English translation of lyrics from the Takarazuka production based on the Bollywood musical film.

To Make a Comparison (Main Agar Kahoon)

Om:
What can I compare these feelings to
It isn’t enough to just say ‘happiness’
How can I convey my thoughts to you
I don’t have gold or silver or diamonds

If I were to rule
The whole world
I’d give you the moon
Under the glittering stars
I’d take your hands
And dance with you
A waltz of love
Even the gods
Would envy me

I must express these feelings to you

(Dialogue)

Om:
What should I compare you to

Shanti:
Compare me to the flowers

Om:
What should I compare you to

Shanti:
Compare me to the birds

Om:
If they saw you
Even goddesses
Would blush in shame
And hide away

Shanti:
Holding your hands
And dancing with you is entrancing

Ah~ I’ll dance with you all night
This beautiful night
Even the stars floating in the sky
Are smiling at us

Om and Shanti:
If our wishes came true
Time would stop
We could look in each others’ eyes
And talk all night
Until the moon vanished
And dawn broke

Under the glittering stars
I’d take your hands
And dance with you
A waltz of love
Even the gods
Would envy us

What should I compare these feelings to
