Aju Nava Syama Vinodini
Song 69
(Refrain) āju nava śyāma vinodinī rā-i tanu tanu
atanu yuta śata sebita labaṇi baraṇi nā yā-i
(Refrain) Radha, the teenage girl who enjoys pastimes with dark Krsna, Radha who is filled with hundreds of amorous desires, and who is gloriously beautiful has not yet come.
śārada sudhākara maṇḍala khaṇḍana badana kamala bikāśa
adhare milāyata śyāma manohara cita corāyali hāsa
Her blossoming lotus face breaks the nectar-moon into pieces. The smile on her lips robs charming Krsna of His heart.
bari bakula-phule āphula ali-kula madhu pibi pibi utarola
sakala alaṅkṛti karuṇa jhaṅkṛti kiṅkiṇī raṇaraṇi bola
She is decorated with many bakula flowers. Sipping and sipping the nectar of these flowers, the black bees are wild with bliss. All Her ornaments sweetly jangle.
pada-paṅkaja para maṇimaya nūpura pūrita khañjana bhāṣa
madana mukura janu nakha
maṇi-darapaṇa nichani gobinda-dāsa
The jewel anklets on Her lotus feet coo like khanjana birds. Her toenails are like Kamadeva's jewel mirrors. Govinda dasa offers arati to Her.
