A moon adorned with a bindi
Is wandering around in celebration today.
A moon adorned with a bindi
Is wandering around in celebration today.
Her heart is a fresh rushing river,
Prancing playfully like a deer.
The clouds drifting across the sky
Pass by to admire me like a prospective bride.
A moon adorned with a bindi
Is wandering around in celebration today.
A moon adorned with a bindi

Her heart is a fresh rushing river,
Prancing playfully like a deer.
The clouds drifting across the sky
Pass by to admire me like a prospective bride.
...
O gentle flower breeze, bring a chariot and come,
I too want to fly up into the sky.
Flocks of cuckoos will gather in my garden,
And even the gods will praise it!
O gentle flower breeze, bring a chariot and come,
I too want to fly up into the sky.
Flocks of cuckoos will gather in my garden,
And even the gods will praise it!
There is no distance between dream and reality now,
There is no sorrow anymore.
A moon adorned with a bindi
Is wandering around in celebration today.

Prancing playfully like a deer.

O golden sky, O golden sky,
Sing along with me!
O flower garden, shower dew-kissed blossoms,
Pure joy has awakened!
The doors of the flowers have opened, my friend,
And drops of dew have trickled down.
A moon adorned with a bindi
Is wandering around in celebration today.
