The first song is Nagumomo :
Invisible, smiling face
Knowing my sorrow
Won’t you protect me?
You who lifted the Govardhana Hill
Your councilors cannot fail
To remind you of your duty to me
Could the King of Birds
Who obeys your every command
Refuse to bring you to me?
Might he say, ‘the earth where you live
Is too far from the sky’?
You are a great soul
Whose comfort and protection
Offer solace to the universe
To whom else can I voice my unhappiness?
I can’t bear your tricks
Come to me
Knowing my sorrow
Won’t you protect me?
You who lifted the Govardhana Hill
Your councilors cannot fail
To remind you of your duty to me
Could the King of Birds
Who obeys your every command
Refuse to bring you to me?
Might he say, ‘the earth where you live
Is too far from the sky’?
You are a great soul
Whose comfort and protection
Offer solace to the universe
To whom else can I voice my unhappiness?
I can’t bear your tricks
Come to me
And the second song is O Rama :
Lover of Lakshmi
Scion of the Solar Dynasty
I can’t bear this separation
Your lotus eyes instill in me
Belief that penetrates the depths of my heart
And yet you treat me as a stranger
Have you no place for those
Who have mastered the body
And fully realized themselves?
I shall walk ahead
And you will follow
I shall walk ahead
And I love you all
Rest easy now, my child
Rest easy, I know you
The praise you gave
That my eyes were like flowers
Rest easy now, my child
Scion of the Solar Dynasty
I can’t bear this separation
Your lotus eyes instill in me
Belief that penetrates the depths of my heart
And yet you treat me as a stranger
Have you no place for those
Who have mastered the body
And fully realized themselves?
I shall walk ahead
And you will follow
I shall walk ahead
And I love you all
Rest easy now, my child
Rest easy, I know you
The praise you gave
That my eyes were like flowers
Rest easy now, my child
