Understanding Through Self-Script

Better keep that wire brush aside for now,
it's not meant for me, you know!
Lost in your placid, gentle demeanor, out of mere courtesy
I'm not that girl who'd betray the truth for ideals!

I'm not afraid of being some waterfowl trapped at quicksand's mouth.
So don't waste time anymore trying uselessly to trap me.
If you do, you'll be wrong.
Don't knowingly pave the road to untimely regret.

Know this well—whatever wrong you do the very next day, I'll never forgive.
I'm simply not your noble girl, not at all!

What were you thinking?
That you'd set me adrift on fate's pretext?
Don't forget, I'm no lotus-seat floating by, not even by mistake.
I stand firm in the faith of ages, won't drift away in some careless moment.
I wasn't born to drown!
So I'm telling you plainly, you go right now...go back!

Don't dare anymore to set me adrift on fate's ocean.
I'm not afraid of fate!
Time and again I've learned from whoever crossed my path,
what more can their ocean make me drift!

With your lover-boy bodies
don't even think of touching the kohl of my eyes!
I'm not the light of your dark deer-eyes.
Think of me instead as sand in your eyes—that'll serve you better in the end!

If you touch the kohl of my eyes, it will burn to ash in pure darkness!
Rather, if you can,
live your own way then!

If you don't,
for the grave crime of snatching away my right to live,
I won't let you live either!
Know this, I'm nothing but a bandit girl!
Though to you, this is hardly anything new!
