TRANSLATION

(Refrain) He who is the Deity of love, who is love personified, gazes at Her. Now all Her sufferings are ended. He personally serves Her.

1) Respectfully He approaches. He embraces Radha. He holds Her to His chest. With unblinking eyes He gazes at Her for a long time. With His lotus hands He rubs His eyes.

2) Even though She stays in the cooling moonlight, She perspires. With the palms of His hand He wipes Her face. With a moistened lotus-petal He gently gently fans Her. "Was there trouble on the path?", He asks.

3) Holding Her chin with a finger, He places betelnuts in Her mouth. Krsna speaks sweetly. Govinda dasa says: Radha feels She is being bathed in nectar that is eternally newer and newer.
