TRANSLATION

Refrain: Oh blue waters of the Yamuna River, tell me where did my dear monsoon-cloud-like beauty Krsna is present!

1) I have been very hungry for Krsna with hope and went to Vraja Dhama. I went to braja dham.

2) I have gone to the middle of the open forest and who did I see? My Krsna playing the flute! I went nearby Him to be able to listen and see Sri Sri Radha and Her beloved Lord, Krsna.

3) I went to each home asking, “Where is Krsna?” Where are they not telling me where he is, and why are all eyes filled with tears?

4) Tell me, where is my beautiful Syama? Is he in Mathura? He must be in Gokula or Dwarka! He must be in Vrndavana playing the flute who is walking on the pathways. His anklebells give pleasure to all.
