[Intro]
Tu aayi
You showed up.
Tu aayi
You appeared.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why’d you even bother?
Tu aayi
You arrived.
Tu aayi
You came.
Tu aayi
You were there.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why’d you ruin my peace?
Tu aayi
You came back.
Tu aayi
You showed your face.
Tu milan aayi kyun?
What was the point of this meeting?
[Pre-Chorus]
Tu aayi
You appeared.
Tu aayi
You showed up.
Tu aayi
You surfaced.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why’d you come to haunt me?
Tu aayi
You came.
Tu aayi
You stood there.
Tu aayi
You returned.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why mess with my head again?
Tu aayi
You showed up.
Tu aayi
You came.
Tu milan aayi kyun?
Why even try to reconcile?
[Chorus]
Kaaliyan raatan
Those pitch-black nights.
Ni jad milday si apaan
When we used to sneak off together.
Kaaliyan raatan
Dark, silent nights.
Kaaliyan raatan
Nights lost in shadows.
Ni jad milday si apaan
Back when we were united.
Milday si apaan
Our secret encounters.
[Verse 1]
Dunya to hokay majboor
Forced by a world that didn't understand.
Milday si apaan dowein jaakay kitay door
We’d escape to the middle of nowhere.
Rabb puchay kida kida ae kasoor
Even God wonders who was the real villain.
Kinne dil toreya hai kida
Who betrayed whom?
Hun ki mein akhan
What’s left to say?
Dunya to hokay majboor
Broken by the world's pressure.
Milday si apaan dowein jaakay kitay door
We ran far to be together.
Rabb puchay kida kida ae kasoor
Fate kept score.
Kidaan phulan tenu
How am I supposed to erase you?
Te phulan mein hun teriyan yaadan
Or let go of all these painful ghosts?
[Chorus]
Kaaliyan raatan
Those lonely nights.
Kaaliyan raatan
The darkness we shared.
Ni jad milday si apaan
When we were inseparable.
Milday si apaan
Our hidden dates.
Karde si pyaar diyaan baatan
We whispered promises in the dark.
Pyaar diyaan baatan
Lies or truths, who knows.
Chete ne meinu kaaliyan raatan
I still remember every cold night.
[Interlude]
Tu aayi
You returned.
Tu aayi
You showed up.
Tu aayi
You appeared.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why ruin my recovery?
Tu aayi
You came.
Tu aayi
You stood there.
Tu aayi
You were there.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why open old wounds?
Tu aayi
You surfaced.
Tu aayi
You came back.
Tu milan aayi kyun?
Why look for closure now?
[Verse 2]
Tera mera dil ik jagah tikda hi nahi
Neither of our hearts knows how to settle.
Kha ke pyaar wali satt
Scarred by this love.
Eh sikhda hi nahi
It never learns its lesson.
Phajji janda tere pichay
Always chasing after your shadow.
Metho rukda hi nahi
My heart just won't obey me.
Jinna marzi mein laa laan zor
No matter how hard I try to resist.
Tera mera dil ik jagah tikda hi nahi
We’re just two restless spirits.
Kha ke pyaar wali satt
The wounds of love are deep.
Eh sikhda hi nahi
It just won't grow up.
Phajji janda pichay tere
Running back to you blindly.
Metho rukda hi nahi
Stubbornly refusing to stop.
Jinna marzi mein laa lan zorr
Giving it my everything.
Te jadd aan barsatan
And when the clouds burst.
Ni jad pein barsatan
As the rain pours down.
Akhan cho hanjo digday ki aakhan
Tears mix with the rain, what else can I say?
Laiyaan si mein tan jhootiyan aasanan
I built a life on your false promises.
[Chorus]
Kaaliyan raatan
The nights we wasted.
Kaaliyan raatan
The black abyss.
Ni jad milday si apaan
When we were a thing.
Milday si apaan
Our secret meetings.
Karde si pyaar diyaan baatan
We traded sweet talk.
Pyaar diyaan baatan
Empty words of love.
Chete ne meinu kaaliyan raatan
Those nights are branded in my mind.
[Post-Chorus]
Tu aayi
You appeared.
Tu aayi
You showed up.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why do this to me?
Tu aayi
You came.
Tu aayi
You returned.
Tu aayi
You came back.
Tu aayi kyun?
Why keep digging?
Tu aayi
You showed up.
Tu aayi
You appeared.
Tu milan aayi kyun?
Why try to make amends?
Everybody just scream
Everyone scream it out!
