The Divine Star Shining in the Blue Sky

Venkat Vellanki

The divine star shining in the blue sky 

I have waited many births to unite with you

Your divine beauty is my long-cherished dream

A billion melodies play in my heart 

 

Oh, my dear, is this true?

Is our introduction a blessing?

This is the moment that shows the feeling of my heart

A sweet feeling of the first love

 

How can one know which rain drop will become a pearl?

How can one know which friendship will blossom into love?

Who knows what feelings may arise in my heart with your look!

What will I do when your warm breath touches me 

How I can tell the number of births 

Taken for our love to blossom now?

How can I reveal the number of eyes that are seeing red now?

 

Oh, my dear, be gracious unto me 

Please look at me once, dear moon light

And my birth will be a blessed one

Are you a flower that has gently blossomed in the cool moonlight?

Are you the crescent moon dancing amongst the clouds?

You smile delicately, your waist is a tender petal

 

Your beauty is beyond words!

Your voice sweet as the cuckoo’s you walk like a gracious deer

I chant your name like the root word for sensuality

I shall worship the steps you take to reach me

 

Oh, my dear, say yes

Can’t you sense the pain in your lover’s heart?

Please accept my love

 

The divine star shining in the blue sky

I have waited many births to unite with you

Your divine beauty is my long-cherished dream

A billion melodies play in my heart
