Susheela Raman - Taboo

SUSHEELA RAMAN TABOO featuring Rizwan-Muazzam Qawal and Phaedra Ensemble Track 6/8 from “Queen Between Live at NYUAD, Abu Dhabi“ Lyrics: Borne aloft, the special ones Immortal queens with catch-planet teeth Suspended between heaven and earth Never to touch the ground You Malabar grooms and warriors and witches on the way to the fire know you better stay above the ground don’t let your feet ever touch the ground You better stay out of the light a fork in the path, taboo taboo a name in the dark, taboo taboo keep them apart so the work can start Ah girls, your moonstruck time has come Hide in the fields, never see the sun Your fluttering eyelids cause hurricanes Old Zoroaster said you are the devil come Prince Eclipse and his courtesan strike sparks all night, come daybreak, he’s gone, to keep him close and dark and warm she killed the crow that called the dawn so he stepped into morning sun turned to ash, slipped through her palm, he should have stayed out of the light a fork in the path, taboo taboo a name in the dark, taboo taboo one circuit ends and another one starts ki jana me kon bhuley Na main moimen wich maseetan Na main wich kufar diay reetan Na main pakan wich paleeta Na main moosa na firoon Translation:I do not know who I am, Bulleh. I am not a worshipper in a mosque I am not an unbeliever in my ways I am neither of the pure or the blemished I am neither Moses nor the Pharaoh The mullah says one eye is good enough for you The mullah says one eye is going to see you through
