Kaliya Damana Dina Naha

Refrain
kāliya-damana dīna-nāha kālindī-kūla kadamba chāha
Translation

Krsna, who is the Lord of the poor and meek and the hero that vanquished Kaliya, stays in a kadamba tree's shade on the Yamuna's banks.

kata kata braja naba bālā pekhalu janu thira bijarika mālā
Translation

(Lord Krsna says:) How many girls of Vraja have I seen? Still, this one girl is splendid like a garland of unmoving lightning flashes,

tohe kaho subala sāṅgāti tabadhari hama nā jāni dibā rāti
Translation

O friend Subala, I tell you: from that moment I no longer know whether it is day or night.

tāhi dhani maṇi du-i cāri tāhi mano-mohinī eka nārī
Translation

In that place were two or four beautiful girls splendid like glistening jewels. But only one of those girls cast a spell on My heart.

so rahu majhu mane paṭhi manasija dhūme ghūma nāhi dīṭhi
Translation

I keep that girl in my heart. My heart is filled with the smoke of Kamadeva's flames. Lost in the smoke, I cannot see the directions.

anukhana tāhita samādhi ko jāne kaichana biraha-biyādhi
Translation

Moment after moment I am rapt in thinking of this girl. I know nothing but Her. I am overcome by the fever of separation from Her.

dine dine kṣīṇa bhela deha gobinda-dāsa kaha aiche naba-leha
Translation

Day after day my body becomes more thin and emaciated. Govinda dasa says: These are the signs of new love.
