I Won’t Let You Embrace! -

I won’t let you embrace! I won’t let you drink the nectar from my lips!
Why are you so lustful, young one of Nanda?
I won’t let you embrace! I won’t let you drink the nectar from my lips!

Unstained is the name of our family you will only bring us dishonor,
Beloved of Laxmi, just stay away from me!
I won’t let you embrace! I won’t let you drink the nectar from my lips!

Once I see you, I feel like relishing you, love, tell me how am I to hold myself back!
Playing with Narsaiyya’s lord, I wish to cross over to the other shore!
I won’t let you embrace! I won’t let you drink the nectar from my lips!
