Hey girl... oh, my sweet Ammulu!
Your private secrets are about to be revealed on stage,
and here is a poetry gathering in honor of your love!
Mmm... aha...
Sitting inside my heart,
you rang a temple bell.
Sitting inside my heart,
you rang a temple bell;
and my silence into music,
you translated.
In my once-unyielding heart,
you found a place of your own;
and today, for the chariot of my love,
you pulled the rope.
Sitting inside my heart,
you rang a temple bell;
and my silence into music,
you translated.
Love's messages are written in the eyes,
no spoken language is needed for me to read them.
Female: Love itself came to ask for our consent,
there are no barriers left in this world anymore.
My garden of flowers blushed with shyness...
Female: My womanhood alone is the gift I bring.
Male: Ah...
Female: Aah... aa... aah... aa...
Male: Ah, so this is what a warm embrace feels like!
Sitting inside my heart,
you rang a temple bell;
and my silence into music,
you translated.
In your eyes, of our love,
after catching a preview,
I heard echoes resounding all through my heart.
In the evening, in the grove,
as the gentle breeze blew,
I asked you to meet so we could discover love together.
My darling, I waited for you in the park.
Male: My love, I apologized for being late.
Female: In your eyes...
Male: Aah... aa... aah... aa...
Female: In your eyes, I found bright light and music!
Sitting inside my heart,
you rang a temple bell;
and my silence into music,
you translated.
In my once-unyielding heart,
you found a place of your own;
and today, for the chariot of my love,
you pulled the rope.
Sitting inside my heart,
you rang a temple bell;
and my silence into music,
you translated.
