Hey Guru!
Oh Guru, Guru!
Oh Guru, Guru!
Disciple!
Hey, a three-letter
bad word—
that word, disciple,
shall I teach you what it is?
Hey, a three-letter bad word—
that word, disciple,
shall I teach you what it is?
It is a word that scorched
both you and me.
That word, disciple,
shall I teach you what it is?
It tangles me up in knots,
it eats away at me.
What is that word?
Tell me, Guru...
Losing my sleep every single day,
and fixing it firmly in mind,
I need to learn it
very easily.
Male: As Guru Dakshina (teacher's offering),
you must name your wish.
Hey, a three-letter
bad word—
that word, disciple,
shall I teach you what it is?
It is a word that scorched
both you and me.
That word, disciple,
shall I teach you what it is?
The word that consumed
the poet Kamban's son,
a divine word.
It makes even the full moon
burn like fire—
an epic word.
You set fire alongside the moon;
what kind of pairing is that?
If you do not tell me that
right here and now,
what life do I have left?
Just thinking of it makes
the heart ache.
A word that is granted
only after years of penance.
Tell me, Guru!
Tell me, Guru!
I am withering away into ashes!
Hey, a three-letter
bad word—
that word, disciple,
shall I teach you what it is?
Chorus: Hey Guru!
In your name,
I will smash a hundred coconuts, Guru!
Tell me that bad word!
Chorus: Hey Guru!
Losing my sleep every single day,
and fixing it firmly in mind,
I need to learn it
very easily.
Male: As Guru Dakshina (teacher's offering),
you must name your wish.
Aaaa... aa... aa...
The word that makes you
chase after me forever.
The word that drives
all modern poets
completely mad.
Is it some spellbinding magic dust?
A magical word!
Before I start singing heartbreak songs
and grow a sad beard,
tell me that word!
The wondrous word
that began with an apple,
the beautiful word
that Adam and Eve shared.
Tell me, Guru!
Female: I will tell you, disciple!
Do not fret, do not wander!
In your name,
I will smash a hundred coconuts, Guru!
Tell me that bad word!
I will wash your clothes
for ten whole months, Guru!
Tell me that good word!
I will not tell you,
I will not tell you that,
even if you butter me up, disciple!
It starts with 'Kaa',
and ends with 'al'.
Figure it out, figure it out, disciple!
