Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo

At the request of Z.

Another favorite from my teen years. I know this one by heart. After I lost my music collection, it was impossible for me to replace this cassette. For years I searched in the stores. Then, one day, I stumbled upon Sa Re Ga Ma's Hamara CD website, I almost payed $30 USD for a CD of this soundtrack to be custom made in India and mailed to the US. A few years later, with the legal digital download and mp3 revolution, it was being sold in iTunes and I quickly bought it and a few other OSTs I had been dying to listen to. To me it's still a miracle that I can legally buy more and more soundtracks from Indian labels from the convenience of my desk. I mean who would have ever thought I could go to Walmart's website and buy desi music? mp3s are still a miracle to me, the fact that I have 19,000 songs in my pocket on the iPod instead of 10 or so on the old Sony Walkman is still a modern miracle for me.

Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
don't make me remember you
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
(please) come before I remember you
(in other words, don't give me the chance to miss you, come before that)
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Ohhhhh
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Ohhhh
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Kyun Saari Duniya Ki Badnaami Lete Ho?
why are you out to marr your reputation in front of the whole world?
Kyun Saari Duniya Ki Badnaami Lete Ho?
Kyun Naam Mera Le Ke Awaazein Dete Ho?
why do you cry out my name with your voice?
Awaazein Dete Ho, Awaazein Dete Ho?
Aankhon Ke Ishaaron Se Tum Mujh Ko Bulaaya Karo
use eye contact to call me (instead)
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo,
Haye, Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Panghat Par Pardesi Pyaasa Marr Jayega
a foreigner will die at the well
Panghat Par Pardesi Pyaasa Marr Jayega
Yeh Dil Deewana Hai,
Yeh Dil Deewana Hai, Yeh Kuch Karr Jayega
this heart is crazy/mad, it will do something
Yeh Kuch Karr Jayega
Apne Deewane Par Zulfon Ka Saaya Karro
shade (me,) your crazy/mad one, with your hair
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Dil Ke Andar Bahar Ek Dard Sa Uth Tha Hai
inside and outside the heart, a pain rises
Dil Ke Andar Bahar Ek Dard Sa Uth Tha Hai
Aaise Jaise Koi Kaanta Sa Chubh Tha Hai
it feels like a thorn's prick
Kaanta Sa Chubh Tha Hai
Yaan Paas Na Aaya Karo
either don't come near me
Yaan Dur Na Jayo Karo
or don't go far away from me
Yaan Dur Na Jayo Karo
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Haye, Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Reshma... Baadal...
Reshma... Baadal... Baadal... Baadal
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Chhota Sa Milan Tha Woh
it was such a short encounter
Lambi Yeh Judaai Hai
this separation is long
Chhota Sa Milan Tha Woh
Lambi Yeh Judaai Hai
Aa Jao Ke Jaan Meri Hothon Par Aayee Hai
come, my life (my last breath) is on my lips
Aa Jao, Aa Jao, Aa Jao,
Aa Jao Ke Jaan Meri Hothon Par Aayee Hai
Tum Bhool Gaye Vaada, Vaada Na Bhulaya Karo
you've forgotten your promise, you should not forget your promise
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Haye, Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Jab Chand Sitaaron Ki Baarat Guzarti Hai
Jab Chand Sitaaron Ki Baarat Guzarti Hai
when the wedding procession of the moon and the stars passes by
Sau Saal Guzarte Hai, Ek Raat Guzarti Hai
a hundred years pass by, one night passes by
(above lines basically mean, when night falls, and the stars and the moon come out, even though only one night has elapsed, it feels like a hundred years)
Ek Raat Guzarti Hai
Tum Naino Se Naino Ki Nindiya Na Churraya Karo
Haye, Nindiya Na Churraya Karo
Yaad Aane Se Pehle Tum Aa Jaaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Haye, Yaad Na Aaya Karo

Aa Jao, Aa Jao, Aa Jao Nahin Tau Hum Duniya Se Jaate Hai
come, or else I'll leave this world
Aa Jao Nahin Tau Hum Duniya Se Jaate Hai
Aa Jao, Aa Jao
Ae Jaan Kahan Ho Tum? Dekho, Hum Aate Hai
love, where are you? look, here I come
Ae Jaan Kahan Ho Tum? Dekho, Hum Aate Hai
Marr Jayenge Ro Ro Ke
i'll die crying
Hum Ko Na Rulaya Karo
don't make me cry
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
Tum Yaad Na Aaya Karo
