Kami Lyrics English Translation – Rishabh Vyas

Bus Ek Baar Soch Kar Dekh Ki Vo Har Ek Cheez Jo Mere Sath Huyi
Just think about it once—everything that happened to me…

Vo Tere Saath Koi Karega
…if someone were to do the same to you,

To Kya Tum Chah Kar Bhi Kabhi Sehen Kar Paoge? Nahi Kar Paoge
…would you ever be able to endure it, even if you tried? No, you wouldn’t.

Maine Kiya Hai
But I have.

Lagta Hai Mujhe Mein Gair Hoon Koi
It feels to me as if I am an outsider.

Tum Jeena Chahte Ho Aur Mein Zeher Hoon Koi
You want to live, and I am like some poison.

Aisa Dikhate Ho Thokar Sa Mujhko
You treat me like a stumbling block;

Tum Patthar Ho Jaise Mein Pair Hoon Koi
As if you are a stone, and I am the foot that trips on it.

Seher Hoon Koi
I am like a dawn,

Har Din Hi Aata Hoon Chubhta Hoon Jaise Dopahar Hoon Koi
Arriving every single day, piercing like the harsh mid-day sun.

Main Tum Mein Hi Rehta Hoon Milta Na Tumse
I live within you, yet I never meet you;

Main Lagta Hoon Gumnam Sheher Hoon Koi
I feel like some nameless, forgotten city.

Kisse Tumhare Kisse Hamare
Your stories, my stories…

Kisse Suna De Hum Kisi Bahane Se
Should I share these stories under some pretext?

Ya Phir Kahe Isko Narazgi Teri
Or should I call this your lingering anger?

Ya Tum Kabhi Bhi Nahi The Hamare
Or were you simply never mine to begin with?

Likhi Kahani Woh Panne Jala Dein
Should we burn the pages of the story we wrote?

Nishaan Na Bache Hum Wahin Pe Baha Dein
Should we wash everything away right there so no trace remains?

Yeh Dil-O-Dimag Ki Phir Se Ladayi
This conflict between the heart and the mind has begun again;

Hum Kisko Saza De Aur Kisko Panaah De
Who should I punish, and whom should I give refuge to?

Kya Kami Thi Koi Reh Gayi
Was there some shortcoming left on my part?

Kyun Tu Mujhe Adhoora Kar Gaya
Why did you leave me so incomplete?

Kya Rahe The Aansu Kam Mere
Were my tears not enough?

Ya Dil Tera Kahin Se Bhar Gaya
Or did your heart simply grow tired of me?

Kaisa Ho Main Teri Aankhon Ka Taara Hoon
How would it feel if I were the apple of your eye,

Aankhon Mein Teri Chamak Na Bache
…yet no sparkle was left in your eyes?

Kaisa Ho Dil Ka Main Tere Sahara
How would it feel if I were the support of your heart,

Woh Chalta Rahe Par Dhadak Na Bache
…and it kept beating, yet lost its true rhythm?

Kaisa Ho Laoon Mein Phool Sajaoon Mein
How would it feel if I brought flowers to adorn you,

Zulfon Mein Teri Mehak Na Bache
…yet no fragrance remained in your tresses?

Aur Kaisa Ho Tum Mujhko Maanoge
And how would it feel if you tried to reach me,

Manzil Par Aane Ko Ek Bhi Sadak Na Bache
…but not a single road was left to reach that destination?

Sadak Na Bache
Not a single road left…

Tum Lauto Toh Rehne Ko Ghar Na Bache
If you were to return, and no home was left for you to stay in?

Hum Chahte Toh Hai Dil Rahe Khush Tumhara
I do wish for your heart to remain happy,

Par Kaisa Ho Dil Ki Kadar Na Bache
…but how would it feel if no respect was left for the heart?

Kaisa Ho Dil Mein Sabar Na Bache
How would it feel if no patience was left in the heart?

Kaisa Ho Dil Phir Sambhal Na Sake
How would it feel if the heart could never gather itself back together?

Kaisa Ho Dil Phir Sambhal Na Sake
How would it feel if the heart could never gather itself back together?

Kaisa Ho Dil Phir Sambhal Na Sake
How would it feel if the heart could never gather itself back together?

Kya Kami Thi Koi Reh Gayi
Was there some shortcoming left on my part?

Kyun Tu Mujhe Adhoora Kar Gaya
Why did you leave me so incomplete?

Kya Rahe The Aansu Kam Mere
Were my tears not enough?

Ya Dil Tera Kahin Se Bhar Gaya
Or did your heart simply grow tired of me?
