Up on the high ground in the banyan forest,
Oh my, my heart is lost in song.
Up on the high ground in the banyan forest,
Oh my, my heart is lost in song.
My longing just doesn't fade away,
And my heart refuses to listen.
Like a rock of salt,
I am dissolving away.
You are like the sharp needle-rain, my love.
Like a stone drawn in a slingshot,
You pull me back,
And I will fly a great distance for you.
Just like the moon,
Circling around you,
I will always remain,
Right by your side.
Seeing the beam of a lighthouse,
I became like a winged termite drawn to the light.
Gathering the wings that I shed,
I will weave a dress for you.
At the edge of the red-soil woods,
I blossomed into a bright red flower.
When the horizon turns red at dusk,
I unravel like an untwined rope.
I'll smile and cuddle up gently,
And just like a dragonfly,
I will hover all around you.
Up on the high ground in the banyan forest,
Oh my, my heart is lost in song.
My longing just doesn't fade away,
And my heart refuses to listen.
This heart of mine that was soft clay,
I shape into a crown to give you.
Just like heavy rain pouring down,
I fell deep into your eyes.
As I place a red bindi on my forehead,
I become a sweet thought soaking in your heart.
I, who wasn't in your thoughts every day,
Have become the very life you feel.
I sway shyly and yield to you,
Protecting our love,
I will spend my life with you.
Up on the high ground in the banyan forest,
Oh my, my heart is lost in song.
My longing just doesn't fade away,
And my heart refuses to listen.
Like a rock of salt,
I am dissolving away.
You are like the sharp needle-rain, my love.
Like a stone drawn in a slingshot,
You pull me back,
And I will fly a great distance for you.
Just like the moon,
Circling around you,
I will always remain,
Right by your side.
