When Radha’s friends left her alone with Krishna, she smiled shyly, looking down at her soft bed made of tender leaves and flower beds. While Radha sat thus, fixing her gaze modestly on the grass bed, Krishna spoke to her gently and lovingly.
Rest your footprints on these tender shoots,
O Radhe, Your beautiful lotus-like feet
May ruffle the leafy bed at random.
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
You have come walking through long distances,
I shall caress your tender feet with my hands
O Beautiful Radhe!
Keep your jewelled ankle feet on my bed and relax!
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
Your moon-like face filled with
The elixir of happiness spills words of delight.
Come and embrace me, O Radhe!
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
You expect to be loved and caressed, I know!
Quench your desire, Radhe, with an embrace,
Your full-formed breasts touching my bare chest!
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
Allow me to touch your sweet nectar lips,
Separated from you, I have been like a starved slave.
O beautiful Radhe,
Revive the vital force of my body and mind
With your tender touch!
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
O my moon-faced darling,
Adjust your diamond-studded girdle,
With a tinkling sound
That matches your sweet voice.
For me, even the Cuckoo’s song has lost its melody.
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
Your turbulent eyes belie the tears shed
And the anger directed at me.
Now, your eyes speak of intoxicating passion.
Look up at me, Radhe!
And end the long awaited union.
I am your Narayana now!
Bestow on me your selfless and eternal love.
Each word, each line, of Jayadeva’s lyrics,
Expresses Krishna’s undying love for his Radha.
May it bring “Sat- Chit- Ananda”
The “Highest Truth – Knowledge – Bliss
To all those reading and enjoying
This beautiful love song!
