Oh, today in my sky,
so many changes are happening.
Without understanding why,
longings keep searching for answers.
I thought you were just a close friend,
today I discovered your magic.
I realized that this is love,
and today I flew across the sky.
I used to be like a lonely island,
you walked in like a passing traveler.
You waged a war within me,
and now you say I am your captive.
Like a child seeing its mother,
my heart smiles so beautifully.
Like losing its way and getting lost,
the very next moment, it begins to cry.
Why is it that today, my veena (stringed instrument)
plays music only because of you?
Thinking of you, my heart
burns like a flame.
There are no limits, there is no end,
we can live forever, my love.
Across all the stars, to write our names,
come to me, my love.
Everywhere across my sky,
there are only clouds of your love.
There is nothing sweeter than love,
there truly is nothing, my love.
There is no limit to describe love,
one can never tire of it, my love.
Everywhere in my song,
echoes the melody of your affection.
Like a child seeing its mother,
my heart smiles so beautifully.
Like a baby resting on a lap,
every memory feels so sweet.
Oh, today in my sky,
such beautiful changes appear.
Coolly embracing me,
is the morning mist.
I thought you were just a close friend,
today I discovered your magic.
I realized that this is love,
and today I flew across the sky.
I used to be like a lonely island,
you walked in like a passing traveler.
You waged a war within me,
and now you say I am your captive.
Like a child seeing its mother,
my heart smiles so beautifully.
Like losing its way and getting lost,
the very next moment, it begins to cry.
