Seeing the lush green garden,
A longing cloud
Girds itself up and dances,
Singing a song of love!
When I dance... and you dance,
Won't the sky dance along?
A song and a tune,
Coming together side by side,
Bring a wonderful delight
That caresses the heart today!
A cloud of flowers... cradles
The crimson evening sky!
Sometimes, seeing your subtle glances,
My desires overflow their bounds!
Sometimes, seeing your subtle glances,
My desires overflow their bounds!
As flowers bloom, turn rosy red,
And fall across the stage,
Won't they sing a melody?
Won't they sing of longing?
Seeing the lush green garden,
A longing cloud
Girds itself up and dances,
Singing a song of love!
When I dance... and you dance,
Won't the sky dance along?
Sweet honey...
Colorful vines forming a canopy,
A thousand deer
Visiting in graceful gatherings,
A golden drizzle of rain,
Rushing streams of mountain waterfalls,
Let our hearts
Sing along in a sweet rhythm!
A song and a tune,
Coming together side by side,
Bring a wonderful delight
That caresses the heart today!
A cloud of flowers... cradles
The crimson evening sky!
I...
The youthful shades that I fondly hold,
In this land,
The pure gold that sparkles,
The beds of flowers,
The affectionate hearts that Tamil gives us,
May your graceful body
Become my greatest treasure!
A song and a tune,
Coming together side by side,
Bring a wonderful delight
That caresses the heart today!
A cloud of flowers... cradles
The crimson evening sky!
Seeing the lush green garden,
A longing cloud
Girds itself up and dances,
Singing a song of love!
When I dance... and you dance,
Won't the sky dance along?
