With prayers made to God,
this darling parrot has joined me!
For as long as this earth lasts,
this tale of love will live on!
O precious pearl, O fine silk,
fashioned from rubies and pearls,
you are a living portrait!
With prayers made to God,
this darling parrot has joined me!
For as long as this earth lasts,
this tale of love will live on!
A cuckoo that never sang, a peacock that never danced,
that was what I used to be.
Like the gentle breeze that flows through flowers,
when you reached me, I came to life.
By God's own divine decree,
you came and joined this doe.
Tasting sweet honey to my heart's content,
I chose you today as mine.
My lifelong companion, come hold me close,
shining bright like the full moon,
O beautiful girl who is my own!
With prayers made to God,
this darling parrot has joined me!
For as long as this earth lasts,
this tale of love will live on!
O precious pearl, O fine silk,
fashioned from rubies and pearls,
you are a living portrait!
With prayers made to God,
this darling parrot has joined me!
For as long as this earth lasts,
this tale of love will live on!
Rising over the Cauvery dam,
the river rushes swiftly along;
the destiny that unites you with gentle, flower-like me
is God's unchanging holy word.
This earth below, just like heaven above,
I saw it transform before my eyes.
Finding such true joy in this lifetime,
I asked for a way to live like this forever.
O colorful dream, O shining round moon,
bringing all kinds of sweet delights,
you are a lovely vision come true!
With prayers made to God,
this darling parrot has joined me!
For as long as this earth lasts,
this tale of love will live on!
O precious pearl, O fine silk,
fashioned from rubies and pearls,
you are a living portrait!
With prayers made to God,
this darling parrot has joined me!
For as long as this earth lasts,
this tale of love will live on!
