Saaki! Just your look is so intoxicating!
What will happen when you pour wine in my glass?
A small lamp is enough to see you my beloved!
I don’t care for a glittering row of light
Yes! my Death! here and now you are so beautiful like heaven.
What will happen when I really reach heaven?
Down in this world, all are friends
All leave me with sweet memory
and I dream about meeting them again
many times without fulfilment.
Even this mirage is so entertaining
What will happen when I reach satisfaction
Even enemy makes me alert
when I make a move haphazardly
Lo! I see angel hidden in the villain even
What will happen when angel himself appears in the end?
Even the thorns defend me
They are ready and alert to protect my farm and house
Why would I need this whole garden full of flowers
When every single bud is so much full of fragrance
Even twinkling of the firebug is quite beautiful
What will happen in the shining night of full-moon?
Saaki! Just your look is so intoxicating.
What will happen when you pour wine in my glass?
