Honey Bee lyrics

Honey bee, honey bee,

friend of a cheater,

don't touch my feet

with your cool, cool, smooth whiskers

I know a cool, cool, smooth 

gardener Krishna.

Honey bee, honey bee,

why are you singing

the glories of one

who has long since left?

We gave up our own homes 

to be with him always,

so please go 

and sing your song 

for the women of Mathura

After making us drink the nectar

of his enchanting lips only once,

Krishna suddenly abandoned us

and left us here alone all these months.

Honey bee, honey bee,

I know what you're doing.

You've learned diplomacy 

from Mukunda so well

and now you're reciting 

his flattering phrases.

Honey bee, honey bee,

why should we love him?

He abandoned our husbands 

for his sake alone

This dark-skinned boy

is simply ungrateful.

How can I

forgive him so soon?

So let us give

up our friendship

with this selfish young boy forever

even if we can't

give up talking about 

him whenever we're together.

When I hear

Krishna [?],

it is nectar for my ears.

For those who take

a single drop,

the material life will stop

Now that I

am feeling pain,

please don't say his name again.

Oh, honeybee,

please leave me.

I don't want to hear

Lord Krishna anymore.

Honey bee, honey bee,

friend of my dear one,

has my beloved sent you here again?

I should honour you.

Choose whatever bloom you desire

Honey bee, honey bee,

why have you come back

to take us to him,

who's so hard to renounce?

He who is consort

with the Goddess of Fortune

My golden god, my Mukunda

My Krishna
