Through the language of your eyes,
I searched for myself.
My eyes were stunned with wonder,

I searched for myself.
My eyes were stunned with wonder,

Thim thakita thaka thillana,
Nagirdhom nagirdhom thillana,
Thim thakita thaka thillana,
O queen of my love!
Thim thakita thaka thillana,
Nagirdhom nagirdhom thillana,
Thim thakita thaka thillana,
Are you my beloved darling?
O red lotus, O great wave of deep love,
by your beauty, your sheer beauty,
I was completely enchanted, my love!
Hey red lotus, O great wave of deep love,
by your beauty, your sheer beauty,
I was completely enchanted, my love!
Time flew by like the wind,
and my heart said this is love.
Just like today, it longs every day,
and your love makes me shiver with joy.
O golden lotus, O star of my love,
by your beauty, your sheer beauty,
I was completely enchanted, my love!
O golden lotus, O star of my love,
by your beauty, your sheer beauty,
I was completely enchanted, my love!
O red lotus, O great wave of deep love,
by your beauty, your sheer beauty,
I was completely enchanted, my love!
O golden lotus, O star of my love,
by your beauty, your sheer beauty,
I was completely enchanted, my love!
Time flew by like the wind,
and my heart said this is love.
Just like today, it longs every day,
and your love makes me shiver with joy.
