Come, Vasuki
Come, Vasuki
Come with me
Your flower-like eyes
Are like my mother's lap
A soothing lullaby
Even if the branches reach up to the sky
The roots will always
Remain tied to this soil
Wherever I may wander in this world
All my thoughts stay only with you
For this endless, unhealable longing
What name should I give it today?
Without any fire, without any smoke
A flame surrounds me
It stumbles and leaps, leaps, leaps
My heart stumbles and leaps, leaps
It yearns, yearns, yearns only for you
My youth yearns, yearns only for you
Eh hey
Stumbling and leaping, leaping
Yearning and longing only for you
Come, Vasuki
Come, Vasuki
Come with me...
Your flower-like eyes
Are like my mother's lap
A soothing lullaby
Stumbling and leaping
Yearning only for you
In just a couple of days of talking
The whole world, the whole world
Takes on a whole new look now
Completely, completely
It acts brave like a hero, like a warrior
My heart, my heart
Yet even walking down the street of your home
It trembles and shakes, shakes
I have no other purpose but to look at you
Yet I lack the courage to look straight at you
My love, without you, my days have no meaning
There is no separate 'you' and 'me' anymore
The moment I breathe in
Your sweet fragrance
Something happens deep inside me
Come, Vasuki
Come, Vasuki
Come with me
Your flower-like eyes
Are like my mother's lap
A soothing lullaby
Even if the branches reach up to the sky
The roots will always
Remain tied to this soil
Wherever I may wander in this world
All my thoughts stay only with you
For this endless, unhealable longing
What name should I give it today?
Without any fire, without any smoke
A flame surrounds me
It stumbles and leaps, leaps, leaps
My heart stumbles and leaps, leaps
It yearns, yearns, yearns only for you
My youth yearns, yearns only for you
Eh hey
Stumbling and leaping, leaping
Yearning and longing only for you
Come, Vasuki
Come, Vasuki
Come with me...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning
