I’m running along the narrow footpath with excitement.
Searching restlessly for you, my beautiful cousin-like beloved.
The fragrance of the sandalwood garland fills the air.
It makes me long to be bound to you forever, like a chain wrapped around my heart.
Your sweetness completely enchants me.
Shall I come to place the wedding garland around your neck?

My precious one…

You are the chrysanthemum blooming beside my path.
You are the bouquet my eyes cherish the most.

Oh my dear, graceful flower vine,
you’re like a mother’s lap where every worry disappears.
Beautiful one, the very definition of feminine beauty,
a rare beauty walking upon this earth.

I’ve been running behind you like your shadow.
Just once…
please turn around and look at me.

Every time you passed without even looking at me,
I rusted away like iron left abandoned.
I’ve already dedicated my life to you,
yet I was too afraid to come close.

My life, my very soul,
you are my entire world. Come to me, my love.
My heart is as fragile as glass,
please don’t break it or make it suffer, my precious one.

Hey!
The fragrance of my beloved fills my heart,
like the sweet scent of a wild champak flower.
Our eyes speak the words we cannot say,
shyly carrying the fragrance of love.
Will you fly away with me like a bird,
so we can journey through life together?

Kanmaniye

My precious one,
come close and let me shower you with affection.
