My pretty darling, my sweetheart,
why are you killing me like this?
You are my world,
you are my very life,
you came into my life and spoke of love.
Who on earth are you?
Did you come just to steal me away?
Inside this wide world, my whole life,
did you come to lock it safely away?
Oh girl, you made me lose myself,
I fell into you, and you buried me inside.
Oh girl, you made me lose myself,
I fell into you, and you buried me inside.
My pretty darling, my sweetheart,
why are you killing me like this?
You are my world,
you are my very life,
you came into my life and spoke of love.
Together for a hundred lifetimes,
you and I must live.
Without our love ever running dry,
I need you for all time.
Like the lines on your palm,
I longed to be joined with you.
Moving around the soles of your feet,
I want to become your shadow.
What are you doing inside my heart?
You are doing something strange to me,
and there are no words to describe it.
My pretty darling, my sweetheart,
why are you killing me like this?
You are my world,
you are my very life,
you came into my life and spoke of love.
Who on earth are you?
Did you come just to steal me away?
Inside this wide world, my whole life,
did you come to lock it safely away?
Oh girl, you made me lose myself,
I fell into you, and you buried me inside.
Oh girl, you made me lose myself,
I fell into you, and you buried me inside.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful romantic song from the movie Raid (2023) conveys deep devotion and affectionate longing. The protagonist affectionately addresses his lover, expressing how her presence completely dominates his heart and life. He speaks of completely losing his identity in her love and expresses a wish to remain bound to her for a hundred lifetimes, standing as close as the lines on her palm or the shadow under her feet. Composed by Sam C. S. and written by Mohan Rajan, the track portrays love as an overwhelming, sweet surrender that defies simple verbal explanation.
