O unknown traveler, please wait a moment.
I wish to garland You
With the fragrance of flowers.
With smiles and love I have decorated this garland.
I wish to garland You.

I am singing songs for You,
Trying to understand the rhythm
and melody of Your music.
My restless, complex mind wants to go
To Your loving, sweet vibrations.
I wish to garland You.

I dance in rhythm to attract
You in the changing world,
Flowing with the river of nectar,
I don't want to take anything, I only want to give
Adoration, heart poured out.
I wish to garland You.
