Sri Krishna Lila Chapter 4. The Butter Thief...


Vanamali Mataji sings her original love poem...

VARUMO THOZHI VARUMO
(Raga – Bhim Plas)

O Friend! Will my beloved ever come?
Will the lotus-eyed one come?
Will he come in the chariot of my heart?
I will garland him with a Vanamala made of Tulasi, jasmine and white flowers.
I will garland my love with a Vanamala (garland of wild flowers).
O beautiful dark Kanna (Krishna)
Will thou not come to me in the form of my beloved Vanamali?

I will prepare a sweet of milk and bananas,
And grape juice mixed with honey,
I will scatter lotus buds on his path,
And sprinkle sandalwood oil.
O Friend! Will my Vanamali ever come?

I have waited so long that my legs are giving way,
I have gazed for such a long time that my eyes are brimming with tears.
The oil in the evening lamp is coming to an end,
The flowers in the Vanamala (garland) are fading and falling.
O friend! Will my Vanamali ever come to me?

Varumo thozhi varumo prema swaroopan varumo,
Thamara kannan varumo, en manorathathil varumo,
Varumo….

Tulasi kunda mandaram cherthu, vanamala jaan charthum thozhi,
Kannanu vanamala charthum,
Sundara shyamala kanna nee ente vanamali roopathil varumo,
Varumo…

Panchamritavum paalum, mundiri charum thenum,
Thamara mottukal vitharum vazhiyil,
Chandana tailavum thalikkum
Varumo…

Kaathu katthente kaalukal thalarnu,
Nokki nokki ente kannukal niranju,
Sandhya deepathil enna kazhinju
Vanamala poovukal vadi kozhinju
Varumo…
