A single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight,
A single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight,
My heart, it shattered outright.
Oh, shattered outright, joy took flight.
A single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight.

Never have I seen such folly,
giving hearts, they give their all, wholly.
Never have I seen such folly,
giving hearts, they give their all, wholly.
Such deeds, I have wrought,
Such deeds, I have wrought, joy took flight.
A single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight.

One in a million, a flower does not bloom,

One in a million, a flower does not bloom,
This ache, to many, finds no room.
This pain, to me, it gave,
This pain, to me, it gave, joy took flight.
A single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight.

She made pairs for everyone,
But left an empty space, for none.
She made pairs for everyone,
But left an empty space, for none.
What has fate, now, done?
What has fate, now, done? Joy took flight.
A single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight.
My heart, it shattered outright.
Oh, shattered outright, joy took flight.
Yes, a single sip of the mahua,
a single sip, and joy took flight.
