Your gaze, a war I waged, your gaze, a war.
Youth, alas, in vain I gave, youth in vain.
Your gaze, a war I waged, youth in vain.
Youth in vain, your gaze, a war.

Hiding from this, concealing from that,
Sixteen years, I kept them back, sixteen years.
My bangles, they then did break apart,
Youth, alas, in vain I gave, youth in vain.
Your gaze, a war.

I yearn, my years they yearn with me,
As fish do in a sea, without water,
Alas, what fire did you ignite,
Youth, alas, in vain I gave, youth in vain.
Your gaze, a war.

The village boys, they whistle with glee,
The old, they see, they apply kohl,
Becoming youth, death came to be,
Youth, alas, in vain I gave, youth in vain.
Your gaze, a war, youth in vain.
Youth in vain, your gaze, a war.
