Talwiinder’s Kaaliyan Raatan Lyrics Translation
The lyrics describe how they were “forced by the pressures of the world” to meet far from everyone. He then confesses his heart does not learn its lesson from love and continues to run after this person. This shows an internal conflict between logic and feeling.
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi KyuYou came, you came, you came, but why did you come?
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Milne Aayi KyuYou came, you came, but why did you come to see me?
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi KyuYou came, you came, you came, but why did you come?
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Milne Aayi KyuYou came, you came, but why did you come to see me?
Kaaliyan Raatan Jadd Milde Si ApaOn those black nights when we used to meet
Kaaliyan Raatan Kaaliyan RaatanThose black nights, those black nights
Jadd Milde Si Apa Milde Si ApaWhen we used to meet, we used to meet
Duniya Te Hoke MajboorForced by the pressures of the world
Milde Si Apa Dove Jagg Kitte DoorWe both used to meet, far away from everyone
Rabb Pucche Kida Kida Ae KasoorGod asks whose fault it was
Kine Dil Todeya Kida Hun Ki Main AnkhaWho broke whose heart, what can I say now?
Duniya Te Hoke MajboorForced by the pressures of the world
Milde Si Apa Dove Jagg Kitte DoorWe both used to meet, far away from everyone
Rabb Pucche Kida Kida Ae KasoorGod asks whose fault it was
Kinna Dil Todeya Kida Ae Ki AankhanHow much the heart was broken, what can I even say?
Kaaliyan Raatan Kaaliyan RaatanThose black nights, those black nights
Jadd Milde Si Apa Milde Si ApaWhen we used to meet, we used to meet
Karde Si Pyaar Diya BaatanWe’d talk about love
Pyaar Diya BaatanTalk about love
Je Tainu Mainu Kaaliyan RaatanThose black nights with you and me
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi KyuYou came, you came, you came, but why did you come?
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Milne Aayi KyuYou came, you came, but why did you come to see me?
Tera Mera Dil Ek Jagah Tikta Hi NahiThis heart of mine and yours just won’t stay in one place
Khaake Pyar Wali Ye Sikhda Hi NahiIt’s been burned by love, but it never learns
Bhagi Janda Tere Pichhe Maithon Rukta Hi NayiIt keeps running after you and I just can’t stop it
Jinna Marzi Main Lala ZorNo matter how hard I try
Tera Mera Dil Ek Jagah Tikta Hi NahiThis heart of mine and yours just won’t stay in one place
Khaake Pyar Wali Ye Sikhda Hi NahiIt’s been burned by love, but it never learns
Bhagi Janda Tere Pichhe Maithon Rukta Hi NayiIt keeps running after you and I just can’t stop it
Jinna Marzi Main Lala ZorNo matter how hard I try
Re Jad Hon Barsataan NiWhen the rains begin to fall
Jad Pein BarsataanWhen the downpour comes
Ankha To Hanju Ki AakhanTears fall from my eyes, what can I say?
Layi Asi Main Jhuthiya AasaI held on to false hopes
Kaaliyan Raatan Kaaliyan RaatanThose black nights, those black nights
Jadd Milde Si Apa Milde Si ApaWhen we used to meet, we used to meet
Karde Si Pyaar Diya BaatanWe’d talk about love
Pyaar Diya BaatanTalk about love
Je Tainu Mainu Kaaliyan RaatanThose black nights with you and me
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Aayi KyuYou came, you came, you came, but why did you come?
Tu Aayi Tu Aayi Tu Milne Aayi KyuYou came, you came, but why did you come to see me?
The song holds this feeling of unresolved tension between a remembered past and a confusing present. It captures the specific shock of an old love’s unexpected return. The “Kaaliyan Raatan” lyrics’ meaning is rooted in this bewildering moment after heartbreak.
