The disguised man who touched my body,
you actor in disguise!
He touched my heart,
that man with the mustache!
Like a rare fig flower,
I have blossomed.
Like a yellow aavaram flower,
I am waiting.
The disguised man who touched my body,
you actor in disguise!
He touched my heart,
that man with the mustache!
The disguised man who touched my body,
you actor in disguise!
He touched my heart,
that man with the mustache!
Did the god I prayed to
give you to me?
Or did my family deity
come before me in person?
Coming here in costume to dance,
you wiped away all my bad fate!
Like a rare fig flower,
I have blossomed.
Like a yellow aavaram flower,
I am waiting.
I wore a bindi,
I put flowers in my hair,
all because I saw you.
On my bright, lively eyes,
I applied kohl,
all because I saw you.
Under the pallu of my saree,
you set off sparkling fireworks.
In my gentle flower of a heart,
you made a home.
Smiling at me with your eyes,
my torn, aching heart
you stitched together with a thorn!
The withered tree has now
turned green again.
Because your touch reached me,
love has blossomed inside me!
Like moisture deep within a rock,
you live in my heart.
Like fragrance inside a flower,
you live in my very breath.
Like a rare fig flower,
I have blossomed.
Like a yellow aavaram flower,
I am waiting.
Countless moments of joy
are born inside me.
Like a little sparrow, my desire
flies higher and higher.
Searching and looking for you,
both my eyes fill with tears.
I am waiting, watching the path for you;
won't you give me a sign before you leave?
For your sharp, knife-like mustache,
I fell head over heels.
Blushing with sudden shyness,
my cheeks turned red as kumkum.
Holding you inside my eyes,
I woke from my sleep.
In the sweet dimple of your cheek,
I completely lost myself.
The month of Aavani came,
and six or seven days have passed.
My half-saree has grown
into a full saree.
For all my desires,
the sky itself is the limit.
Like a rainbow,
my world has filled with colors.
From the day I first saw you,
my shyness has only grown.
How can I explain what I feel?
I have forgotten all words.
You must tie the yellow sacred thread
and garland me as your bride.
Applying turmeric and a bindi,
my longing heart burns with sweet impatience.
Like a rare fig flower,
I have blossomed.
Like a yellow aavaram flower,
I am waiting.
