Your glowing age and youthful charm,
Your tender, baby-soft face,
You sculpt my every thought,
Seeing you, my words turn into poetry here,
I got lost in words,
I got lost in your words.
Hey, my solitary lotus,
An angel who came into my life,
Shall I tie a golden thali (sacred wedding thread) on you, girl,
On my golden island?
Like twin rains falling from the sky,
With all its sweet bliss just for you,
All of my first love,
Shall I gather and give it to you as your treasure?
Running along with you and searching for you,
My heart never comes to a rest, girl.
The words we spoke, deep within me,
Will never fade away, girl.
Oh angel who came looking for me,
With her shimmering half-saree,
An unchanging, magnetic poem,
The light that entered my life!
As all my thoughts fill with bright colors,
Girl, I search only for you,
Wondering when I will finally reach you,
As this loneliness aches today.
Hey, my solitary lotus,
An angel who came into my life,
Shall I tie a golden thali (sacred wedding thread) on you, girl,
On my golden island?
Like twin rains falling from the sky,
With all its sweet bliss just for you,
All of my first love,
Shall I gather and give it to you as your treasure?
Hey, my solitary lotus,
An angel who came into my life,
Shall I tie a golden thali (sacred wedding thread) on you, girl,
On my golden island?
Like twin rains falling from the sky,
With all its sweet bliss just for you,
All of my first love,
Shall I gather and give it to you as your treasure?
Oh queen of dusky beauty,
The queen of my land!
Oh queen of dusky beauty,
The queen of my land!
Can rainclouds exist without water?
Can I exist without you?
Hey, solitary lotus,
Hey, my solitary lotus,
An angel who came into my life,
Shall I tie a golden thali (sacred wedding thread) on you, girl,
On my golden island?
Like twin rains falling from the sky,
With all its sweet bliss just for you,
All of my first love,
Shall I gather and give it to you as your treasure?
Hey, my solitary lotus,
An angel who came into my life,
Shall I tie a golden thali (sacred wedding thread) on you, girl,
On my golden island?
Like twin rains falling from the sky,
With all its sweet bliss just for you,
All of my first love,
Shall I gather and give it to you as your treasure?
