In the village they call her the dark girlA
but to me she is the flower KrishnakaliA
On a cloudy day in a fieldB
I saw the dark girl's dark gazelle eyesC
She had no covering on her headD
her loose hair had fallen on her backE
-
Dark However dark she beF
I have seen her dark gazelleeyesC
-
Two black cows were lowingG
as it grew dark under the heavy cloudsC
So with anxious hurried stepsC
the dark girl came from her hutH
Raising her eyebrows toward the skyI
she listened a moment to the clouds' rumbleA
-
Dark However dark she beF
I have seen her dark gazelle eyesC
-
A gust of the east windJ
rippled the rice plantsC
I was standing by a ridgeK
alone in the fieldB
Whether or not she looked at meF
Is known only to us twoL
-
Dark However dark she beF
I have seen her dark gazelle eyesC
-
This how the Kohldark cloudM
rises in the northeast in JaisthaN
the soft dark shadowO
descends on the Tamal grove in AsharhP
and sudden delight floods the heartQ
in the night of SravanR
-
Dark However dark she beF
I have seen her dark gazelle eyesC
-
To me she is the flower KrishnakaliA
whatever she may be called by othersC
In a field in Maynapara villageS
I saw the dark girl's dark gazelle eyesC
She did not cover her headD
not having the time to feel embarrassedT
-
Dark However dark she beF
I have seen her dark gazelle eyesC
