I Took You for a Picture!

Chorus

I took you for a picture and looked. You stole my heart. Who may you be, O gold parrot of the god of love?

If I pray to him will he send you to me? Beautiful one, at least giveme your heart.

To give and take is the rule of the world. Do the wise approve of stealth and silence? Is one to be cheated for going and seeing? Is open robbery a credit?

What do I want with a body devoid of mind? So take that also. In return for both I crave but a word. Oh, fair one, you may concede this much.

If you think the price small, I present to you lives to come, and I call the god of love to witness. May Vishnu who ruled the heart of Prince Anandaraja bless you!
