to meet Kana, then, says Govinda dasa, I shall forever sing your praises.
