To meet Him at eve
In a cottage

O innocent Radha
Didnt the Lord
Speak sweetly to thee
Bowing before thy feet
Doesnt he now
Wait for thee in cottage
Follow Him happily
For Bliss is thine !

Gently you walk
Heaviness of your loins
Make thee walk slowy
Your anklets
Gem studded
Make tinkling noise
Your gait humbles
Movement of swans !

How sweet the melodious flute
Of our beloved Lord
Damsels are enticed
See how the cuckoos coo
Acclaiming Cupid's commands !

Pearl garlands on your chest
Appear like glittering water
Overflowing !

O angry One
Leave thy shyness
And meet the Lord !

Resemble Cupid's
Hold your friend
Go to the Lord
With beatific peace !
May the sound
Of thy anklets
Indicate thy arrival !

Without any crookedness
In Bridal Mysticism sublime
Jayadeva composed this song
With pearl like words !
Let this immortal Song
This Song of all Songs
Remain in the minds
Of His sincere lovers
His Seers and Saints !
