अप्सरा आली इंद्रपुरीतुन खाली...
कोमल काया कि मोहमाया पुनवचांदनं न्हाली
सोन्यात सजले रूप्यात भिजले रत्नप्रभा तनू ल्याली
ही नटली थटली जशी उमटली चांदणी रंगमहाली
मी यौवन बिजली पाहून थिजली इंद्रसभा भवताली
(My soft skin is enchanting
I’m bathed in moonlight
Bedecked in gold, drenched in silver
I have worn the shimmer of rubies.
I’m dressed up
Looking like moonlight has descended on the stage
I’m a thunderbolt
that has struck the entire court of Indra)
अप्सरा आली इंद्रपुरीतुन खाली
पसरली लाली रत्नप्रभा तनु ल्याली
ती हसली गाली चांदनी रंगमहाली
अप्सरा आली पुनवचांदनं न्हाली
(Here comes the nymph, straight from the heavens
Her presence has lit up the earth
Her moonlit smile has brightened
Here comes the nymph bathed in moonlight)
छबिदार सुरत देखणी जणु हिरकणी नार गुलजार
सांगते उमर कंचुकी बापुडी मुकी सोसते भार
शेलटी खुणावे कटि तशी हनुवटी, नयन तलवार
(My face is so beautiful, I’m a priceless diamond, I’m a rose in full bloom.
My blouse (kanchuki), the silent sufferer
complains about the heavy burden it has to bear
my tiny waistline beckons you
as does my chin, and my lethal eyes)
ही रति मदभरली दाजी
ठिनगी शिनगाराची
कस्तुरी दरवळली दाजी झुळुक ही वार्याची
(she’s the intoxicating goddess of love, dear sir
she’s the very spark of passion
the fact that her fragrance has intoxicated the air is the wind’s fault, not hers)
ही नटली थटली जशी उमटली चांदणी रंगमहाली
मी यौवन बिजली पाहुन थिजली इंद्रसभा भवताली
अप्सरा आली इंद्रपुरीतुन खाली
पसरली लाली रत्नप्रभा तनु ल्याली
ती हसली गाली चांदनी रंगमहाली
अप्सरा आली पुनवचांदनं न्हाली
