from now on, life is Anandabhairavi (a joyful melody).

Springtime and the rainy season,
with a gentle breeze playing sweet music,
handsome Kama (god of love) and Rathi,
riding their decorated chariot.
Springtime and the rainy season,
with a gentle breeze playing sweet music,
handsome Kama (god of love) and Rathi,
riding their decorated chariot.
Welcoming us like fresh petals,
flowers are strewn across the wedding stage.
Announcing that the future belongs to us,
the mango leaves sway gently.
This world is sweet, and everything blooms anew.

Half in her graceful walk, half in her stylish dress,
a teasing drama casts its net.
Like a moving temple chariot,
like a shrine veiled behind a curtain.
Ah... half in her graceful walk, half in her stylish dress,
a teasing drama casts its net.
Like a moving temple chariot,
like a shrine veiled behind a curtain.
Resting in the fragrant floral breeze,
two eyes gaze at the sweet fruit.
Wondering what taste it holds,
honeyed words gently test its sweetness.
The river waves rise and overflow the banks.
The river waves rise and overflow the banks.
