Ah… ah… ah… A sweet, fragrant spring,
this heart feels dazed and enchanted.
Sleeping peacock, wake up and dance to me!
Sweet dream, come and give me sweet nectar!
Ah… ah… ah… A sweet, fragrant spring,
this heart feels dazed and enchanted.
The dearest lord of my life, a devoted servant of love,
will pour sweet nectar every single day.
Male: The flower-eyed lady, an enchanting woman with her sweet smile,
will bathe in pure joy.
Every night will be Diwali (festival of lights),
Male: and even at dawn, a sweet Geetanjali (song offering) will echo.
Female: Ah… ah… ah… A sweet, fragrant spring,
this heart feels dazed and enchanted.
The poetic cloud will shower a rain of flowers,
so that my precious son can bathe in it.
Male: Great heights in learning,
and wisdom in your eyes—won't they all come to you, my treasure?
Sweet nectar will overflow across the whole heart…
Male: Along our son's path, trees will scatter flowers.
Ah… ah… ah… A sweet, fragrant spring,
this heart feels dazed and enchanted.
Like a blooming sandalwood tree offering overflowing nectar,
the wedding day too will arrive.
Female: At the hour of love, on the auspicious wedding stage,
she will arrive like a grove adorned with blossoms.
Male: A rainy season of tears fills my eyes;
Female: through these overflowing drops, may you live long, dear daughter!
