When our eyes close,

and shyness overflows its bounds,

with no one anywhere around,

oh dear, what will happen?

Half from that rainbow,

and the rest from the bright white moon,

she arrived in the form of a woman... Is it her? Is it really her?

Striking like rain and lightning,

chanting magical spells,

he conquered my dreams... Is it him? Is it really him?

Racing with each other, both my eyes

rush forward just to gaze at you.

When you stand before me, even my eyelids

feel like a heavy burden... Oh, is it her?

Oh, is it really her?

When our eyes close,

and shyness overflows its bounds,

with no one anywhere around,

oh dear, what will happen?

A thousand different questions,

and all the answers lie in your eyes.

At the end of an answer,

if many more questions arise, that is love.

When you walk all alone

down the street, it is pure beauty.

Like a thread strung through a flower,

the whole street appears to be.

As a sweet fever swims through me,

I turned into a flowing river.

Is it him? Is it really him?

Holding an umbrella over herself,

I see a shower of rain walking toward me.

A life without her,

I realize, would be a mistake.

Oh, that subtle glance of your eyes,

and your calm, gentle smile,

instantly stir my very soul,

sending a sudden shiver through my body.

Like a kolam (traditional floor art) blown away by the wind,

I forget all about yesterday.

Is it her? Oh, is it really her?

When our eyes close,

and shyness overflows its bounds,

with no one anywhere around,

oh dear, what will happen?
