Laaj...!!

                                                                           

                       How lovely are her curls, 

                       filled with braided jasmine; 

                       her face is brilliant as lightning;

                       her movements intoxicating...

                                                                                        Krishna caught hold of me!

                                                                           Krishna caught hold of me and suddenly,,,,,,,,,,,,,

                     he kissed my face...!!

From my head, my scarf fell;

my scarf went slipping from my head,                                              

slipping...

Why does he tease me so?

Why does he tease me so?

Nand's darling [i.e., Krishna] is just that willful...

By force he stole away my honor,

by force he stole away my honor...!!

Krishna will not heed me...

                                     To whom can I speak my heart when he does not listen?

                                     Oh, mother!

                                     Why does he tease me?

   

                                                                                            A small pot full of yogurt...

 I was taking a pot full of yogurt down the road

 I heard his footstep, 

 I heard his footstep and my heart swelled and, began to pound,

thumping.........!!

Why does he tease and torment me?                           

 He caught me and all my bangles broke...!!                  

O, mother!

Krishna will not heed me...

To whom can I speak my heart..

when he does not listen?

Oh Krishna!

Why do you tease me?
