Mandar Bose

Mandar Bose

Verse 1 :
Past the lanes and alleys, a seven-storeyed house.
The roads empty, no cars plying.
Mandar Bose* is out on the streets.
Verse 2 :
Moving around street corners,
Searching for Mr. Hazra at Hazra Cross
Whom he of course has known for years.
Pre-chorus
No one can stop him,
No, not even you Felu Mitter..
Chorus
Mandar Bose…no one can touch him.
Mandar Bose …he won’t die ever again.

Verse 3 :
Mandar doesn’t die so easily
He has known fear, but it’s short-lived
Now his eyes burn with fire of vengeance
Verse 4:
Mandar knows no one loves Mandar
And he doesn’t give a damn.
This Brazilian scorpion wants to win and he will.

* a villain from Satyajit Ray’s Feluda stories
