Wasanthe Pura Lyrics

Think about it, not for a week or two, take a whole year if you need,
that glance of yours struck me with a flirty little punch,
thinking about you has become a habit,
the bet of our love is a gamble of a lifetime

I won’t cut my wings to keep from flying,
but be mine, and stay close beside me from now on,
let me savour the dream I have wished for,
I’ll keep watching, unblinking, those sparkling blue eyes

Let us stay embraced until we truly know love,
I will be near until the day you say “yes”,
while you think this over, in peace,
I will be here until you say you love me

A warm, patient love song by Bathiya and Santhush, sung by a suitor content to wait as long as it takes. Think it over, he tells her, not a week or two, take a whole year if you must; her single flirty glance struck him “like a punch,” thinking about her has become a habit, and he casts their love as the one gamble worth a whole lifetime.

The middle is tender reassurance. He won’t clip his own wings to stop himself flying, but he asks her simply to be his and stay close, so he can savour the dream he’s wished for, while he keeps watching, unblinking, her sparkling blue eyes. It is desire offered gently, without pressure.

The close is pure patience. Let us stay embraced until we really know this love, he says; I’ll be near until the day you say yes; and while you think it over, calmly, in your own time, I will be right here, until you say you love me. Sung by Bathiya and Santhush, it is a warm, unhurried song about waiting, without demand, for someone to be ready to love you back.
