Come before me, my love, come Come, my body… my soul… Come before me, my love, come Let us bloom like flowers together I asked myself, “Am I still me?” But my heart said, “I have become you…” You drew colorful rangoli patterns Blessed are the hands that made them Your bangles echo softly — jal jal Beautiful jasmine, Sandalwood-scented jasmine, Your painted smile shines brightly You placed flowers, flowers everywhere Inside my heart, you placed a flower And within that flower, You lit a fire You… dancing in the rain Me… drenched, longing beside you In my shyness runs your blood In my veins echoes your voice Oh my life… If for a few days I’m away from your shoulders, I become like a fish out of water Come before me, my love, come Come, my body… my soul… Let us bloom like flowers together Can we rent moonlight itself And keep it inside our eyes as a home? In the house where we live, Would it be right for anyone else to enter? You are the southern mountain breeze May I rest upon your shoulders? And on the shoulder where I sleep, Would it be right for another to lean? Like water mixing with red earth, We have blended into one another Come before me, my love, come Come, my body… my soul… Let us bloom like flowers together I asked myself, “Am I still me?” But my heart said, “I have become you…”
