...
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives,
The flowering tree showers its blossoms.
In the eyes of the familiar angel,
A thousand dreams march in procession.
A peacock with spread feathers sends a message,
Upon these shoulders, a garland will now fall.
Thousands upon thousands of flowers will bloom.
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives,
The flowering tree showers its blossoms.
In the eyes of the familiar angel,
A thousand dreams march in procession.
...
In the month of Margazhi, in the grove of the Love God,
Raindrops keep falling.
The wedding garland and the lovely saree
Come appearing in my dreams.
The old story will now change,
The sweet pleasure of youth will now well up.
Growing, spreading, sprouting, and rising,
A new delight that embraces the blossoms.
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives,
The flowering tree showers its blossoms.
In the eyes of the familiar angel,
A thousand dreams march in procession.
...
There is no longer any obstacle,
There is no dam along the path,
Let the river flow free.
At this auspicious moment, in the grove of Love,
Let the flowers bloom.
Let a new art write me,
Let me rejoice on a bed of flowers.
Hastening to partake in a grand feast,
Drink deep of the nectar of youth.
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives,
The flowering tree showers its blossoms.
In the eyes of the familiar angel,
A thousand dreams march in procession.
A peacock with spread feathers sends a message,
Upon these shoulders, a garland will now fall.
Thousands upon thousands of flowers will bloom.
As the beautiful flower-like girl arrives,
The flowering tree showers its blossoms.
In the eyes of the familiar angel,
A thousand dreams march in procession.
