An angel has arrived
Searching for you
She has come to place colourful garlands
Arriving on a golden chariot
An angel has arrived
Searching for me
She has come to place colourful garlands
Arriving on a golden chariot
To live together for hundreds of lifetimes
To stay joined like flowers woven on a thread
To light lamps and pull the chariot together
To hold you close in a garden of sarees
To gather blossoms from your smile
An angel has arrived
Searching for me
She has come to place colourful garlands
Arriving on a golden chariot
From every blooming plant
And from every smiling flower
I asked for your whereabouts
Bringing all eight directions together
And turning them into a single path
I waited eagerly for your arrival
Deep in my eyes is your reflection
Deep in my heart is your rhythm
I gave you all of my heart
I gave myself completely to you
So you can walk safely in my shadow
I placed you inside my very soul
An angel has arrived
Searching for me
She has come to place colourful garlands
Arriving on a golden chariot
Aaaa aaaa aa aha
Aaha haa aah
Planting rose bushes
And watering them with my very life
I will grow flowers for your hair
When my blushing rose
Steps out into the open
I will forbid the harsh sunlight from touching her
My love, fearing your tender feet might hurt
I will pave your path with soft flowers
My darling, so I can always live in your fragrance
I will ask the breeze for its advice
So you can walk safely in my shadow
I placed you inside my very soul
An angel has arrived
Searching for you
She has come to place colourful garlands
Arriving on a golden chariot
To live together for hundreds of lifetimes
To stay joined like flowers woven on a thread
To light lamps and pull the chariot together
To hold you close in a garden of sarees
To gather blossoms from your smile
{ La la laala laala la... la la laa la la } (2)
