Oh my love,
devour my loneliness and go, go!
If not,
kill me and go, go!
My love,
devour my loneliness and go, go!
If not,
kill me and go, go!
Like kohl to my eyes, will your eyes
search for me? Search for me?
Oh my heart, will your heart
ask for me? Ask for me? Ha ha
It is waiting, it is waiting,
my soul is longing and waiting for you!
Mmm… aa…
Like a cloud shedding a gentle drizzle,
do not shake me off and walk away!
I will fall to the ground and shatter,
do not pull away!
It is waiting, it is waiting,
my soul is longing and waiting for you!
Hey, it is waiting, it is waiting,
my soul is longing and waiting for you!
Mmm.. mm… hmmm
Mmm.. mm… hmmm
Oh, with the strike of a single matchstick,
a few flowers begin to bloom!
When you softly touch me and walk by,
even an earthquake is defeated!
Ho ooho
With the strike of a single matchstick,
a few flowers begin to bloom!
When you softly touch me and walk by,
even an earthquake is defeated!
Like a flowering plant on an open terrace,
I suffered under the blazing noon sun.
When you pour down like heavy rain,
if just one drop touches me, I will survive!
Like kohl to my eyes, will your eyes
search for me? Search for me?
Oh my heart, will your heart
ask for me? Ask for me? Ha ha
It is waiting, it is waiting,
my soul is longing and waiting for you!
Aaaa… haa
Like a cloud shedding a gentle drizzle,
do not shake me off and walk away!
I will fall to the ground and shatter,
do not pull away!
It is waiting, it is waiting,
my soul is longing and waiting for you!
It is waiting, it is waiting,
my soul is longing and waiting for you!
Mmm.. mm… hmmm

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful track expresses the deep pain of loneliness and intense longing for a loved one. The speaker pleads with their lover to either consume their solitude or end their life completely, as living in separation feels unbearable. Through vivid imagery, the lyrics describe how a simple glance or touch from the lover revives the speaker's spirit. The imagery shifts between vulnerability and hope—comparing the protagonist to a wilting plant under intense heat saved by a single drop of rain. Ultimately, the song conveys that the lover's presence is not merely a desire, but an essential element for the speaker's emotional survival.

Simile (Uvamai Ani)
