To Mahakanadarawa With Love Ii

You bring me 
The elegance
Your exquisite 
Calm me down

You nurture the 
Fields of mine
You make my
People full of bliss

You stand for
My security at night
Alongside the moon

You take care of 
Elephants roaming 
Overnight 

You give my stupa
A majestic look at night
Really, a majestic look
You hide no water
Though there's drought
In dry September
 
You, the Guardian 
Of mine, stand for me
Forever 
The trust I kept on you
Is absolute
