Spring has arrived in my flower garden today
Oh flower, little flower, do not sleep
Spring has arrived in my flower garden today
Oh flower, little flower, do not sleep
From now on, my seat is a royal throne
Come, my beauty, my sweet nectar, there are no more tears
It will rain rosewater every day; come close, my son
Spring has arrived in my flower garden today
Oh flower, little flower, do not sleep
At early dawn, a kolam (decorative floor pattern) at the doorstep
Where real diamonds will serve as the dots
A rainbow will come down to the earth
And paint the window bars in bright colors
Ah my love, tall mansions where bright moons stroll around
Fairies will shower garlands upon the chariot of love
The queen of my heart is a wondrous boat on secret rivers
A kingdom of pure happiness...
From now on, my seat is a royal throne
Come, my beauty, my sweet nectar, there are no more tears
It will rain rosewater every day; come close, my son
Spring has arrived in my flower garden today
Oh flower, little flower, do not sleep
When my son wins awards for his studies
And tears of joy well up in the corners of my eyes
Becoming the bridegroom to an auspicious bride
As a grand procession makes its way down royal streets
When the doors of the bridal room close for the loving pair
And a grandson comes opening those doors to play on my lap
While you bathe in the joyful waterfall that my grandson brings
What an overwhelming delight!
From now on, my seat is a royal throne
Come, my beauty, my sweet nectar, there are no more tears
It will rain rosewater every day; come close, my son...
Spring has arrived in my flower garden today
Oh flower, little flower, do not sleep

The past sorrow and tears are replaced with an outpouring of happiness and celebratory rosewater.
