King... who is the king?
King... who is the king?
Who is a king like him?
Who is the king on this earth?
One earth, only one king!
Who is the king? Who is the king?
If this king sets his target,
this king will destroy it!
One earth, one king!
King! King!
My love...
You poured a stormy rain inside me,
to sweep me away!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
You poured a stormy rain inside me,
to drag me away!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
Thamara thaiyara mara mara thaiyaamara

Thamara thaiyara mara mara thaiyaamara
Thamara thai thai tharamara thaiyaa

Into shreds every day, my heart
broke apart, tell me why!
Inside me like the sky, your form
spread wide, tell me why!
Into shreds every day, my heart
broke apart, tell me why!
Inside me like the sky, your form
spread wide, tell me why!
Into shreds every day, my heart
broke apart, tell me why!
Inside me like the sky, your form
spread wide, tell me why!
Even before seeing you with both my eyes,
all across my heart,
my dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
I have waged wars all across the world,
yet there is no woman like you!
What is the point of ruling the entire world,
without having you, nothing feels complete!
Even if God says this is wrong,
my heart will never listen!
Even when I tell it to stop,
crossing every limit,
my dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
My dreams overflow their banks,
carried by a single desire!
My dreams overflow their banks!
Who is a king like him?
Who is the king on this earth?
One earth, only one king!
Who is the king? Who is the king?
If this king sets his target,
this king will destroy it!
One earth, one king!
King! King!
Who is a king like him?
Who is the king on this earth?
One earth, only one king!
Who is the king? Who is the king?
If this king sets his target,
this king will destroy it!
One earth, one king!
King! King!
