Oh Sunandha, Sunandha!
She walked in with pure bliss,
Filling my life like sweet honey,
For the very first time!
Like the wind without any reins,
Like a fragrance without any shape,
Why is my heart overflowing today?
You are like the sea foam,
And I am like the wave!
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Oh Sunandha, Sunandha.. ooh-hoo..
She walked in with pure bliss.. yeah yeah yeah...
...
When the rain falls,
The peacock begins to dance.
Under the weight of dew drops,
The flower tilts to one side.
Yesterday, I was a different man,
Today, I have become pure white snow.
The days of the waning moon are gone,
The moon in the sky is full and bright!
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Oh Sunandha, Sunandha!
She walked in with pure bliss,
...
In eyes awakening from sleep,
Lie the dreams of new days.
Among the nine precious gems,
Stand rare emeralds and corals.
The fireflies gather together,
And gossip all the time.
Though he is a stranger to her,
A woman's heart aims its arrows at him.
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Oh Sunandha, Sunandha!
She walked in with pure bliss... ooh-whoa...
Filling my life like sweet honey... yeah yeah yeah...
For the very first time!
Like the wind without any reins... yeah...
Like a fragrance without any shape... yeah yeah yeah...
Why is my heart overflowing today?
You are like the sea foam,
And I am like the wave!
Aah.. aah.. aah.. ooh.. ho..
Aah.. aah.. aah..
Aah.. aah.. aah.. yeah.. ooh.. ooh..

Beyond the translation

Inspired by the captivating presence of Sunandha, the protagonist feels an overwhelming sense of liberation, comparing his heart to unbridled wind, formless fragrance, and ocean waves carrying delicate sea foam.
