Mee Amba Wanaye

In the mango grove, the melody spreads – who is it calling to?
How can I keep my eyes open when you smile like that?
How does an angel walk in step with the rhythm of the earth?
Do your eyes shine like that because they reflect the deep sky-blue?

From one dream to the next, you keep appearing
Whispering softly – what are you saying?
Just when my heart starts to heal from its aching
You disappear again, without a trace…

In the mango grove, the melody spreads – who is it calling to?
How can I keep my eyes open when you smile like that?
How does an angel walk in step with the rhythm of the earth?
Do your eyes shine like that because they reflect the deep sky-blue?

Draped in a white saree wrapped so gracefully
A bouquet of flowers resting in your hand
I’ll make you my bride, right here, right now
And say to the world – “She’s mine.”

In the mango grove, the melody spreads – who is it calling to?
How can I keep my eyes open when you smile like that?
How does an angel walk in step with the rhythm of the earth?
Do your eyes shine like that because they reflect the deep sky-blue?

“Mee Amba Wanaye” (In the Mango Grove) is a romantic classic that captures a man’s awe-struck admiration for a woman whose beauty and grace feel otherworldly. The setting – a quiet mango grove – becomes the perfect stage for this poetic reflection on love, longing, and fleeting moments.

The singer describes the woman almost like a divine presence: her walk in rhythm with nature, her smile disarming, her eyes shimmering like the sky. He’s mesmerized, caught between daydream and desire, where each moment with her feels like something out of a dream – yet painfully real when she disappears.

At its heart, the song is about yearning – for connection, for beauty, for love that feels like destiny. It ends with a declaration: despite the dreamlike quality of it all, he wants to make her his, to turn the fantasy into something real.

This song blends nature, music, and romance into a gentle but powerful ballad – timeless and deeply heartfelt.
