Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What can I ever say?
If not within you,
Where else could I live?
This deep pain,
When will I ever be rid of it?
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What can I ever say?
If not within you,
Where else could I live?
Fading away in solitude
Just like the moon,
Those dreamlike moments—
Why did I shatter them?
Carrying the weight of a cross
In your thaali (sacred marriage thread),
Oh my life's companion,
Did I hurt you so deeply?
For the two of us to sing together,
We chose a song.
Since only one sang and grew weary,
I was left stranded in silence.
I yearned... and slept on burning embers.
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What can I ever say?
If not within you...
Female: Aha... aa... aaaa... aaaa...
By the unintentional harm
Done without meaning to,
The heart itself breaks;
This is what life is.
The wounds that occur
Without showing on the outside,
Gnaw deep into the soul;
Life is a story like that.
Love surrounded by dreams
Is an endless epic.
If loved ones fall silent,
Everything turns into mere drama.
It will change, it will change,
This sorrow will pass.
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What can I ever say?
If not within you,
Where else could I live?
This deep pain,
When will I ever be rid of it?
Tell me, oh tell me, my heart,
What can I ever say?
If not within you,
Where else could I live...
