Here is a song from the Astakaliya section of the Sri Pada-kalpa-taru. There are nearly five hundred songs in this section of the work by various and sundry songwriters. I have opened up a file and will add to these from time to time. When the collection gets larger I will issue a pdf with the songs and the original Bengali words.

Gora Moon has lain down\
In the house for sleeping
On a many-splendored bed,
decorated most charmingly.
His body is lax with tiredness,
Gora, the king of dancers.
What can I say about
the beauty of his body?
One cannot describe it.
Is it lightning from a cloud,
Kneading it with great care?
With how much sweet juice
has the creator made him?
There, on that charming bed
On a many-splendored pillow
Vasudeva Ghosa views him,
his heart in exaltation.
[We have been hearing about the setting moon in the songs of Radha and Krsna's last moments in the kunja. Here the setting moon is Gaura. Kind of a nice touch.]
