(1)
suna suna e sakhi nibedana toya
maramaka bedana janasi moya
 
(2)
baithahe naha catura-gana majhi
aiche kahabi yaiche na hoya laja
 
(3)
sakhi-gana majhe caturi tohe jani
adara rakhi milayabi ani
 
(4)
aba biracaha tuhum so parabandha
kanuka yaiche hoya nirabandha
 
(5)
jibana rahite naha yadi paba
gobinda-dasa taba tuya yasa gaba
 
 
(1) Listen. Listen. I beg you. O gopi-friend, only you know the anguish in my heart.
 
(2) You are not shy. You will speak to Lord Krsna, who sits among His clever friends.
 
(3) You are the wisest of my gopi-friends. This I know. You can keep your honor and still meet with Krsna.
 
(4) Please write a letter that places my request before Krsna.
 
(5) If I do not attain Krsna, I will not continue to live. O gopi, in this song Govinda dasa sings your glories.
