My breath of life

(1237)  Nayaneri tara tumi

You are the star in my eye;^[1]
Please don't go far afield.
You are the love of my life;
Don't keep on forgetting me.

My sandalpaste's soothing coolness,
The intoxicant in screwpine scent...
You are the heart's heat;
Don't ignore love's tears.

You are jasmine's soothing sweetness
And the springtime forest...
You are my life's poetry
And its deathless meaning.
