TRANSLATION

1) Nanda Dulal plays with His dear Radha. Their succulent forms, that resemble emeralds and gold, are both red.

2) Their bodies are beautified by splendid reddened garments, and They wear strings of red pearls and gems. On top of Krsna's dancing turban is a peacock feather and this plus Radharani's veil is colored pink.

3) They both carry abira in Their hands and strew it over Each other's bodies. They also squirt colored water over Each other through syringes. The Yamuna is red, the kunja-vanas (grove-woods) on the bank of the Yamuna are red and the string of young girls of Vraja is also red.

4) The trees are red, the vines and flowers are red and the string of bees within them are also red. The Sari and Suka-parrots are red, the peacocks and the cuckoos are red and Uddhava dasa sings this tasty song.
