Holding love in your eyes,
oh, you who almost killed me,
like a wild jasmine flower,
you spread your fragrance and walked away.
I need another lifetime,
my girl, to live again,
Female: To stay by your side forever from now on.
When you smile, all the flowers in the world bloom.
Holding love in your eyes,
oh, you who almost killed me,
like a wild jasmine flower,
you spread your fragrance and walked away.
There are paths leading here and there,
yet without going anywhere, I remain right here.
The poems she writes
are a blessing that shapes who I am.
If you give me just one glance, I will give you myself.
If you speak just one word, I will cherish it in my heart.
That I am your golden sky forever,
is what I will always say.
Holding love in your eyes,
oh, you who almost killed me,
like a wild jasmine flower,
you spread your fragrance and walked away.
Time will pass and sights will change,
but my only true bond will always be you.
Female: There are stories across the whole world,
yet among those stories, am I a poem?
When the dew drops of Margazhi (winter season) fall,
she will arrive on a chariot of gentle breeze just for us.
Female: Even if life parts from my body,
I will never leave your side.
Holding love in your eyes,
oh, you who almost killed me,
like a wild jasmine flower,
you spread your fragrance and walked away.
I need another lifetime,
my girl, to live again,
Female: To stay by your side forever from now on.
When you smile, all the flowers in the world bloom.
Holding love in your eyes,
oh, you who almost killed me,
like a wild jasmine flower,
you spread your fragrance and walked away.
