Wake Up, Darling! Song by Saint Mira bai

[Guest guest]

Jaya Sri Radhey!

 

Another delicious song of Divinelove

from the Gopi Saint Mira bai:-

 

Wake up,

my lover of women,

my amorous fluteplayer,

night has fled,

it is dawn.

 

Shutters bang open in house after house.

Hear the bracelets

chiming together

as gopis strain at their butter churns.

 

Wake up, it is dawn,

lords and men

throng through the doorways,

cowherding boys,

their little hands stuffed with bread and butter,

drive cattle to pasture.

 

Wake up! Mira says:

The fluteplayer will save you,

but you must come

seeking refuge.

 

-Translation by Andrew Schelling, from

'For Love of the Dark One - Songs of Mirabai'.
