As the sky showers its blessings,
As the clouds shower their blessings,
A new bond begins,
With a gentle drizzle
Scattering drops like flowers,
On this first wedding night.
In the cool breeze, with glances speaking volumes,
At this moment when we become one,
As the sky showers its blessings,
As the clouds shower their blessings,
A new bond begins,
With a gentle drizzle
Scattering drops like flowers,
On this first wedding night.
The sweet wound given by your eyes
Disappears like magic under your gentle touch.
The deep desire awakened by you
Finds its sweet relief in you alone.
In this relentless fire of passion,
My heart softly yearns and pines.
In this silent ache of longing,
It endlessly searches for you.
New poems born from our closeness
Tempt us to experience them again and again.
Aaaa...
As the sky showers its blessings,
As the clouds shower their blessings,
A new bond begins,
With a gentle drizzle
Scattering drops like flowers,
On this first wedding night.
In the cool breeze, with glances speaking volumes,
At this moment when we become one,
As the sky showers its blessings,
As the clouds shower their blessings,
A new bond begins.
Sprinkled with fragrant drops and enchanted,
Our hearts speak through gentle signs.
As the soft breeze gently blows,
Joy sets the stage for romance.
When the edge of your saree sways,
It looks like a lovely crimson design.
With each passing day,
It turns into a charming melody.
Sweet new dreams bringing bliss
Tempt us to experience them again and again.
Aaaa...
As the sky showers its blessings,
As the clouds shower their blessings,
A new bond begins,
With a gentle drizzle
Scattering drops like flowers,
On this first wedding night.
In the cool breeze, with glances speaking volumes,
At this moment when we become one,
As the sky showers its blessings,
As the clouds shower their blessings,
A new bond begins.
Female: Ah... with a gentle drizzle
Scattering drops like flowers,
On this first wedding night.
