Flower, do not stop.
Fire, do not stop.
Woman, do not give up pleasure in sweet honey.
Even if it eats away at your chest, do not lose your dignity.
A flame burns bright.
Her youth burns like firewood.
A dark hour when my body wanders.
A body burning like a funeral pyre will embrace you.
Crushing you on the brink of death,
It will rise in fury.
With monstrous strength, the enemy is enslaved.
Wait just a second, it will arrive.
Boiling and waking up a fierce body.
You have only thoughts, girl,
While I have no count at all.
Piled up and burned without measure,
As bodies rub against each other.
It is completely a curse,
This burning desire inside me.
My nails upon your body
Will rip it open and tear it down.
It is completely a curse,
This burning desire inside me.
My nails upon your body,
To rip it apart and torture your body,
Come, step down this path.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This intense track from the movie Netrikann depicts a terrifying interplay between dark, predatory urges and fierce survival instincts. The lyrics use vivid, violent, and sensual imagery—burning bodies, dark hour encounters, demonic strength, and sharp fingernails—to emphasize the villain's psychotic obsession and sadistic desire. Concurrently, it exhorts the female protagonist to hold onto her inner strength and pride even when pushed to the edge of destruction.
