| You are Ganga, I am Yamuna,
| Our love is the undercurrent (Sarasvati);
| This is the beautiful confluence of three rivers.

| The full moon is rising in the eastern sky,
| The laughing ocean waves are rising high;
| As I see you smiling, O my skies' moon,
| My heart's rising like those waves in a swoon.

| Resonating with the music of the flute of love,
| How does one play the notes of the lute of passion?
| At the auspicious moment when hearts unite,
| Perhaps the sweetest music is the song of silence.
