Did the sound of lightning and clouds
pluck a sweet veena?
Did a peacock's feather touch
this singing young heart?
Like a gentle breeze blowing from the hills,
is the sweet fragrance of her hair.
Like a refreshing shower of rain,
are the vibrant shades of her smile... ha.
Did the sound of lightning and clouds
pluck a sweet veena?
Did a peacock's feather touch
this singing young heart?
The melody of this song of longing,
it will bring you home to me.
On her waiting cheeks,
a lovely lotus will blossom.
The blowing sandalwood breeze
will linger and speak with love.
You are my precious darling, come to me,
come, my beloved, come as my wings!
As my companion and my soulmate,
the moment I unite with you,
the heavens will bless us.
Like a gentle breeze blowing from the hills,
is the sweet fragrance of her hair.
Like a refreshing shower of rain,
are the vibrant shades of her smile.
...
I became a colorful garland,
and blended you into my own colors.
In the silent language of our meeting eyes,
I saw a brand-new world in you.
Just like in my sweetest dreams,
I saw your glowing image shine.
To turn that dream into reality, come to me!
Come, my beloved, come as my wings!
As my companion and my soulmate,
the moment I unite with you,
the heavens will bless us.
Like a gentle breeze blowing from the hills,
is the sweet fragrance of her hair.
Like a refreshing shower of rain,
are the vibrant shades of her smile.
Did the sound of lightning and clouds
pluck a sweet veena?
Did a peacock's feather touch
this singing young heart?
