For whom is that enchanting evening over there?
For the two who are captivated right here.
If we wait, thinking this will come tomorrow,
Won't an entire day go to waste?

A hundred sweet blossoms invite us to dance,
Sweet mango juice invites us to drink,

Sweet mango juice invites us to drink,
The river Kaveri tells us to unite,

Asking for love is the sweetness of romance,
Giving when asked is a lover's duty.
