Making a garden bed of cumin,

making a garden bed of cumin,
tying tassels to every plant,
daughter born to a nobleman,
O girl who walks like a swan,
should you be sitting and hiding from bush to bush?
O young girl with a graceful walk!
Making a garden bed of coriander,
tying tassels in thick clusters,
daughter born to the royal lord,
O girl who walks like a swan,
making a garden bed of coriander,
tying tassels in thick clusters,
daughter born to the royal lord,
O girl who walks like a swan,
should you be sitting and hiding from vine to vine?
O young girl with a graceful walk!
Turmeric from the town of Kanchi,
bunches of turmeric from Kannan's shop,
I spotted them and bought them for you,
O girl who walks like a swan,
turmeric from the town of Kanchi,
bunches of turmeric from Kannan's shop,
I spotted them and bought them for you,
O girl who walks like a swan,
for you to bathe pure like Kannagi,
O young girl with a graceful walk!
Turmeric from the green country town,
bunches of turmeric from the silk shop,
I carefully chose and bought them for you,
O girl who walks like a swan,
turmeric from the green country town,
bunches of turmeric from the silk shop,
I carefully chose and bought them for you,
O girl who walks like a swan,
for you to bathe gently and with care,
O young girl with a graceful walk!
A ring set with five stones,
a ruby shaped like a flower bud,
crafted by the master goldsmith,
O girl who walks like a swan,
a ring set with five stones,
a ruby shaped like a flower bud,
crafted by the master goldsmith,
O girl who walks like a swan,
I bought it for you with deep yearning,
O young girl with a graceful walk!
A ring set with ten stones,
precious rubies chosen with great care,
crafted by the city's finest jeweler,
