FML (City Sessions, Vol. 2 (Side A)) Lyrics Translation (from “City Sessions, Vol. 2”)

The lyrics tell the story of life’s little disappointments, like a biscuit drowning in tea. A standout line, ‘I had an envelope full of happiness, but it stayed locked away in a drawer,’ captures the theme of missed chances. The songwriter uses everyday objects to describe deeper struggles.

Chaaha jab bhi kuchWhenever I wanted something,
Kuch aur hi milaI always got something else entirely.
Hota hai ye kyun har dafaWhy does this happen every single time?
Zindagi ki chai mein biscuit giraMy biscuit fell into life’s cup of tea,
Wo bhi hai kya mujhse khafais it upset with me too?
Mere haathon kiIn the lines,
In lakeeron meinetched into my palms,
Shayad aisa hi likhamaybe it’s written just like this.
Khushiyon ka tha ik lifafa meraI had an envelope full of happiness,
Daraaz mein hi band reh gayabut it stayed locked away in a drawer.
Kuch hi yaar theI only had a few friends,
Wo bhi chal padeand they’ve moved on too,
Apni kismaton ki raah peon the paths of their own destinies.
Mere haathon kiIn the lines,
In lakeeron meinetched into my palms,
Kyun na kuch aur hai likhawhy isn’t something else written?
Naseeb mein mereIn my fate,
Khote sikke hi raheonly worthless coins remain.
Ummeed rakh ke kya faaydaWhat’s the point of holding onto hope?
Kal mili thi billi sadak pe mujheI met a cat on the road yesterday,
Hadbada ke wo bhi mud gayiand even she turned away in a panic.
Sochti hai kya, mujhko hai pataI know what she’s thinking,
Kat na jaaye uska raastashe’s afraid I’ll cross her path and ruin her day.
Mere haathon kiIn the lines,
In lakeeron meinetched into my palms,
Kuch ajeeb sa hi likhasomething strange is written.
Hai zara magarIt’s just a little bit, but
Jo bhi hai milawhatever I’ve been given,
Le lun uss mein jeene ka mazaI’ll find the joy of living in it.
(Jeene ka maza)(The joy of living).
