Dance Under The Tamarind Tree

When I was a little girl
I used to chase the butterflies
And dancing with the wind,
I soared high in blue skies

I admired twinkling stars
I had a crush on moon;            
Prancing with gay abandon
In the moonlight I’d swoon

With soft zephyr I waltz,           
With high wind I jive,
Even in tempestuous air
I dance to feel alive                   

I tango in stormy gale, 
Enjoy swaying in rain drops,
Do rock ‘N roll with mistrals,              
Cyclone, cannot make me stop

Do monsoon winds cajole you?
To gyrate with the sound of rain,
Does hurricane entice you?
To foxtrot in a hilly terrain

It’s serendipity if I get a                 
Chance to dance with blustery wind,
And twirl around in rapture
Under the tree of Tamarind
