O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
The season of spring
Has come searching for us... ooh...
A melody of love
Come here to sing it... ooh hoo...
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
The season of spring
Has come searching for us... ooh...
A melody of love
Come here to sing it... ooh hoo...
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower
Riding a chariot of flowers
We will go on a procession
We shall go on a joyful ride
On a swing made of a rainbow
We will sway together
Yes, we will sway together
You are Saraswati herself
Plucking the strings of the veena
And you are the divine song
Sung by sage Narada
Like a passing blue cloud
Like a singing skylark
The cuckoos of the grove
Have now paired up together... ooh...
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
The season of spring
Has come searching for us... ooh...
A melody of love
Come here to sing it... ooh hoo...
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower...
For a thousand ages
We must live our lives
We must live together
Like a tender mother
You must support and protect me
You must hold me close
Leaping and flowing forward
Like the River Cauvery
Like a living portrait, a graceful
Menaka (heavenly dancer)
The deity of the temple
The glowing light of a sacred lamp
The wedding drums and beats
Must resound in celebration... ooh hoo...
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
The season of spring
Has come searching for us... ooh...
A melody of love
Come here to sing it... ooh hoo...
O Parijatha flower
Honey of the heavenly world
O Parijatha flower...
