Joy has filled my heart, Ananthi, all because of you.
Wisdom has dawned upon me, Ananthi, through my love for you.
My precious beloved,
Why haven't I heard your sweet song?
When will I join your heart as the very soul of your life?
Embodiment of beauty, flower of my heart,
You are the newly rising moon!
Joy has filled my heart, Ananthi, all because of you.
Wisdom has dawned upon me, Ananthi, through my love for you.
Like a peacock spreading its feathers when the dark clouds gather,
Aa....aa...aa...
Like a peacock spreading its feathers when the dark clouds gather,
My darling, when will you appear before my eyes and tell your tale of love?
Like a cuckoo singing in the tender evening,
When will you sing softly like a soothing breeze and listen to me?
To let me close my eyes on your lap, putting me to sleep as you sing...
Joy has filled my heart, Ananthi, all because of you.
Wisdom has dawned upon me, Ananthi, through my love for you.
As women gather fresh flowers and weave them together,
As women gather fresh flowers and weave them together,
Adorned with henna, glowing like gold, as you step forward,
I will take a flower garland and place it around your shoulders,
Tell me the news of our wedding day, when I will embrace you close to my chest!
As music resounds and our love begins,
As blessings shower upon us and our life shines bright,
Joy has filled my heart, Ananthi, all because of you.
Wisdom has dawned upon me, Ananthi, through my love for you.
My precious beloved,
Why haven't I heard your sweet song?
When will I join your heart as the very soul of your life?
Embodiment of beauty, flower of my heart,
You are the newly rising moon!
Joy has filled my heart, Ananthi, all because of you.
Wisdom has dawned upon me, Ananthi, through my love for you.
