You | You'd arrived at dark midnight.{{#tag:ref|An alternate translation here would be: "Krsna, You'd arrived late at night." Clearly, the use of the word, ''Krśńá'', in this line is not accidental. The conditions described match those associated with Krsna's birth. However, as this song seems to be not so much about the first appearance of Krsna as the reappearance of Krsna, perhaps the translation of ''Krśńá'' as an adjective rather than a proper noun makes more sense.|group="nb"}} | ||
With hearty expectation and affection, | With hearty expectation and affection, | ||
You had smiled in | You had smiled in mirror of my mind. | ||
I was looking | I was looking in the material world | ||
To find bliss through objects inert. | To find bliss through objects inert. | ||
Not once did I gaze at Your face; | Not once did I gaze at Your face; | ||
I did not see that You | I did not see that You returned. | ||
Mad was I, with my own self obsessed, | Mad was I, with my own self obsessed, | ||
Liking to think only of personal interest. | |||
I did not consider Your resolute aim, | I did not consider Your resolute aim, | ||
That You were its very quintessence. | |||
