Who came, oh who came,
And stayed in my heart, tell me, dear parrot?
Who gave, oh who gave,
Their sweet consent, tell me, dear parrot?
Who spoke, who chanted a magical spell?
Who is it, dear parrot? Who is it, dear parrot?
Tell me, dear parrot! Tell me, dear parrot!
Who came, oh who came,
And stayed in my heart, tell me, dear parrot?
Who gave, oh who gave,
Their sweet consent, tell me, dear parrot?
Who spoke, who chanted a magical spell?
Who is it, dear parrot? Who is it, dear parrot?
Tell me, dear parrot... oh, tell me, dear parrot!
Like a deer, my youthful heart
Gently leaps and dances—because of whom?
Like the rushing waters of a river,
Joy keeps overflowing—because of whom?
Who is that great king
Who came looking for me?
Why did he fill this young heart
With so much longing?
Is he a king, a prince of the south?
Or is he the son of Manmathan (the god of love)?
Tell me what he means to me, sweet green parrot!
Who came, oh who came,
And stayed in my heart, tell me, dear parrot?
Who gave, oh who gave,
Their sweet consent, tell me, dear parrot?
Who spoke, who chanted a magical spell?
Who is it, dear parrot? Who is it, dear parrot?
Tell me, dear parrot! Tell me, dear parrot!
Who came, oh who came,
And stayed in my heart, tell me, dear parrot?
Who gave, oh who gave,
Their sweet consent, tell me, dear parrot?
...
Like a sweet, soothing song,
The gentle breeze whispered by my ear.
As if joining a grand parade somewhere,
My wandering thoughts have drifted away at this hour.
Every place that my eyes see
Looks completely fresh and new.
For my eyes to behold such wonder,
Who brought this magical change to my gaze?
Placing so much beauty in my eyes and walking away,
What is his bond with me?
Is he my own kin or a soul connection? Tell me, sweet parrot!
Who came, oh who came,
And stayed in my heart, tell me, dear parrot?
Who gave, oh who gave,
Their sweet consent, tell me, dear parrot?
Who spoke, who chanted a magical spell?
Who is it, dear parrot? Who is it, dear parrot?
Tell me, dear parrot! Tell me, dear parrot!
Who came, oh who came,
And stayed in my heart, tell me, dear parrot?
Who gave, oh who gave,
Their sweet consent, tell me, dear parrot?
