Desire, desire, desire, desire!
Selling away your sleep,
all for the desire to buy a bed!
Selling away the fishing rod,
all for the desire to buy fish!
Selling the tongue to buy honey,
selling water to buy thirst,
selling flowers to buy fragrance,
selling a mother to buy affection,
selling the lock to buy a key—
oh, what a wicked desire!
Desire, desire, desire, desire!
Desire, desire, desire, desire!
Selling away your sleep,
all for the desire to buy a bed!
Selling away the fishing rod,
all for the desire to buy fish!
Oh...
Schools of fish living in the water
are no wonder at all.
Yet those fish cooked in that very water
turning into a curry is an unchanging truth!
When desires cross all limits,
peace of mind will vanish.
When expenses exceed your earnings,
your life's path will go astray.
Oh Lord Venkatesa, oh Srinivasa!
The mind simply wanders,
only down the road paved by money!
Desire, desire... desire, desire!
Desire, desire... desire, desire!
Selling away your sleep,
all for the desire to buy a bed!
Selling away the fishing rod,
all for the desire to buy fish!
Oh...
For man's hunger, the chicken is food.
For the chicken, the worm is food.
For the worm's hunger, the soil is food.
And for the soil, man himself is the food!
What came from the earth will return to the earth,
yet the human mind does not realize it.
What began in family bonds will end on the funeral pyre,
yet the world does not understand it.
It wavers and changes its colors,
in this human life,
one desire will devour another desire!
Desire, desire, desire, desire...
Desire, desire, desire, desire!
Selling away your sleep,
all for the desire to buy a bed!
Selling away the fishing rod,
all for the desire to buy fish!
Selling the tongue to buy honey,
selling water to buy thirst,
selling flowers to buy fragrance,
selling a mother to buy affection,
selling the lock to buy a key—
oh, what a wicked desire!
Desire, desire, desire, desire!
Desire, desire, desire, desire!
