If a young goat strays away,
it belongs to the jackal.
If the jackal gets trapped,
it belongs to the hunter.
In the eyes of greedy, unprincipled men,
everything they lay eyes on belongs to them.
Yet if you look at it by the true law of life,
only eight feet of earth is your own.
Yet if you look at it by the true law of life,
only eight feet of earth is your own.
Haha...
What belongs to you?
What belongs to me?
Only our allotted time in this world is our own, friend!
What belongs to you?
What belongs to me?
Only our allotted time in this world is our own, friend!
From babbling in your mind's madness,
the gain you earned is worthless and dull, friend!
From babbling in your mind's madness,
the gain you earned is worthless and dull, friend!
What belongs to you?
What belongs to me?
Only our allotted time in this world is our own, friend!
When a fledgling in the nest wants to fly,
its bond with the mother bird comes to an end, friend!
When a mother goat stops nursing her kid,
that relationship changes completely, friend!
When they lay you flat and set you on fire,
when they stretch out your legs and light the fire,
for all your affection, attachment, and greed for wealth,
with that single handful of rice placed in your mouth,
all accounts of kinship are settled, friend!
What belongs to you?
What belongs to me?
Only our allotted time in this world is our own, friend!
Covering up their ledger of sins
with piles of money,
putting on a deceitful show,
those daylight hypocrites—
they got trapped in danger and perished, and yet
the ones who came right after them
turned out to be no better than their younger brothers, friend!
He too arrived,
that man came and this man came,
they danced their brief dance,
and in the end, without anyone knowing,
they vanished.
Forgetting everything that was once in their minds,
they closed their eyes forever.
That man came and this man came,
they danced their brief dance,
and in the end, without anyone knowing,
they vanished.
Forgetting everything that was once in their minds,
they closed their eyes forever.
Even if you build high walls to guard it,
even if you hoard up all the riches,
after you die, for all of that,
who is the real owner?
Tell me if you have the courage!
Look at the poorest and the mightiest—
see where they have all gone!
Look, where did he go?
That man came and this man came,
they danced their brief dance,
and in the end, without anyone knowing,
they vanished.
Forgetting everything that was once in their minds,
they closed their eyes forever.
How many women, how many men?
How many were born, how many have died?
How many got tangled in meaningless quarrels and were lost?
How many were sacrificed like goats for empty pride?
Once the breath stops, once the breath stops,
every bond is finished, girl!
Hey Muthukannu, in all of this,
how much true joy is there, tell me?
Hey Muthukannu, in all of this,
how much true joy is there, really?
What belongs to you?
What belongs to me?
Only our allotted time in this world is our own, friend!
From babbling in your mind's madness,
the gain you earned is worthless and dull, friend!
What belongs to you?
What belongs to me?
Only our allotted time in this world is our own, friend!
