Your going to be our sunlight and make our dreams come true
Love is always there with us together

The happy song of the cuckoo fills our home every day
A breeze bathed in flowers blows through our garden every day
Inside the parrot cage, a whole new world is born
Inside a loving heart, a wide sky has opened up
Is sweet fruit sweeter, or is poetry sweeter?
Could either be sweeter than love?
The happy song of the cuckoo fills our home every day
A breeze bathed in flowers blows through our garden every day
Nowhere on this earth have I seen love like yours
Nothing else is needed in the presence of this love
A flower blooms in the heart the moment you step into this home
Eyes peacefully drift to sleep when you sing your songs
These loving bonds are enough; our joy will only grow
A home lit by the lamp of love is truly God's temple
If heaven is a home, we found that home in our love
Thakkajonu thakka thaam thaam thadhinna thajjonu thaam
Thakkajonu thakka thaam thaam... silence!
My goodness!
Shh, skies are grey and cloudy, we are feeling blue
The skies are grey and cloudy, and we are feeling blue
You're going to be our sunlight and make our dreams come true
Love is always there with us together
Feelings are forever and forever
In all this love, I found a sacred temple
In the protective hands of my brothers, I am their very life
With your deep affection, you are our fragrant flower garden
With your sweet love, you are the veena that makes gentle music
Some may chant the Vedas, and some may seek the Gita
The scripture I found, the melody I discovered...
...are only my brothers' words
The moon in the sky may wane, but could the moon of our love ever fade?
The happy song of the cuckoo
fills our home every day
A breeze bathed in flowers
blows through our garden every day
Inside the parrot cage, a whole new world is born
Inside a loving heart, a wide sky has opened up
Is sweet fruit sweeter, or is poetry sweeter?
Could either be sweeter than love?
