 STANZA 1

 DAY BY DAY, THE WOMEN GREW MORE AND MORE FASCINATED,

 BY YOUR DARK HANDSOME BODY WHICH

 BLOOMED LIKE A BUNCH OF CLOVE FLOWERS,

 AND WHICH IS THE BLISSFUL SELF ITSLF OF ALL THE WORLDS

 STANZA 2

 OVERCOME BY CUPID'S ARROWS,

 THE GIRLS COULD NOT STAND

 EVEN YOUR GOING TO THE FOREST

 IN EARLY MORNING HOURS, MY LORD

 STANZA 3

 WHEN YOU DEPARTED, THE GIRLS,

 LOOKING TOWARDS THE FOREST,

 SPENT TIME HAPPILY TALKING

 ABOUT YOUR SEVERAL SUPERHUMAN DEEDS

 STANZA 4

 WHEN YOU REACHED THE FOREST,

 STANDING WITH ONE LEG OVER THE OTHER,

 YOU BLEW THE FLUTE AND FILLED

 THE PLACE WITH SWEET SOUNDING

 STANZA 5

 THEN RESOUNDED YOUR FLUTE,

 WHICH OVERWHELMED WITH LOVE THE DANCING GIRLS OF HEAVEN,

 NOURISHING THE GOOD, WASHING AWAY THE BAD

 MELTING EVEN THE ROCKS, MY LORD

 STANZA 6

 THINKING OF YOUR STAND WITH,

 FINGERS MOVING DEFTLY OVER THE FLUTE ORIFICES

 AND YOUR FEET IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RYTHM,

 THE GIRLS WERE STUNNED TO STILL ESS IN FULL ATTENTION THEN

 STANZA 7

 THE DANCING GIRLS OF HEAVEN,

 ENVIED THE BIRDS, DEER, COWS

 AND EVEN THE FOREST

 TROD BY YOUR FEET

 STANZA 8

 AND, AGAIN AND AGAIN, FELT MISERABLE,

 SAYING, ' WILL WE ONCE BE ABLE,

 TO DRINK THE JUICE LEFT OVER

 FROM THE FLUTE AFTER YOUR PLAY

 STANZA 9

 DAY BY DAY, THE GIRLS

 BECAME CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT TO DO,

 BECAUSE OF THE GREAT LOVE FOR YOU,

 FANNED BY THE GOD OF LOVE

 STANZA 10

 LOVE USUALLY COMES BY INSTINCT TO ALL

 THE WAY TO MOKSHA MAY WITH EFFORT COME OR NOT COME,

 HOW LUCKY WERE THESE GOPIES INDEED!
