Suna Suna E Sakhi Nivedana Toya
Song 44
śuna śuna e sakhi nibedana toya
maramaka bedana jānasi moya
Listen. Listen. I beg you. O gopi -friend, only you know the anguish in my heart.
baiṭhahe nāha catura-gaṇa mājhi
aiche kahabi yaiche na hoya lāja
You are not shy. You will speak to Lord Krsna, who sits among His clever friends.
sakhī-gaṇa mājhe caturī tohe jāni ādara rākhi milāyabi āni
You are the wisest of my gopi -friends. This I know. You can keep your honor and still meet with Krsna.
aba biracaha tuhum ́ so parabandha
kānuka yaiche hoya nirabandha
Please write a letter that places my request before Krsna.
jībana rahite nāha yadi pāba
gobinda-dāsa taba tuyā yaśa gāba
If I do not attain Krsna, I will not continue to live. O gopi, in this song Govinda dasa sings your glories.
