Swati Tirunal’s “Mein nahi jaoon Jamuna teer”

Post by bharatanatyamrasika »

May I have the lyrics, meaning and audio link for this song Swati Tirunal’s “Mein nahi jaoon Jamuna teer” about little Krishna refusing to take the cows to graze on the Jamuna banks because the Gopis overcome by his beauty pinch his cheeks with a little too much love and affection. Later the Gopis say they avoid the Jamuna banks because it reminds them of the happy times spent playing with Krishna, and going there simply punctuates their anguish now since Krishna has left Brindavan. I read about it in a review of Rama Vaidyanathan's dance in the Hindu and NY times. It sounds enchanting. I do not find it in the Swati Tirunal website. Could I please have this Lakshmanji /Shankarji ? Thanks a lot.

meaning in nutshell as given in Swatithirunal website:
Oh mother! I will not go to the banks of JAMUNA river.
Mother YASODA, after listening to these words asked MURARI, "Please tell me why you will not go to graze the cattle?"
HARI, looking sternly said that: "all the cowherd damsels join together and jostled me. Being ashamed of their action, all the women of VRAJ told me not to inform you."
Still KRSHNA told everything to his mother. Then damsels covered his mouth with their hands.
After indulging in innumerable exploits with us, how can you leave from MADHUVANA? Oh! Lord PADMANABHA, succour of hapless, protect us from all miseries.
