Darbuka Siva – Maruvaali Lyrics English Translation

[Verse 1]
Let’s erase time — let’s forget the whole world.
Lay your head down silently and fall asleep on my lap.
I’ve spread my heart like a bed of flowers.
It’s time for you to rest like an innocent child.

[Pre-Chorus]
Let all thoughts of the past drift into the sky.
Let the sweet scents of tomorrow rain on us today.
I won’t allow fate to take a single step on this path.
My loving arms will pull you from the whirlpool tonight.

[Chorus]
Let’s forget time — let’s forget the entire world.
Rest your head in silence and sleep upon my chest.
My heart lies open like a carpet of blossoms.
Now is the hour to rest like a pure, innocent child.

[Verse 2]
Those days when we were crushed in the fangs of darkest night —
Leave them behind in the shadows.
Wander with me in this moonlight instead.
I’ve swept the pain of separation out of our room — come to me.
The stubborn ticking of the clock can no longer be heard.

[Bridge]
In this moment, we exist only inside each other.
Let an eternity pass — nothing in this world will tear us apart.
The tears that pour from your eyes like a sacred river —
I will gather them all and turn them into a vast ocean.

[Verse 3]
Today, I’ve banished every second that exists without you.
Look — my entire being is filled with nothing but you.
I swear I’ll never let go of your hand —
Even if destruction stands before us, even if death itself.

[Chorus repeated]

[Outro]
Let’s forget time — let’s forget the whole world.

📖 Lyrics Meaning

This song is a deeply romantic and protective vow of eternal togetherness. The speaker offers their beloved a sanctuary from time, pain, and fate itself. It blends intimacy with cosmic imagery, suggesting that love can suspend reality and heal all wounds.

Key themes:

1. Escaping time and the world – The repeated line “forget time, forget the whole world” is not literal amnesia but a desire to exist outside of ordinary pressures — clocks, fate, past regrets, and future anxieties. The beloved is invited into a timeless, private universe.

2. The lap as a sacred space – Sleeping on the speaker’s lap represents complete trust, safety, and surrender. The heart is spread “like a bed of flowers” — soft, welcoming, and fragrant. The beloved is compared to an innocent child, highlighting pure, unconditional care.

3. Rejecting fate – The speaker refuses to let fate take even one step onto their path. This is a declaration of free will: love chooses its own direction. The “whirlpool” symbolizes danger or despair, from which the speaker’s embrace rescues the beloved.

4. Erasing past pain – “Those days when we were crushed in the fangs of darkest night” are explicitly left behind. The moonlight represents healing and new beginnings. The pain of separation is physically removed from the room.

5. Gathering tears into an ocean – The beloved’s tears (compared to the Kaveri river) are not dismissed but collected and transformed into something vast — an ocean. This means the speaker honors their pain and absorbs it, turning sorrow into shared depth.

6. Facing destruction together – The final vow is absolute: “even if destruction or death stands before us, I will not let go of your hand.” This is love as rebellion against mortality.
