A bud and a leaf, we all understand,
A bud and a leaf, we all understand.
Our companions, oh Rama, companions,
Our companions, oh Rama, companions.
A bud and a leaf, we all understand,

In every lane, the veil does sway,
The wind dances, intoxicated.
Perfume streams, joy is aflame,
Each branch, oh so beloved.
Oh Rama, oh Rama, oh…
A bud and a leaf, we all understand,
A bud and a leaf, we all understand.

All homes and love, their return,
Oh Rama, oh Rama, oh…
What colors does the killer heart show?
Oh Rama, oh Rama, oh…
When home's memory does haunt,
Not a moment can we bear.
When home's memory does haunt,
When home's memory does haunt,
Not a moment can we bear.

A bud and a leaf, we all understand,

We all understand, oh Rama, understand,
We all understand, oh Rama, understand.
A bud and a leaf, we all understand,

Sitting, he issues commands, O Beloved!
