As deer dance, millions of flowers sway
In this garden
As I dance, honey flows sweet
On this young evening
All the flowers in the garden
Are searching for me
As deer dance, millions of flowers sway
In this garden
As I dance, honey flows sweet
On this young evening
Aaa... aaa...
When my anklets chime,
A song rises in the breeze
My bangles beat the rhythm
Thanthan nanna
Thaanan nanna
Thanthan nanna
Thaanan nanna
Oh... sweet honey flows
Down the colorful mountain
Silver waves sparkle in the stream
As playful glances flash and gleam,
As my dress swirls and twirls, oh oh
As deer dance, millions of flowers sway
In this garden
As I dance, honey flows sweet
On this young evening
Aaa... aaa...
Upon the stage of the sky,
Paintings made by rainbows,
And the dance of the clouds
Thanthan nanna
Thaanan nanna
Thanthan nanna
Thaanan nanna
Oh... in a procession flies a colorful parrot,
Singing a sweet melody
As swans prance with joy,
How can I describe this beauty? Oh...
As deer dance, millions of flowers sway
In this garden
As I dance, honey flows sweet
On this young evening
All the flowers in the garden
Are searching for me
As deer dance, millions of flowers sway
In this garden
As I dance, honey flows sweet
On this young evening
