As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
Sounds spreading gently through the air,
Eyes drifting softly in a dream,
I saw them, my love, my love...
Oh, melody born of love,
Song gifted by my mother,
Melody born of love,
Song gifted by my mother,
I will sing of you forever, and in my heart,
The sweet honey of joy will overflow...
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
The cuckoo sings, the mango tree blossoms,
As clouds drift in to sing a lullaby,
The golden peacock dances, white mist falls softly,
As the whole earth cradles everything in love...
As banyan roots sway, a swing of desires sways upon them,
As banyan roots sway, a swing of desires sways upon them,
A graceful procession of swans,
Sa Ga Ri Ma Ga Ma Ma Dha Pa Ni Dha Sa Ri Nee Nee
A garland woven of musical notes,
Songs of love are singing everywhere!
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
To the magical tune of Madhavan's (Lord Krishna's) flute,
As women dance, forgetting themselves,
In the warm touch of the sun's golden rays, my precious,
Golden waves ripple across the river,
In the morning dew, the rose dances, singing a new poem,
In the morning dew, the rose dances, singing a new poem,
A wonder of nature,
Sa Ga Ri Ma Ga Ma Ma Dha Pa Ni Dha Sa Ri Nee Nee
A painted rainbow in the sky,
Songs of love are singing everywhere!
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
Sounds spreading gently through the air,
Eyes drifting softly in a dream,
I saw them, my love, my love...
Oh, melody born of love,
Song gifted by my mother,
Melody born of love,
Song gifted by my mother,
I will sing of you forever, and in my heart,
The sweet honey of joy will overflow...
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze,
As the waves run, playfully caressing,
{As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze} (4)
Chorus: {As the waves run, playfully caressing,
As flowers dance in the summer breeze} (2) with claps...
