Be my fiancée, come my queen, in your bun I'll place a flower of stars
On your ears I'll hang the crescent, of the Choithi's* third moon
On your neck I'll adorn, bright maiden
Of birds in flight, a hanging necklace
A lightning strike ribbon I will braid into your cloud-dark hair
With Chandon wood drenched in moon rays, I will wash your skin
With the red of Lord Ram's bow*, I will paint your feet*
With the seven harmonies of my song
I will adorn your wedding bed
Following you always sings the bulbul of my poetry
