Has love arrived?
Has the rainy sky gifted it?
Has the dove of love perched on the eyes,
And gotten drenched in the drizzle?
Has the heart turned into a rainbow?
On the hill, are you the Andril bird (inseparable lovebird)?
O bright spring moon!
Why did you stand there so shyly?
In the quiet hours of sleep,
Why did you come by my side?
Night and day,
I do not know when they come and go.
What the heart sees within flashes of light,
Even the eyes cannot tell.
Has love arrived?
Has the rainy sky gifted it?
Has the dove of love perched on the eyes,
And gotten drenched in the drizzle?
Has the heart turned into a rainbow?
On the hill, am I the Andril bird (inseparable lovebird)?
To watch the movie 'Padagotti',
A crowd is gathering!
For the very first show together with you,
Shall I take you along?
Oh, you sweet talker,
You are just finding a way to get close to me!
I will not come anywhere, you can go alone!
With you keeping your distance,
And me staying awake all night,
I stand dazed in longing for you!
Just like red henna,
I blush crimson every single day,
Standing shy all because of you!
Come, my life... come, my life!
Hey... oho...
Has love arrived?
Has the rainy sky gifted it?
The dove of love upon the eyes!
For my letter to reach you,
It searches across towns.
To look upon your beloved face,
My heart yearns so much!
For your letter to reach me,
It takes so long!
To make it reach faster,
What new way can we find?
The bloom that the bee comes searching for,
I am that blossoming flower,
Brimming with sweet, pure honey!
To clear all your doubts,
Shall I reach out and touch you?
My golden deer, with the chime of bangles,
Why are you trembling and giggling?
Female: It's true, I am slipping away!
Has love arrived?
Has the rainy sky gifted it?
Has the dove of love perched on the eyes,
And gotten drenched in the drizzle?
Has the heart turned into a rainbow?
On the hill, are you the Andril bird (inseparable lovebird)?
O bright spring moon!
Why did I stand there so shyly?
In the quiet hours of sleep,
Why did I come by your side?
