The koel's call, a piercing cry, the koel's cry,
My love, you flood my memory, oh, you flood my mind.
A tremor in my heart takes flight, a trembling,
My love, you flood my memory, oh, you flood my mind.
The bullets of remembrance fire, the bullets fly,
My love, you flood my memory.
The koel's call, a piercing cry, the koel's cry,
My love, you flood my memory.
A tremor in my heart takes flight.
My love, you flood my memory, you flood my mind.

From street to street, the wandering minstrels sing,
The world, in love's embrace, takes wing.
From street to street, the wandering minstrels sing,
The world, in love's embrace, takes wing.
Lovers all, in every guise, lovers true, lovers,
My love, you flood my memory,
Oh, you flood my mind.

The chest that held my helplessness confined,
Where sorrows, bangles, all were intertwined,
The chest that held my helplessness confined,
Where sorrows, bangles, all were intertwined,
I open now, I open now, I open now, the chest,
My love, you flood my memory.
The bullets of remembrance fire, the bullets fly,
My love, you flood my memory.
The koel's call, a piercing cry,
My love, you flood my memory, you flood my mind.

I was not faithless, nor did he betray,
I was not faithless, nor did he betray, alas,
Between us came, between us came, God's decree,
You did not do well,
No, you did not do well, no you did not do well,
You did not treat me well,
My love, you flood my memory, my love, you flood my mind.
The bullets of remembrance fire, the bullets fly,
My love, you flood my memory.
The koel's call, a piercing cry,
My love, you flood my memory, alas,
A tremor in my heart takes flight, a trembling,
My love, you flood my memory, ah, ah,
My love, you flood my memory, alas,
My love, you flood my memory, you flood my mind.
