The heart melts like snow
Her touch brushes against my soul
The dream fades as our eyes meet
The dream fades as our eyes meet
From now on, a dance of love will happen in the skies, my life
The heart, it melts like snow
His touch brushes against my soul
Did the bright white moon come
and rest upon my shoulder?
Has it settled beside me on the mat without a flaw?
From a schoolboy's hand,
should I learn a lesson?
Or on the chest of the teacher,
should I drift to sleep?
A kiss of the lips writes our destiny,
his glory rises as high as the Himalayas.
My love, stand guard and wait,
call upon Kamadevan (god of love) tomorrow.
Enough of this loneliness now,
give your hand to this fiery youth.
The heart melts like snow
His touch brushes against my soul
What was kept safe in my heart for ages
grew a little frightened when it was stolen away.
For the girl in the sky, the clouds became a saree.
She tries to hide her beauty, while desire yearns.
I read only a single line of poetry,
and I understood the poet's heart.
Is that enough? Lean on this farmer's shoulder,
and wrap yourself in the blanket.
Like me with the moon,
grow close every day and reach out to touch.
The heart melts like snow
Her touch brushes against my soul
The dream fades as our eyes meet
The dream fades as our eyes meet
From now on, a dance of love will happen in the skies, my life
The heart, it melts like snow
His touch brushes against my soul
