My heart dances like a Peacock, When I hear your voice! It emerges from far, Brings the tempestuous ocean to me, Brings the soaring mountains to me, Reminding me of the long arduous path I have to walk, To reach you! Still it dances like a Peacock! My heart starts waltzing The moment I hear your voice! My heart starts trembling with a mysterious exhilaration, Quivering with an unfathomable elation, And a peacock within me starts dancing In the rain! The rain shivers me, shudders me, Almost whirls me away, To a land, Where I will walk on a path strewn with golden and tangerine fall leaves, admire a koel and sing her mellifluous rhapsody with my voice uninhibited, gambol and frolic to the sonata, dream endless dreams with the cadence of a humming stream, with uneven pebbles but not quaver for a moment! Where dreams are not splintered into fragments!
