Oh charmer, to sweeten my heart,
it is enough if I could just sleep on your golden lap.
The moment my eyes drift into sleep,
the longings of past lifetimes will be satisfied.
Oh charmer, to sweeten my heart,
it is enough if I could just sleep on your golden lap.
The moment my eyes drift into sleep,
the longings of past lifetimes will be satisfied.
That I love and that I breathe is all because of your grace, isn't it?
I yearn and linger, lost in thoughts of you all by myself.
A heavy downpour will come, and we shall get soaked in it;
a warm closeness alongside a chilly fever,
the two of us sleeping under a single blanket.
You will win me over with your soothing little lies;
and even knowing the truth, my love,
my heart still longs for only those.
Without going anywhere, I want you home with me every day.
And sometimes, playfully, I want to hide inside your clothes.
Oh charmer, to sweeten my heart,
it is enough if I could just sleep on your golden lap.
The moment my eyes drift into sleep,
the longings of past lifetimes will be satisfied.
They will be fulfilled, completely fulfilled...
Every day after your bath, looking for me,
using the edge of my saree
to dry your hair—that is pure poetry.
Sneaking up like a thief, all of a sudden,
hugging me from behind—that is pure poetry.
If someone asks for the time, I wouldn't even know how to answer,
for in the endless open space of love, clock time does not exist.
Oh charmer, to sweeten my heart,
it is enough if I could just sleep on your golden lap.
The moment my eyes drift into sleep,
the longings of past lifetimes will be satisfied.
That I love and that I breathe is all because of your grace, isn't it?
I yearn and linger, lost in thoughts of you all by myself.
