Love has come,
it has come to rule my heart.

Love has come,

A family of my own has come,

A family of my own has come,
a divine heaven has arrived.
A good, respected life like the rest of the world,
we too can live.
Every day, with fine clothes and jewelry,
we can wear fresh flowers.
Without any sorrow in our eyes,
we can find peace.
Without any sorrow in our eyes,
we can find peace.
Believing that time will conquer all troubles,
we can stay strong and cherish our bond.
A motherless child like this,
I will never abandon.
And when I am no longer around,
God will never forsake you.
Love has come,
it has come to rule my heart.
A family of my own has come,
a divine heaven has arrived.
As long as I live,
I will live only for you.
Like a flower that never fades,
I will protect you.
Like children of royalty,
I will place a crown upon you.
When you grow into a young woman,
I will put bangles on your wrists,
and sing my blessings for you.
Blessed with auspicious turmeric and flowers,
I will make sure you lead a happy life.
Alongside a brother and a sister,
I will live as a father.
Love has come,
it has come to rule my heart.
A family of my own has come,
a divine heaven has arrived.
