A single word, just one word,
is trying to kill me.
Drawing a sword, drawing a sword,
it tries to strike me down.
A single word, just one word,
is trying to kill me.
Drawing a sword, drawing a sword,
it tries to strike me down.
Something I did
out of foolish pride
has gone terribly wrong.
The sweet water of my Thamirabharani river
has turned salty now.
The moment you said
that you are not mine,
my heart burned to ashes.
Even from my shadow now,
blood pours out, my girl,
and my heart has shriveled away.
A single word, just one word,
is trying to kill me.
Drawing a sword, drawing a sword,
it tries to strike me down.
Ooh heh heh...
Oo la la la lay... lay lay
Lay lay lay lay lay
Oo lay lay lay lay lay
Oo la la la lay... lay lay
Lay lay lay lay lay
Oo lay lay lay lay lay
Oo lay lay oo lay lay
I failed to understand relationships,
I failed to realize certain feelings.
The lighthouse itself is lost in darkness.
As a punishment to the mother who bore me,
I brought only suffering.
Into my uncle's blood,
I sprinkled deep sorrow.
In love, I sowed poisonous oleander.
Thinking it was just a fake sword,
I played around in jest,
but like a deadly blade,
it turned into a disaster.
Over a gentle butterfly,
a coconut shell has closed shut.
In this game of hide-and-seek,
I have lost my sight.
A single word,
just one word...
This is a knot tied by the Creator,
trapped tightly around my neck.
In the midst of this feud, my heart trembles.
This is a rain that falls only in dreams,
vanishing the moment my hand reaches for it.
Even the clouds freeze in sorrow.
Like a ritual coconut,
do not smash me to pieces.
Upon the burning bonfire,
do not fling more fire.
As you step further and further away,
my innermost heart is burning.
While cooking a shared meal of joy,
a fierce fiery wind swept through.
A single word, just one word,
is trying to kill me.
Drawing a sword, drawing a sword,
it tries to strike me down.
Something I did
out of foolish pride
has gone terribly wrong.
The sweet water of my Thamirabharani river
has turned salty now.
The moment you said
that you are not mine,
my heart burned to ashes.
Even from my shadow now,
blood pours out, my girl,
and my heart has shriveled away.
