Upon the Ganges' sands,
Let a house arise,
My love,
May your safety bloom, my beloved, may your well-being thrive,
My love,
May your safety bloom, my beloved, may your well-being thrive.
Toward the window's gaze,
Let a garden be planted,
A floral promenade, my beloved, may your well-being thrive,
A floral promenade, my beloved, may your well-being thrive.

Eyes meet eyes, whispers of love,
Anklets chime, flutes of spring's delight,
Eyes meet eyes, whispers of love,
Anklets chime, flutes of spring's delight.
One is you, one is I, none other,
My love,
May your safety bloom, my beloved, may your well-being thrive,
My love,
May your safety bloom, my beloved, may your well-being thrive.

Ah, an age for impact to take hold,
Ah, an age for impact to take hold, who truly wins?
As unbound tresses cascade.
Until the patience of today, and no further longing,
Until the patience of today, and no further longing,
What hue the heart, until the liver bleeds?
What hue the heart, until the liver bleeds?
Until the liver bleeds, until the liver bleeds.

Though we may not meet in the heart's dance,
Though we may not meet in the heart's dance,
We shall become dust, until you are aware,
We shall become dust, until you are aware,
Until you are aware.
The turning of existence's mark, from whom did shame flee?
The turning of existence's mark, from whom did shame flee?
The candle burns in every color, until dawn arrives.
Ah, an age for impact to take hold,
Ah, an age for impact to take hold.
