Summer
With blazing heat and moonlight,
with pouring rain, excited by a refreshing bath,
in the evening, splendidly and with a subdued yearning,
Summer time has come to us, my friend.
The vault of heaven, water-cool and shimmering,
the nights, shining with moonlight,
jewels are at hand and sandalwood oil
to dedicate their service of love to woman and man.
In a chamber full of fragrance,
at midnight, the lovers are feasting on wine,
rippling by the spouse's breath,
when song and dalliance have inflamed the yearning.

Spring
To harm happy people's hearts,
my love, the hero of the spring draws near.
He strings bees to his bowstring
And offers mango blossoms instead of shooting arrows.
The maiden is in love and Zephyr's scents are in the air,
the trees are in blossom and lotus flowers adorn the lakes,
the nights are calm and the days refreshing:
How beautiful is the world in spring!
When ponds are bejewelled
and the maidens appear like the shimmering moon,
when mango trees sway among the flowers in the fields,
then we are in the bliss of spring.
