Hey, beautiful fire,
you are scorching me!
As you sing a haiku poem
with your eyes again and again,
hypertension
rushes to my head and I wither away!
Weren't girls once
an allergy to you, man?
Seeing her,
did you suddenly find
energy within you, man?
She has done something to me!
Come on, baby,
don't do this, baby!
She plucked my heart
just like a flower!
She plucked my heart
just like a flower!
Don't ever do this, don't ever do this...
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Sleep is completely gone,
and it shows no mercy either.
Without letting my eyelids
ever close together,
you stood between them!
Is this fair?
My BP shot up, young blood is boiling,
and like Kargil,
a war rages in my chest!
Hey girl, in the dead of night,
just like summer,
heat strikes me!
Standing before me to strike,
did fire and wind join as one
in your eyes,
inside you?
The way you burnt me
and tossed me into the fire—
up to this point
is more than enough, please stop...
Hey, beautiful fire,
you are scorching me!
As you sing a haiku poem
with your eyes again and again,
hypertension
rushes to my head and I wither away... yeah... yeah...
Never do this to me,
don't ever do this to me,
baby... yeah yeah...
Whispering your name over and over,
I forgot all about myself...
In your flash of lightning glance,
I lost my very life.
On my lips is only your name,
in my body is only your life.
Wherever you stand on this earth,
wherever you go,
aren't I the shadow
that follows you?
Mad with love,
your mind stumbling,
you go spinning around her
like a bull at an oil mill!
What is it that has,
piece by piece, little by little,
killed you like this?
Showing ten million sparks of light,
as your whole body
flashes like lightning,
realizing that I am no longer
with myself,
girl, I came to you
searching for me...
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Hey, hey, beautiful fire,
you are scorching me!
As you sing a haiku poem
with your eyes again and again,
hypertension
rushes to my head and I wither away!
Weren't girls once
an allergy to you, man?
Seeing her,
did you suddenly find
energy within you, man?
She has done something to me!
Come on, baby,
don't do this, baby!
She plucked my heart
just like a flower!
She plucked my heart
just like a flower!
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
Oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh-oh... oh-oh-oh...
