Which song describing RADHA as abhisara... can anyone give me the translation

Oh no ! you wanted me to translate Shangana Gagane ? I misinterpreted that and translated sajani sajani

My attempt to translate Shangana Gagane :

Thunderstorm in the July sky, night-ridden earth,

how will she cross the path to the garden- the helpless desirous lass !

The raving wind sparks off the turbulent Yamuna to roar, the relentless rumbling of the thunder,

lightning flashing, trees falling, incite her whole body to shiver.

Raindrops pattering in the dense forest of Shal, Piyal, Palm and Tamal,

darkness is splashed over the Eden,

even this disaster can't stop the young dame.

Her ears can't resist the tune originated through the garden,

why is his flute playing the melancholy calling Radha's name ?

(Radha: ) Get me dressed in the pearl necklace, tie up my long dishevelled hair, arrange the parting, clad it with strings of Champak flower.

(Tagore: ) Resist his youthful calling ! I am Bhanusingha, your servant, keep my ardent request.

Do not embrace the dark forest's temptation, fear the thunder that makes your heart tremble, oh girl listen to me, please refrain from your quest.

Thunderstorm in the July sky, Night-ridden earth,

How will she cross the streets to the garden- the helpless desirous lass

The raving wind sparks off the turbulent Yamuna to roar, frequently rumbles the thunder,

Lightning flashing, Trees falling, makes the lone woman shiver.

Raindrops pattering in the dense forest of Shal, Piyal, Palm and Tamal,

Darkness is splashed over the Eden,

Though this disaster can't stop the dame,

Her ears are fixed to the tune originated through the garden,

why is his flute playing the melancholy calling Radha's name ?

(Radha: ) Get me dressed in the pearl neckless, arrange the parting in my hair, make me wear the veil fallen on the ground, the floral garland on my hair

(Tagore: ) I am your servant, Bhanusingha, o maiden please listen to me.

Please don't go to the dense forest, , the thunder makes your heart tremble, don't go to that young teen.

wonderful girl!!! 🤗

It is nothing but a dreamer's blissful whispering, see the flow, the tender feelings just slipped from the soul and started singing in low voice like a babbling brook!

For us, Barsha is the magic word, when the whole nature celebrates youth and regeneration. A divine season for romance and mystery, a trend set by Radha-Krishna, and irresistibly exploited by poets of all ages (and as you know, every poet has written at least one poem in his/her life, and that one is most likely to be on the rainy season). It is also a season for musical soirees, welcoming the rains, celebrating life and love. Rabindranath merely provided more power and contemporaneity to the romantic literary climate created by the medieval Vaishnava Padavali poets through Radha Krishna love and longing. Thank you once again for such wonderful translations.
