An angel has arrived
searching just for you.
She came to exchange colorful garlands,
riding on a golden chariot.
An angel has arrived
searching just for you.
She came to exchange colorful garlands,
riding on a golden chariot.
To live together for a hundred lifetimes,
to stay united like flowers woven on a thread,
to light lamps and pull the chariot,
to hold you close in an embrace like a blossoming garden,
to gather flowers from a sweet smile...
An angel has arrived
searching just for you.
She came to exchange colorful garlands,
riding on a golden chariot.
From every blooming plant
and every smiling flower,
he kept asking for your name.
Bringing all eight directions together
and turning them into a single path,
he kept waiting for your arrival.
Keeping you safely within his eyes,
holding love deep inside his heart,
giving his heart away completely,
surrendering himself totally to you,
to live under your gentle shadow,
to become one with your soul...
An angel has arrived
searching just for you.
Calling you his sweet little parrot,
and asking you to sleep on his chest,
he will sing you a song like a gentle breeze.
If your body ever feels tired or in pain,
he will bring down the clouds,
make a soft bed, and spread flowers over it.
With the stars from the sky
setting the guide dots at the doorstep,
he will bring down the rainbow
to draw colorful kolam (traditional decorative patterns),
tattooing it on the palm of his hand
just to speak your name...
An angel has arrived
searching just for you.
She came to exchange colorful garlands,
riding on a golden chariot.
To live together for a hundred lifetimes,
to stay united like flowers woven on a thread,
to light lamps and pull the chariot,
to hold you close in an embrace like a blossoming garden,
to gather flowers from a sweet smile...
An angel has arrived
searching just for you.
She came to exchange colorful garlands,
riding on a golden chariot.
