Tears streamed, daughter of Vrishabhanu,
Tears streamed, daughter of Vrishabhanu.
She spoke, "The heartless Dark One has turned from me,
The heartless Dark One has turned from me."
All sense, all reason, vanished from my mind,
My very sense, all reason, I have left behind.
My lips held nectar, my eyes, a honeyed blaze,
My lips held nectar, my eyes, a honeyed blaze,
Yet, never, never did they please him,
My heart's desire, within my own courtyard remained,
My heart's desire, within my own courtyard remained.
Drowned in the sea of shame, my friend, drowned I,
Drowned in the sea of shame,
He heard not my plea, he heard not my plea,
The heartless one heard not my plea, he heard not my plea.
He listened to my words, not my heart's own cry,
He listened to my words, not my heart's own cry,
He heard not my plea, he heard not my plea,
He heard not my plea, my friend, he heard not my plea.
He did not heed my prayer,
My friend, he did not heed my prayer.
Shyam has departed from Gokul, the city now deserted,
Shyam has departed from Gokul, the city now deserted.
The pain of separation grows, alas, my friend,
The pain of separation grows, alas, my friend.
Mad for Mohan's love are millions, countless Radhas,
Mad for Mohan's love are millions, countless Radhas.
Radha's one, her Murari, alas, my friend,
Radha's one, her Murari.
Who is yours, who is yours, without Shyam, my friend?
Who is yours, who is yours, without Krishna?
Without Krishna, she is a sorrowful Radha,
Who is yours, who is yours?
Radha's one, her Murari,
Alas, my friend, Radha's one, her Murari.
