In the lotus flower, hey!
Is my lady's flower-like face, hey!
Every evening from now on,
Is an orchard bearing sweet fruit!
I am a gentle woman living in a flower,
With a loving heart of blossoms!
In the lotus flower, hey!
Is my lady's flower-like face, hey!
Every evening from now on,
Is an orchard bearing sweet fruit!
You are a gentle woman living in a flower,
With a loving heart of blossoms, oh...
The sky and the earth are our witnesses,
The sight of my goddess is not seen every day!
For as long as I live,
My soul will embrace you, oh flower-faced one!
The holy feet of my husband,
Are like sacred scripture to a devoted wife.
Until the day I die,
My head will rest upon my beloved's lap!
I swear upon God's name,
You are my very heart, my dear!
Female: This day will forever be
A day of joy, my lord!
In the lotus flower,
Female: Oh...
Male: Is my lady's flower-like face!
Female: Oh...
Male: Every evening from now on,
Is an orchard bearing sweet fruit!
I am a gentle woman living in a flower,
With a loving heart of blossoms!
In summer, you are Margazhi (the cool winter season); in the cold
Wintry breeze, I am a warm floral ember!
Even a scorching desert
Becomes a blooming oasis when you are near!
Through all the years we live,
It is enough if you are by my side as my partner!
Oh floating cloud of flowers,
Oh monsoon season embracing my soul!
In the night, an endless melody
We shall play together as we live!
Male: Our hearts whisper sweet love,
My graceful swan, my sweet love!
In the lotus flower,
Male: Hey!
Female: Is the lady's flower-like face!
Male: Hey, hey!
Female: Every evening from now on,
Is an orchard bearing sweet fruit!
You are a gentle woman living in a flower,
With a loving heart of blossoms, oh...
