jiya ke wo man bhaye

Her heart yearns, then trembles with a start,
Shame paints her cheeks, he owns her soul and heart.

In my breast, oh, in my breast, my heart it sways,
As a parrot calls within its cage of days.
My heart it sways, within my breast,
As a parrot calls within its cage of rest.
My Myna, my Myna, oh my Myna, dear,
When you speak, oh when you appear,
As a parrot calls within its cage of fear.
My heart it sways, within my breast,
As a parrot calls within its cage of rest.

Adorn my ears with jewels, then behold my grace,
And watch my every step, the rhythm of my pace.
Let us walk slowly, slowly now,
As a parrot calls within its cage somehow.
Let us walk slowly, with a gentle beat,
As a parrot calls within its cage, complete.
My heart it sways, within my breast,
As a parrot calls within its cage of rest.

Why did you adorn your brow with a dot so red?
My eyes have lost their sleep, my slumber fled.
Beneath my tresses, in their shadowy fold,
As a parrot calls within its cage, untold.
Beneath my tresses, in their shadowed keep,
As a parrot calls within its cage, asleep.
My Myna, my Myna, oh my Myna, dear,
When you speak, oh when you appear,
As a parrot calls within its cage of fear.

Since youth has bloomed, a flame within,
Even cold waters now ignite within.
In water, even in water's embrace,
Flames they kindle, in this watery space.
As a parrot calls within its cage's hold,
Flames they kindle, a story to be told.
As a parrot calls within its cage of old.

By which path shall I come to you?
How may I enter, and see you anew?
I have opened, opened wide,
The doors of my heart, where dreams reside.
As a parrot calls within its cage's grace,
The doors of my heart, I have opened in this place.
As a parrot calls within its cage's race.
My heart it sways, within my breast,
My Myna, my Myna, oh my Myna, dear,
When you speak, oh when you appear,
As a parrot calls within its cage of fear.
My heart it sways, within my breast,
As a parrot calls within its cage of rest.
My Myna, my Myna, oh my Myna, dear,
When you speak, oh when you appear,
As a parrot calls within its cage of fear.
