Translation

To please you,
To adore you,
What should I do, tell me, Son of the Wind?

If I shower you with libations, you search every drop to see if Sri Rama is there,
If I decorate you with flowers,
You scatter them and ask if Sri Rama is there,

If I garland you with a string of pearls and gems,
You break them all to pieces and see,
If Sri Ramachandra is there in each piece,
You search for him and try to find him.

Why are you so desperate to keep Rama in the temple of your heart,
Stay a while in the temple of my mind and I will see Rama with you.
