Kanu Katha Suni Gadagada Bhasa
Song 27
kānu-kathā śuni gadagada bhāṣa milati sahacarī rā-ika pāśa
After hearing Krsna speak broken words in a choked voice, the gopis approached Radha.
kahatahi sahacarī śuna bara gora
tuyā lāgi hālata nanda-kiśora
The gopis said: O beautiful fair girl, please listen. Nanda's son trembles with love for You.
tuyā rūpa nirakha-i taru de- i
kora hera-ite galatahi locana-lora
Thinking it is Your beautiful form, He embraces a tree. Tears stream from His eyes.
yaba nahi sundara karabi payāna
taba jī -u tejaba nāgara kāna
If You do not go to Him, the hero Krsna will give up His life.
saha-i nā pāra-i madana-hutāśa
cāmara ḍhulāyata gobinda-dāsa
He has no power to bear Kamadeva's flames that now surround Him. As these words are spoken, Govinda dasa moves the camara -whisk.
