Rai He Aba Tejaha Mana
Song 47
(Refrain) rā-i he aba tejaha māna
caraṇe lāgi tohe sādhaye kāna
(Refrain) O Radha, give up Your jealous anger. Walking with Your feet, go to meet Krsna.
badana na kara malina chānda bāde ki ā- oye pūṇimaka cānda
Don't make Your face so dark. Make it like a glistening full-moon.
adhara bāndhuli madhura hāsa nīrasa nā kara dīragha niśāsa
Don't give out these long despairing sighs. Place a sweet smile on Your bandhuli -flower lips.
cañcala nayana khañjana jora bhāṅga-bhujaṅgama rāhu āgora
Your restless eyes are like khanjana birds. Now You are in a snake's grip.
ki phala mohe etahu roṣa jagate bidita dāsaka doṣa
What sweet fruit will Your jealous anger bring to You? The whole world knows that Your servant has His faults.
bacana amiya binu ye nāhi jīye māna-kuliśa daraśāyasi kiye
He cannot live without the nectar of Your words. Why do You show this thunderbolt of Your jealous anger?
gobinda-dāsa cite e- i āśa tejana baraye māna abhilāṣa
In Govinda dasa's heart this desire resides: Give up this jealous anger.
