This heart of mine can endure anything,
yet this youthful age is trying to trick me.
In the sky of my heart, a rising sun
has just risen anew!
This heart of mine can endure anything,
yet this youthful age is trying to trick me.
In the sky of my heart, a rising sun
has just risen anew!
This heart of mine can endure anything...
Having pinched my heart
and made it leap like a deer,
will my sweetheart come, little parrot?
Having pinched my heart
and made it leap like a deer,
will my sweetheart come, little parrot?
Will he give me a token of his love... ah ah?
This heart of mine can endure anything,
yet this youthful age is trying to trick me.
In the sky of my heart, a rising sun
has just risen anew!
This heart of mine can endure anything...
In this enchanting evening,
in this grove of Mandhara flowers,
Female: Mmm mm mm mm
Male: In this enchanting evening,
in this grove of Mandhara flowers,
O dancing dove who comes swaying by,
you are one of a kind, so I got my lucky chance!
Female: Hm-hum!
Male: O dancing dove who comes swaying by,
you are one of a kind, so I got my lucky chance!
This heart of mine can endure anything,
yet this youthful age is trying to trick me.
In the sky of my heart, a rising sun
has just risen anew!
This heart of mine can endure anything...
When I close my eyes, appearing in my dreams
and talking endlessly, is that fair?
Male: Claiming this vibrant Tamil beauty as mine,
is it wrong for me to come?
This heart of mine can endure anything,
Female: yet this youthful age is trying to trick me.
Both: In the sky of my heart, a rising sun
has just risen anew!
