O fresh, new blossom,

Shall I tell you my desire?

O fresh, new blossom,

Shall I tell you my desire?

I kept it safe and hidden away,

Shall I speak my heart's language?

I open my heart and ask you,

Let me see what you will give me.

In my heart, I imagined so many things,

Day after day,

I nurtured dreams... and yearned for you.

O fresh, new blossom,

Shall I tell you my desire?

My sweet little parrot,

You must bathe me,

And with the end of your sari,

Dry me gently.

Like a stone statue,

You must stand still,

While gazing into your eyes,

I should comb your hair.

You must come

And lay out the leaf for dining,

And I must come

To serve the food.

My eyelids and your eyes

Must close together as one,

And both of us must sing

The very same melody,

I must search for myself within you.

O fresh, new blossom,

Shall I tell you my desire?

In your gentle lap,

I want to rest my head,

And verses of Kamban's poetry,

You must softly recite.

Holding you close in my arms,

I want to fall asleep,

While your soft fingers

Stroke through my hair.

In your eyes,

I must find sweet comfort,

And warm away the chill

In tears of tender joy.

Between our lips,

Let there be distance,

But deep within our souls,

We must merge as one.

We must care for each other like mother and child.

O fresh, new blossom,

Shall I tell you my desire?

I kept it safe and hidden away,

Shall I speak my heart's language?

I open my heart and ask you,

Let me see what you will give me.

In my heart, I imagined so many things,

Day after day,

I nurtured dreams... and yearned for you.
