my darling Radha, my darling Radha, my darling Radha!
The boundless joy we gathered up
has come here to express itself!
My heart takes refuge in you,
there is no one anywhere around,
there is no need to feel shy,
I will count and give you everything!
Come, teach me the lessons
Come, gather me in your gaze
Come, teach me the lessons
Come, gather me in your gaze
Come, teach me the lessons
Come, gather me in your gaze
When your gentle look falls on me,
I lost myself completely, oh... oh...

come, Kanna, come, Kanna, come, Kanna!
Colorful, beautiful patterns,
I slowly drew and watched them appear,
and I spoke of what I saw!
What more is there to say?
You must scoop me up in your arms,
and I will count and receive it all!
Come, teach me the lessons
Come, gather me in your gaze
My passion and your passion,
isn't it a divine joy?
