My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls
My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls
In the quiet night when the town is asleep
How much longing burns in these young hearts!
In the quiet night when the town is asleep
How much longing burns in these young hearts!
Bathe and rejoice, my young peacock
Until the rooster crows at dawn
My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls
When clothes are drenched wet
Won't the fire of desire be lit?
Oh goodness, won't a playful calf
Gently wag its tail?
Embracing body to body
Can't we perform a sacred ritual of love?
Close to your ear, won't this blossoming girl
Whisper sweet chants of love?
Like a flash of electric lightning
Slowly surging through
An unplayed veena (stringed instrument)
Rests upon your chest
A new melody on its strings
Is born in just a moment
My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls
Feet caressed by jingling anklets
Are they a bouquet of fresh flowers?
Every part of you that I touch
Is it sweet sugar candy?
To make a home inside the blossom
Are you a golden bee?
Has there ever been a day
That I haven't spent thinking of you?
When the sky bursts open
And pours down rain
Who is here to stop us
And say this is wrong?
Why has one half turned so cool
While the other half burns boiling hot?
My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls
My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls
In the quiet night when the town is asleep
How much longing burns in these young hearts!
In the quiet night when the town is asleep
How much longing burns in these young hearts!
Bathe and rejoice, my young peacock
Until the rooster crows at dawn
My dear, I surrender completely
Upon your lap
A restlessness stirs within the heart
Whenever the rain falls

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This romantic track captures the passionate dialogue and intimate feelings between two lovers on a rainy night while the world around them slumbers. Rain serves as the central atmospheric element, symbolizing awakening desires, warmth amidst cool weather, and the surrender of love. The song poetically contrasts the stillness of the night with the emotional surge felt by the couple, using rich metaphors of nature, music, and divine refuge.
