A sweet little parrot
Speaking words of honey,
This is a sweet and wonderful day.
Has a colorful blooming vine
Come to rest in my lap?
This is a golden day for us to unite.
In a garden grove or in the middle of the road,
I searched only for you.
Be it morning or twilight evening,
I longed for you, and my heart surrenders now.
A sweet little parrot
Speaking words of honey,
This is a sweet and wonderful day.
Has a colorful blooming vine
Come to rest in my lap?
This is a golden day for us to unite.
I want to talk to my heart's content
In the garden,
Through all of my lifetime,
Without ever leaving your side.
To unite with you,
Won't this longing girl
Cross every boundary line?
Asking the gentle breeze to touch it,
Won't the coconut palm leaf plead?
If it pleads, loving fingers will touch it,
And if touched, sweet pleasure will awaken.
Can these two eyes ever sleep?
Can my heart bear this longing? It surrenders now.
A sweet little parrot
Speaking words of honey,
This is a sweet and wonderful day.
Has a colorful blooming vine
Come to rest in my lap?
This is a golden day for us to unite.
What I heard morning and evening
Was your melodious humming.
What I see across time
Is my devotion to you.
The hands that touch you
Will never live touching another woman.
Like a Sangam (ancient Tamil literary tradition) poem,
Will our song ever lose its rhythm?
Love is an epic poem,
A painting that lasts forever.
My darling, come join me,
All through the days,
My heart surrenders now.
A sweet little parrot
Speaking words of honey,
This is a sweet and wonderful day.
Has a colorful blooming vine
Come to rest in my lap?
This is a golden day for us to unite.
In a garden grove or in the middle of the road,
I searched only for you.
Morning or twilight evening, I longed for you,
My heart surrenders now.
A sweet little parrot
Speaking words of honey,
This is a sweet and wonderful day.
Has a colorful blooming vine
Come to rest in my lap?
This is a golden day for us to unite.
