Translation of the Lyrics in English

When a cuckoo sang on a branch of an Ashoka tree…
I traded my dreams with a heart!

SHE:
On a high hill stands my sweetheart’s cottage
With muscular cot in a bedroom made of ‘Sunset’
Rose-thorn fences from my home to his…
…and my petticoat-blouse are brand new

When shameless rose-thorns exposed my shame…..
I traded my dreams with a heart!

HE:
Bring flowers…….. and I will speak awry.
Bring thorns……and I will open the door!
In a packed bazaar, oh my darling! I will shamelessly trade….
Flowers with thorns: sheer ounce to ounce!!

When ‘Oasis’ dipped his thorn in lavender ink……
I traded my dreams with a heart!
