Golden parrot, my golden parrot!
Stringing desires together, oh flower,
Pierce into the depth of my heart,
And heal all my sorrow, my flower, flower!
My heart floats light as cotton,
Just seeing you makes me forget my age!
Your anklets chime sweet as honey,
Cleanse my heart with a glance of your eyes!
You are a golden mango,
A pure white drop of dew,
Unseen by this entire world,
You are my Rambha (heavenly dancer)!
Golden parrot, my golden parrot!
Stringing desires together, oh flower, flower,
Pierce into the depth of my heart,
And heal all my sorrow, my flower!
Flower, flower, flower!
Shall I hold your hand?
Shall I make a home in your eyes?
In the time meant just for you,
Shall I read all your thoughts,
And fulfill every one of them?
Just being there for you is enough.
O beauty carved from red sandalwood,
I must confess my love to you without ever stopping!
A life the whole world will look at in wonder,
That is the life we must live forever!
You are my precious darling,
You are the light of my eyes,
Unseen by this entire world,
You are my Rambha (heavenly dancer)!
Golden parrot, my golden parrot!
Stringing desires together, oh flower,
Pierce into the depth of my heart,
And heal all my sorrow, my flower!
Flower, flower!
My heart floats light as cotton,
Just seeing you makes me forget my age!
Your anklets chime sweet as honey,
Cleanse my heart with a glance of your eyes!
You are a golden mango,
A pure white drop of dew,
Unseen by this entire world,
You are my Rambha (heavenly dancer)!
