Today is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
Today is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
The day new bonds were born, the day the world was forgotten.
She lit a lamp in the womb's sanctum and melted with love.
Today is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
When Kamadeva (the god of love)
Placed his first mark upon you,
And the god called Time
Set his eyes upon you...
The bed itself will tell the story it saw,
But shouldn't you share it too?
From now on, rock the cradle and sing a lullaby,
Ah... ah... ah... aahh...
Rock the cradle and sing a lullaby,
And return to the bed to cherish your love once more!
May all goodness surround you,
May the blessed flowers and turmeric thrive forever!
This day is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
By lighting a lamp in my womb,
I have become a temple myself.
Blessed with motherhood,
Today, I have become two souls.
From the rainbow with threads of lightning,
Won't I tie a cradle?
There is a gentle flutter inside this flower...
Ah... ah... ah... aahh...
There is a gentle flutter inside this flower,
A tiny chariot procession rolls deep within my belly!
Her entire life becomes a prayer,
And the coming child is the divine blessing.
This day is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
Today is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
The day new bonds were born, the day the world was forgotten.
She lit a lamp in the womb's sanctum and melted with love.
Today is an auspicious day; the new moon wears flowers.
