Doobay Lyrics Meaning Ankur Tewari | Akela
The songwriter describes a person as a shore for a drifting boat. He notes, “I’ve drowned, in your dreams.” The author uses images of waves and arms to talk about a deep, sad love.
Tere Khayalon MeinI don’t ever appear,
Hum Aate Nahi Hainwithin your thoughts.
Jaane Pehchane ParEven though we’re familiar,
Anjaane Se Hi Hainwe’re still just strangers.
Par Tera Mere Khwabon MeinBut you come and go,
Kaafi Aana Jaana Haiquite often in my dreams.
Wahan Toh Meri Kashti KoOver there, my drifting boat,
Tera Hi Kinara Haifinds its only shore in you.
Kinare Baithe Baithe Hi YahanWhile I’m just sitting here on the shore.
Hum DoobeI’ve drowned,
Tere Khwabon Mein Doobedrowned in your dreams.
DoobeDrowned,
Teri Baahon Mein Doobedrowned in your arms.
Doobe DoobeDrowning, drowning,
Haan Hum Doobe Yahanyes, I’m drowning right here.
Aaj Ik Baar KoJust for a moment today,
Aisa Laga Kiit felt as if,
Hum Par Hi Aakaryour gaze came to a rest,
Teri Nigahein Ruki Thiright here upon me.
Kya Tumne Pehchana ThaDid you recognize it?
Chahat Ko Meri Jaana ThaDid you know of my desire?
Pal Bhar Ka Woh Zamana ParThat world lasted only a moment, but,
Jaisa Bhi Tha Woh Hamara Thawhatever it was, it belonged to us.
Sahara Us Pal Ka Liye YahanHolding onto that moment right here.
Hum DoobeI’ve drowned,
Tere Khwabon Mein Doobedrowned in your dreams.
DoobeDrowned,
Teri Baahon Mein Doobedrowned in your arms.
Doobe DoobeDrowning, drowning,
Haan Hum Doobe Yahanyes, I’m drowning right here.
Lehron Ka Kinaron SeThe waves and the shores,
Rishta Hai Zamanon Sehave shared a bond for ages.
Behke Aaye Hum Toofanon SeI’ve drifted through the storms,
Teri Baahon Ke Kinaron Meinto the sanctuary of your arms.
Kinare Baithe Baithe Hi WahanWhile just sitting there on the shore.
Hum DoobeI’ve drowned,
Tere Khwabon Mein Doobedrowned in your dreams.
DoobeDrowned,
Teri Baahon Mein Doobedrowned in your arms.
Doobe DoobeDrowning, drowning,
Haan Hum Doobe Yahanyes, I’m drowning right here.
