As youth melts and the heart yearns,
To the sweet tune of your flute, the entire Yamuna
Swells as waves surge high,
In Brindavan today, becoming one,
Won't our hands join? Come to me, my Krishna!
In Brindavan today, becoming one,
Won't our hands join? Come to me, my Krishna!
As youth melts and the heart yearns,
With beauty and fresh buds blossoming all around,
I will be the one to touch them!
Has the sweet charm of this Brindavan
Enchanted this young girl Radha?
Has the sweet charm of this Brindavan
Enchanted this young girl Radha?
Did he arrive at the right moment and shoot an arrow of flowers?
Did the charming, handsome Krishna give a kiss?
Male: Shouldn't we share kisses? Won't your cheeks glow with joy?
As I gather you into my arms, won't love overflow?
Taking whatever forms the heart desires, dressing up to match,
Every day is just like playing these two roles!
Male: There may be a thousand melodies, but the bamboo flute is only one;
There may be a thousand forms, but the heart is only one!
Female: Am I not truly you, after all?
Here, you are the music in my young heart!
As youth melts and the heart yearns,
With beauty and fresh buds blossoming all around,
I will be the one to touch them!
Female: In Brindavan today, becoming one,
Won't our hands join? Come to me, my Krishna!
Male: Has the sweet charm of this Brindavan
Enchanted this young girl Radha?
...
Won't the honey-filled jasmine wither? Won't it sing a sweet melody?
When the red beetle caresses it, won't sweet nectar spill over?
Female: Did you come to bathe? Am I a river of honey?
I have found such deep bliss—long live my Krishna!
Whether giving a kiss or resting on your lap,
Sweet delight flows every day, my Sri Devi (goddess)!
Female: When you hold me close, my whole body trembles with thrill,
This swaying fresh flower belongs to the Lord, doesn't it?
Male: Will your body turn into sweet nectar?
In my moment of longing, your beauty is a flood of grace!
As youth melts and the heart yearns,
To the sweet tune of your flute, the entire Yamuna
Swells as waves surge high,
Male: Has the sweet charm of this Brindavan
Enchanted this young girl Radha?
Female: In Brindavan today, becoming one,
Won't our hands join? Come to me, my Krishna!
