hasdi hai tan
phul ne jhardhey
turdi hay tan

iyon lagdai jion ajj di gal hai
iyon lagdai jion hun

ai keha chhal kehi bhatkan
soch meri hairaan barri hai
os kurhi nu tol rahi hai

oss kudi nu meri saunh hai
os kudi nu apni saunh hai
os kudi nu sab di saunh hai
os kudi nu rab di saunh hai


jey kittey parhdi sunhdi hove
jeyundi jan o mar rahi hovey
ik vari aa ke mil javey
vafa meri nu daag na laavey

nahi tan maithon
jia na janda
geet koi likhia na janda
nahi tan maithon jia
na janda
geet koi likhia na janda
nahi tan maithon
jia na janda



TRANSLATION


A girl
whose name is love
simple, dainty
a lovely sight
she is lost
lost
lost
she is lost

Her face
A fairy's likeness,
temper
a picture of Mary
when she laughts
the petals fall
when she walks
a melody plays
her graceful height
like a wicker tree

her years are still of nascence
but the language of eyes
she comprehends

she is lost from many
births ago
though it seems as affair of
yesterday
why, it seems an affair of today
why, it seems this
moments affair
just now she stood by my side
and now she has vanished
what trick what chase is this
my senses, they're mystified
searching for that girl

I call out to that girl in my name
I call out to that girl on her name
I call out to that girl in the name of all
I call out to her in the name of god

if she reads or hears this
if she be alive or dying
come and meet me once
do not sully my devotion

lest I can't live
nor write a word
lest I can't live
nor write a word
lest I can't live

The Eels - I Need Some Sleep

I need some sleep
It can't go on like this
I tried counting sheep
But there's one I always miss
Everyone says I'm getting down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

I need some sleep
Time to put the old horse down
I'm in too deep
And the wheels keep spinning 'round
Everyone says I'm getting' down too low
Everyone says you just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go
You just gotta let it go

You just gotta let it go

Eels - That's Not Her Way

Yeah, she's all right
Just floatin' through her day
People throwin' words 'round
And talkin' such trash
There's so much she could say
That's not her way

That's not her way

Oh, I've been a fool
Other things on my mind
It's not hard to assess
The many terrible things she could say
But that's not her way

People, that's not her way

Yeah, she's all right
She knows who she is
She could stop and remind me of
The many ways she brightens my day
That's not her way

People, that's not her way

Eels - Her

Nobody's quite sure how it became
That something so good
Could become of this day
But she's like a dream
Where you've lost all your fear

And in this life you're lucky to have
Even one good friend
And it's her that i'll miss in the end

Love stories come
And then love stories go
But this is the one
That i'll always know
She is the one that makes me believe

And in this life you've got yourself
On which you can depend
But it's her that i'll miss in the end
Yeah it's her that i'll miss in the end

Love is a word that gets thrown 'round a lot
Sometimes it means something
Other times not
But she is the greatest love i'll ever know

And in this life you'll never know
What's waiting 'round the bend
But it's her that i'll miss in the end
Yeah it's her that i'll miss in the end
It's her that i'll miss in the end

The Eels - Trouble With Dreams

There's nothing that i wanna do
More than get along and be with you
Trouble with dreams is they don't come true
And when they do they can't catch up to you

You don't need a thing from me
But i need something big from you
'cause you know i've got
An awful lot of big dreams

I'm walking down a lonely road
Clear to me now but i was never told
Trouble with dreams is you never know
When to hold on and when to let go

If you let me down it's alright
At least that leaves something for me
'cause you know i've got
An awful lot of big dreams

This is the life that i must lead now
Crossing fingers and wiping brow
Trouble with dreams is you can't pretend
Something with no beginning has an end

You don't need a thing from me
But i need something big from you
'cause you know i've got an awful lot of big dreams
