A beautiful road made of a rainbow,
but there is no way to walk on it.
The stars wink and call out,
but there are no nets to catch them.
Those clouds are like a soft cotton bed,
but there is no way to sleep on them.
The moon is only there to be admired,
there are no comforts to live on it.
My little dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Why did you smile so mysteriously?
Why did you snip away at my life?
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder,
and fold me up like a blanket.
You cross all limits and sneak into my heart,
and walk through a secret tunnel.
My little dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Pinching me little by little,
you steal me away, you clever girl.
Chanting 'Murugan, Murugan',
you are the Valli who turns me into a beggar!
Ruling over me every day by threatening me with love,
you are a dictator king.
Calling me 'Radha, Radha',
you are the Kannan (Krishna) who melts me like butter.
My love, when you blushed with shyness,
I became a painter.
My love, when you became my sweetheart,
I turned into an angel.
When I close my eyes, you appear on my eyelids;
tell me, girl, how can I sleep?
When I go to bathe, you follow me there;
tell me, boy, how can I bathe?
My little dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder,
and fold me up like a blanket.
You cross all limits and enter my heart,
and walk through a secret tunnel.
Look, just like a balloon, my heart
is flying away into the air!
The air filled inside it
is the breath you gave me.
Look, just like a flower, my soul
is blossoming in full bloom now!
The sweet fragrance inside it
is the love you gave me.
Is it night or day right now?
Is this sunshine or rain?
Everything feels the same here,
as long as we are together.
The earth is slipping away, the sky is slipping away,
and another planet is calling out to us.
Declaring us the greatest lovers of all,
love itself is sending us its greetings!
My little dove, why did you wink at me?
Why did you cast a spell on my heart?
Why did you smile so mysteriously?
Why did you snip away at my life?
You snatch the towel resting on my shoulder,
and fold me up like a blanket.
You cross all limits and sneak into my heart,
and walk through a secret tunnel.
