Showering sweet affection, I will carry you away!
In the small cup of bright moonlight,
The deep love of my heart,

The deep love of my heart,
I will pour like sweet wine and offer it to you!
Ah... ah... ah...
Oh my love, my sweet nectar, come to me!
The colorful rainbow in the sky,
Folding it like a golden shawl,

Folding it like a golden shawl,
My dear Valli, I will present it to you as a gift!
The twinkling stars in the sky,
Stringing them like fragrant jasmine flowers,

Stringing them like fragrant jasmine flowers,
Oh my love, my sweet nectar, come to me!
With brushstrokes of bright lightning,
On the white screen of the clouds,
With brushstrokes of bright lightning,
On the white screen of the clouds,
I will paint a portrait of your beauty!
The streaming showers of rain from the sky,
Making them strings for a veena (traditional lute),
The streaming showers of rain from the sky,
Making them strings for a veena (traditional lute),
I will pluck sweet melodies and shower music upon you!
