yade yade kyu, hame tadpane chali
yade yaade kyu, hame tadpane chali
maine unhe roka tha, maine unhe roka tha
yade meri yade meri, yade meri yade meri
yade yade kyu hame tadpane chali

pato pe chalna aanchal ka girna
yado ke sang yu girna sambhalna
pato pe chalna aanchal ka girna
yado ke sang yu girna sambhalna
aankho me shabnam shabnam pe katre
aansu banege moti lagenge
yade yade kyu, hame tadpaane chali

chhota sa gavo pedo ki chhao
behte wo jharne wo bhige pao
chhota sa gavo pedo ki chhao
behte wo jharne wo bhige pao
haat me sare chamke sitare
gujre the din jo mere tumhare
yade yade kyu, hame tadpane chali
maine unhe roka tha, maine unhe roka tha
yade meri yade meri, yade meri yade meri
yade yade kyu, hame tadpane chali

Memories, oh memories, why do you torment?
Memories, oh memories, why do you torment?
I tried to hold them back, I tried to hold them back.
Memories, my memories, memories, my memories.
Memories, oh memories, why do you torment?

Footsteps on leaves, a veil falling free,
With memories, falling, then finding me.
Footsteps on leaves, a veil falling free,
With memories, falling, then finding me.
Tears in the eyes, like droplets of dew,
Tears will become pearls, shimmering, new.
Memories, oh memories, why do you torment?

A small village, beneath shadows deep,
The flowing streams, where wet feet did sleep.
A small village, beneath shadows deep,
The flowing streams, where wet feet did sleep.
Stars in my hand, all shining bright,
Days we once shared, bathed in warm light.
Memories, oh memories, why do you torment?
I tried to hold them back, I tried to hold them back.
Memories, my memories, memories, my memories.
Memories, oh memories, why do you torment?
