(Refrain)
sajani ko kahe kama ananga
keli kadamba tale        so rati-nayaka
pekhalu nata-bhara-bhanga
 
(1)
cudaka cuda      mayura-sikhandaka
mandita malati-maleee
saurabha unamata         bhramari bheramara kata
caudike karata jhankare
 
(2)
katahu bisama sara         nayana tuna bhara
sancaru bhana kamane
nagari nari         marama maha hana-i
lekha-i na para-i ane
 
(3)
sruti-mule cancala         manimaya kundala
dolata makara-akara
gobinda-dasa        ataye anumanala
madana-mohana abatara
 
(Refrain) O gopi-friend, was that person I saw Kamadeva Himself? A hero of playful pastimes, He gracefully danced under a kadamba tree.
 
(1) He wore a peacock-feather crown. His jasmine garland was surrounded by black bees. Intoxicated by the scent of His garland, how many humming bees filled the four directions?
 
(2) Moving the archer's bows of His eyebrows and emptying the two quivers of His eyes, how many flower-arrows did He fire? Many playful girls' hearts were wounded. Those girls could not gaze on anyone but Him.
 
(3) Shark-shaped jewel earrings swung from His ears. Govinda dasa says: I think that person must have been more enchanting than Kamadeva himself.
