A colorful garden spreading its fragrance

Chorus: La la la la la la
A colorful garden spreading its fragrance
Chorus: La la la la la la
Female: The moment you arrived at my doorstep
Chorus: La la la la la la
With a leaping heart, gathering you, my little one, in my arms
With a leaping heart, gathering you, my little one, in my arms
I reached the heights of bliss
And lovingly called you my child
A son to carry on my name,
I never had one until this day
You arrived to take that sorrow away
Making me embrace you as a child born of my own womb
That Lord Krishna
Stole only butter
But this little Krishna stole my heart long ago
I reached the heights of bliss
A colorful garden spreading its fragrance
Chorus: La la la la la la
Female: The moment you arrived at my doorstep
Chorus: La la la la la la
A few drops of water from the sea
Drift across the sky as clouds
Those clouds turn into rain
And fall back into the ocean once again
There must have been a bond from a past life,
For you to have arrived here as my child
I reached the heights of bliss
And lovingly called you my child
A colorful garden spreading its fragrance
Chorus: La la la la la la
Male: The moment you arrived at my doorstep
Chorus: La la la la la la
A colorful garden spreading its fragrance
Chorus: La la la la la la

Chorus: La la la la la la
With a leaping heart, gathering you, my little one, in my arms
With a leaping heart, gathering you, my little one, in my arms
Female: I reached the heights of bliss
And lovingly called you my child...
