 STANZA 1

 I VISUALIZE YOU AS DRESSED FOR THE OCCASION

SWAN TAIL FEATHER SWINGING ON YOUR HEAD,

EARRINGS MOVING TO AND FRO,

WEARING PRETTY NECKLACES AND FLOWER GARLANDS

AND GOLDEN GEMMED ANKLETS ON YOUR FEET,

 STANZA 2

THEN THE GIRLS DONNED ORNAMENTS,

TIED BREASTS TIGHTLY IN BLOUSES,

EARRINGS SWINGING TO AND FRO ON THEIR CHEEKS,

ASSEMBLED ON THE YAMUNA BANK, AND STOOD IN CIRCLES,

 WHILE YOU WENT THROUGH THEM ROUND AND ROUND ALTERNATELY

 STANZA 3

 MANY DEVAS, HEARING ABOUT IT FROM NARADA,

 CAME, OUT OF CURIOSITY, TO SEE,

 ALONG WITH HEAVEN'S DANCING GIRLS,

 DRESSED IN ALL FINERY, AND STOOD IN THE SKY

 STANZA 4

 MAY WE ALWAYS WORSHIP YOU IN THE ATTIRE SUITED FOR THE OCCASION,

 FEET MOVING IN CONSONANCE WITH THE RYTHMIC MOVEMENT OF THE SONG,

 IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RISING AND SINKING PITCH,

 BANGLES CLINGIING AT WRIST, ARM RESTING ON SHOULDER

 STANZA 5

 ALL THE DEVAS AND THEIR WIVES

 WHO HAD ASSEBLED IN THE SKY,

 ALMOST FAINTED, AS IF THEY MERGED

 IN YOU, WHO IS PURE CONSCIOUSNESS,

 STANZA 6

 ONE GIRL, SWEATTING AND TIRED,

 RESTED HER HEAD ON YOUR SMOOTH SHOULDER

 ANOTHER KISSED STEALTHILY YOUR ARM

 COVERED WITH SANDAL WOOD POWDER

 STANDARD 7

 STILL ANOTHER, LEANT TO WARDS YOU,

 AND WITH NECKLACE OUT PLACE,

 SHE SUCKED ARECANUT JUICE, ENJOYED

 AS IF IT WERE VERILY NECTAR INDEED

 STANZA 8

 THE MUSIC CAME TO AN END GRADUALLY,

 THE INSTRUMENTS STOPPED, THE GIRLS ALONE

 CONTINUED DANCING, EVEN THE STARS

 STOOD STILL SUSPENDED IN THE SKY

 STANZA 9

YOU HAPPILY PLAYED WITH THE GIRLS IN YAMUNA WATERS

COOLED BY LIGHT BREEZE AND CARRYING THE SCENT OF FLOWERS,

 WHOM YOU OVERWHELMED WITH VARIOUS KINDS OF PLAY

 AND WITH GREAT TENDERNESS,

 STANZA 10

 KRISHNA, WHO CAN BE SEEN

 ONLY BY THOSE DEVOTED TO YOU,

 GAVE THEM AN EXPERIENCE OF THE GREAT JOY

 OF LIBERATION

SAVE ME FROM MY ILLNESSES, I PRAY
