These verses capture a woman’s tender devotion to her beloved, portrayed as a divine hero. From the joyous rebirth sparked by love’s awakening—like a nightingale’s song and blooming honey bud—to the passionate yearning that stirs hormones like wild rivers, she adorns herself in jasmine, chants his name, and seeks him at love’s shrine. Words fail her ineffable longings, yet she vows eternal praise, embracing sweet unrest and mystical romance with reverent grace.
A small, colourful nightingale
Sings with tender, loving grace
Joy beyond all words I feel
Life begins anew today
Like a honey bud in bloom
This is who I am, I am.
Chanting my hero’s name with pride,
Adorned in jasmine, by my side.
While Cupid’s melody fills my heart,
And echoes through the day and night.
I strive to speak what stirs inside,
Yet words dissolve—no tongue can frame.
What are these longings, deep and wide?
These haunting whispers without name?
Adorned in a garland of blossoms so fine,
I search the bed in longing’s tender plea.
At the Shrine of Love’s own God, my hero divine,
Where is he hiding? I yearn, but cannot see.
The breeze within me swirls and sways,
A dance of love in gentle ways.
Through this body, hormones flow,
Like rivers wild, their currents glow.
Happiness knows no borders at all
Yet evening edges toward the sky.
And in my chest, love starts to stir,
A sweet unrest I can’t deny.
For all my days, I ask just this:
To sing love’s hymn in endless bliss.
புரியாத ஆனந்தம், புதிதாக ஆரம்பம்..!
