As the spring season offers its blessings,
My beloved sister has blossomed.
Her look as a beautiful bride,
I envisioned it in my mind's eye.

You are a flower garland of the temple,
A sweet garland of songs...

My beloved sister has blossomed.
Mother is like a banyan tree, nurturing you with love,
And I am like a little branch, bathing you with tender tears.

Even if I move away from you, this heart will never change.

The elder brother, the mother's firstborn son,
I would say he is a god to us.
May our brother's caring duties continue further,
I shower my blessings upon him.
