This love is enough from now on
Ha... aah... aah... aah...
Everything will fall into place from now on
A rainbow inside our home
It has spilled, scoop it in your hands
And tell it to go back to the sky...
No need for the moon
A smile is enough
No need for sunshine
An embrace is enough
All across the house
We gathered our dreams...
Leaving our hometown for another
We tried putting down roots in a new soil
We tried taking root
And we bloomed only with love
Ha... aah... aah...
As the right time comes our way
As our loved ones come searching for us
We came together, united as one
We don't need anything else
Desire pecks at the heart every day
A garden that blooms as much as one asks
Like a crane made of flowers...
You spread your wings across the sky
And gently captured my heart and swept it away...
Oh, my sky...
As a light drizzle falls drop by drop
Entering my heart each passing day
Come inside and get trapped
For my heart is a dead end
Like a bee caught inside honey
I am trapped deep in your heart
With no desire to ever come out...
Ha... aah... aah... aah...
Chorus: This love is enough from now on
Female: Krishna... as you come...
Chorus: Everything will fall into place now
This love is enough from now on
Female: Krishna... you...
Krishna... as you come...
Chorus: Everything will fall into place now
Female: ........................................
A rainbow inside our home
It has spilled, scoop it in your hands
And tell it to go back to the sky...
No need for the moon
A smile is enough
No need for sunshine
An embrace is enough
All across the house
We gathered our dreams...
Aah... aah... aah...
Leaving our hometown for another
We tried putting down roots in a new soil
We tried taking root
And we bloomed only with love
As the right time comes our way
As our loved ones come searching for us
Both: We came together, united as one
We don't need anything else
This love is enough from now on
Female: Krishna... you...
Krishna... as you come...
