You are my heart's very own,
My lord,
I surrender at your feet.
Is there a living god like you,
An embodiment of such boundless mercy?
Your graceful walk is pure beauty,
Your delicate charm is like a necklace of gold.
Your graceful walk is pure beauty, oh Rathi (goddess of beauty),
Your delicate charm is like a necklace of gold.
I feasted my eyes upon you, oh Varalakshmi (goddess of fortune),
And locked you safely inside my heart.
Hmm mm mm, hmm mm mm
Ho oh oh oh, ho oh oh
You are the jasmine of love, a garden where gentle breezes blow,
Your words are drops of honey, the sweetest height of desire.
Oh bright white moon, just like my heart today,
Be joyful and shower your grace, oh my companion!
Your graceful walk is pure beauty, oh Rathi,
Your delicate charm is like a necklace of gold.
Your graceful walk is pure beauty.
Ho oh oh oh, ho oh oh
You are the mango grove, the nectar of flowers, and spring itself,
You are the life-giving light and the guiding star.
You are the goddess Varalakshmi who came to dwell in my home.
Be joyful and shower your grace, oh my companion!
Your graceful walk is pure beauty, oh Rathi,
Your delicate charm is like a necklace of gold.
I feasted my eyes upon you, oh Varalakshmi,
And locked you safely inside my heart.
Hmm mm mm, hmm mm mm
