In this heart, there is a sweetness, a new delight,
It lulls me like a lullaby and feeds me honey-sweet joy.
In this heart, there is a sweetness, a new delight,
It lulls me like a lullaby and feeds me honey-sweet joy.
The cool breeze upon the red water lily
Plays restlessly without ever being told to stop.
With a song in my thoughts,
Listening to it forever,
My heart bathes in love with you.
Feeding me honey-sweet joy.
In this heart, there is a sweetness, a new delight,
It lulls me like a lullaby and feeds me honey-sweet joy.
Deep black eyes, enchanting words,
O Rathi (goddess of love) who gave me bliss, come to me!
Female: Ah... ah...
Male: Hair where the gentle breeze floats, lips dipped in honey,
Embracing me, give them to me... only you...
Female: Ah... ah...
Deep black eyes, enchanting words,
O Rathi who gave me bliss, come to me!
Female: Mmm...
Male: Hair where the gentle breeze floats, lips dipped in honey,
Embracing me, give them to me... only you...
This is an unknown, new melody of longing,
An unceasing rhythm within my heart.
To give upon my lips forever,
To drink every day with that sweet memory...
In this heart, there is a sweetness...
Female: Ah...
Male: A new delight...
Female: Aah...
Male: It lulls me like a lullaby...
Female: Haah...
Male: Feeding me honey-sweet joy.
Your face in my heart, the bliss shared in person,
As this girl surrendered into your care...
Male: Ah... ah...
Female: In tender moments, spreading a new bed,
Sweet intoxication is needed in overflowing measure every day.
Male: Ah... ah...
Your face in my heart, the bliss shared in person,
As this girl surrendered into your care...
Male: Mmm...
Female: In tender moments, spreading a new bed,
Sweet intoxication is needed in overflowing measure every day.
My darling, you are my wedded Sita,
The Radha who joined hands with Krishna!
Thinking of the girl who walked in with tiny gentle steps,
Brings a sweet intoxication every single day.
In this heart, there is a sweetness,
Male: Ah... a new delight!
It lulls me like a lullaby...
Female: Ah... feeding me honey-sweet joy!
Male: Ah... feeding me honey-sweet joy!
Female: Ah... feeding me honey-sweet joy!
