Aha, Aha!

These are bonds of hearts, the ties of hearts,
These are bonds of hearts, the ties of hearts.
Decided in the heavens, on earth they're intertwined,
These bonds, these bonds, these are bonds.
These are bonds of hearts, the ties of hearts,
Decided in the heavens, on earth they're intertwined,
These bonds, these bonds, these are bonds.

Oh, Sky of blue, your games are ever strange,
With threads of blue and gold, you paint life's vibrant range.
Blessed are those who have a sister, a brother's fate they engage,
Blessed are those who have a sister, a brother's fate they engage.
With the raw threads of Rakhi, what bonds are now sustained,
These bonds, these bonds, these are bonds.
These are bonds of hearts, the ties of hearts,
Decided in the heavens, on earth they're intertwined.

See, the maiden goes, to her lover's lane, a beauty in farewell,
See, the maiden goes, to her lover's lane, a beauty in farewell.
No gold she brings, no silver bright, no dowry's heavy spell,
What a union is this, what a bond it did compel,
How has this meeting come to be?
What a farewell, she has come to give, a joy to all who dwell.
These bonds, these bonds, these are bonds.
These are bonds of hearts, the ties of hearts,
These are bonds of hearts, the ties of hearts,
Decided in the heavens, on earth they're intertwined,
These bonds, these bonds, these are bonds.
These bonds, these bonds, these are bonds.
