I speak, I speak the language of love,
Silently, I speak through my eyes.
Who is this village angel?
What can I say? My heart is aching!
It longs to carry her away,
My heart crying, 'She is mine, all mine...'
Go on, man, sweep her up and take her away!
Who here is going to question you?
God from up above
is watching over like a witness...
I speak, I speak the language of love,
Silently, I speak through my eyes...
I became like a threshing floor beaten by harvest,
I became like a pond stirred by a thrown stone,
Darling, because your glance fell on me...
Something has come over me,
Whatever I see turns into you,
Now that love has taken deep root.
I want to turn into your half-sari,
and rest gently upon your shoulders.
Your slender waist, your braided hair, your walk,
sway gracefully like a blooming vine,
while my heart, like a shadow,
comes running behind you...
I speak, I speak the language of love,
Silently, I speak through my eyes...
Walking back and forth,
shaking and chiming,
won't your anklets sing a song?
Like a grand chariot pulled by ropes,
like water breaking through field ridges,
won't my heart surge and dance?
I am consulting the calendar,
I am asking the priest,
my peacock, to find the date
when I will marry you...
And on our first night, I will tell you
everything else that remains...
I speak, I speak the language of love,
Silently, I speak through my eyes.
Who is this village angel?
What can I say? My heart is aching!
It longs to carry her away,
My heart crying, 'She is mine, all mine...'
Go on, man, sweep her up and take her away!
Who here is going to question you?
God from up above
is watching over like a witness...
