Lyrics
(Refrain) mādhava ghore viyoga-tamasi nipapāta rādhā vidhura-malina-mūrtir adhikam adhirūḍha-bādhā dhruva
(1) kurvati kila kokila-kule ujjvala-kala-nādam jaiminir iti jaiminr iti jalpati saviṣādam
(2) nīla-nalina-mālyam ahaha vīkṣya pulaka-vītā garuḍa garuḍa garuḍety abhirauti parama-bhītā
(3) lambhita-mṛga-nābhim aguru-kardamam anu dīnā dhyāyati śiti-kaṇṭham api sanātanam anulīnā
Translation
Refrain: Her body filled with pain, grief-stricken Radha has fallen, O Madhava, into the terrible darkness of separation from You.
(1) Now that with beautiful sweet voices the cuckoos lament, "jaimini jaimini,"
(2) When She sees a garland of blue lotuses She mistakes it for a black snake. Frightened, and the hairs of Her body erect, She cries out, "Garuda! Garuda!"
(3) When She sees musk or aguru, the poor girl thinks the god of love has appeared. To chase him away She becomes rapt in meditation on love's enemy, the peacock.
