Song Meaning of “Krishna Leaving Vrindavan (Suno Suno Saanware Ki…)” by Shreya Ghoshal
This song is a beautiful tribute to the divine being, Lord Krishna, and a somber reminder of his eventual journey away from his home Vrindavan. The lyrics begin by expressing the sadness of those left behind, asking the Lord to not leave, saying “Suno, suno Saanware ki” – listen to the pleading of your devotees. The lyrics also paint a vivid image of the parting scene, where the Lord is being surrounded by his loving gopis and devotees showering flowers over him. As he departs the melancholic atmosphere is filled with colourful birds chirping, wishing him farewell.
The chorus evokes a strong emotion of nostalgia and longing, as it talks about the burning in the heart of those left behind and the sorrow of the divine flute as it slowly stops playing. The song ends on a hopeful note, expressing the trust in the Lord that he will come back soon, comforting his devotees with a sweet embrace.
This song is a reminder for us to cherish our relationships and not take them for granted, and to also have faith in the divine that all will be alright in the end.
