(Refrain) Krishna, who is the Lord of the poor and meek and the hero that vanquished Kaliya, stays in a kadamba tree's shade on the Yamuna's banks. (1) (Lord Krishna says:) How many girls of Vraja have I seen? Still, this one girl is splendid like a garland of unmoving lightning flashes, (2) O friend Subala, I tell you: from that moment I no longer know whether it is day or night. (3) In that place were two or four beautiful girls splendid like glistening jewels. But only one of those girls cast a spell on My heart. (4) I keep that girl in my heart. My heart is filled with the smoke of Kamadeva's flames. Lost in the smoke, I cannot see the directions. (5) Moment after moment I am rapt in thinking of this girl. I know nothing but Her. I am overcome by the fever of separation from Her. (6) Day after day my body becomes more thin and emaciated. Govinda dasa says: These are the signs of new love.
