On the soft bed in the palace of Ayodhya,
Sri Rama rested peacefully.
Feeling that a joy never felt before had arrived today,
Vaidehi rested in his lap.
Rama praised Sita with affection,
and Sita sang a lullaby to Rama.
As if their good times had triumphed once again,
she comforted him in her sweet, honey-like voice.
On the soft bed in the palace of Ayodhya,
Sri Rama rested peacefully.
Feeling that a joy never felt before had arrived today,
Vaidehi rested in his lap.
For Rama, who had walked on rough stones,
Vaidehi tended his feet with tender care.
For Rama, who had walked on rough stones,
Vaidehi tended his feet with tender care.
For Rama, who lived deep within her eyes,
she bound his feet with love...
Just to help Rama sleep peacefully for a day,
Janaki had prayed and done penance for many days.
Just to help Rama sleep peacefully for a day,
Janaki had prayed and done penance for many days.
Raghupati Raghava fell into a deep sleep,
while Janaki discovered the sweet joy of this moment.
On the soft bed in the palace of Ayodhya,
Sri Rama rested peacefully.
Feeling that a joy never felt before had arrived today,
Vaidehi rested in his lap.
