Hoi hoi hoi hoi….(6)
As of today, every hurdle
has shattered,
and like my darling love,
it has moved away.
So many dreams, all of them came true.
So many nights, all of them broke into dawn.
A season of falling leaves
will never come again... oh oh oh
Stepping out of Sittannavasal (ancient rock-art caves),
sculptures came and stood,
and danced around in circles—
let classical literature sing our praise!
As of today, all fear will fade away,
lightning will leave behind its sparks,
and joys will reach their highest peak.
She is my slender, graceful vine!
Hey hey, come get me higher,
hold me... and let me fly.
Hey hey, come take me now,
that's how we break it down.
When you hold me in your hands,
you play me like music, leaping like a dolphin.
Male: If your waist begins to sway,
I will strike like a monsoon storm.
If you come pouring down
like rain from the sky,
brand new,
I will blossom with flowers every day.
Enchanting my heart,
O my garden of flowers,
like a gentle shower of rain,
you have drenched my soul.
Hey hey, come get me higher,
hold me... and let me fly.
Hey hey, come take me now,
that's how we break it down.
I lay hidden like a buried treasure,
and you stole me away.
Male: Opening the door,
why did you let me come inside?
Hey thief,
stay with me forever.
Only inside the palm of your hand
does my very life's breath live.
Tripping over my own feet,
my eyes lost in a daze,
right into your dimpled cheek
I fell so long ago.
Hey hey, come get me higher,
hold me... and let me fly.
Hey hey, come take me now,
that's how we break it down.
As of today, every hurdle
has shattered,
and like my darling love,
it has moved away.
So many dreams, all of them came true.
So many nights, all of them broke into dawn.
A season of falling leaves
will never come again... oh oh oh
