Tá an abhainn ina tuile
Arsa na cailíní bó
Conas dul sall?
Labhair Krishna:
Abair leis an abhainn
Nár phóg Krishna cailín bó riamh ina shaol
Gháir na cailíní bó.
Níor phóg sé gopi riamh!
"Phóg tú na mílte againn!"
Ach chun é a shásamh, dúradar leis an abhainn
Nár phóg sé éinne acu riamh
Thráigh an tuile
Cailín bó níor phóg Krishna riamh
Comhfhios íon is ea Krishna
Gan bhéal
Krishna Krishna
Tóg uaim na beola seo

THE FLOOD
It is flooded
The cowgirls said
How do we cross the river?
Krishna spoke:
Say to the river
Krishna never kissed a cowgirl!
The gopis laughed.
Never kissed a cowgirl!
"Thousands you have kissed!"
But to amuse him, they said to the river
"Krishna never kissed a cowgirl!"
The waters settled down
Krishna never did kiss a cowgirl
Krishna is pure consciousness
No lips
Krishna Krishna
Take these lips away.
