He Said One Day You’ll Leave This World Behind Lyrics
(Hey)
Once upon a younger year
When all our shadows disappeared
The animals inside came out to play
(Hey) Went face to face with all our fears
Learned our lessons through the tears
Made memories we knew would never fade
Translation: (Hey)
Ek baar ki baat hai, jawani (younger) ke saalon mein
Jab hamaare saare saaye (shadows) gayab (disappeared) ho gaye
Andar ke janwar (animals) bahar aa gaye khelne (play)
(Hey) Apne saare daro (fears) ke saamne aaye (face to face)
Aansuon (tears) ke zariye apne sabak (lessons) seekhe
Yaadein (memories) banayi jo kabhi nahi mitni (fade) thi
One day my father he told me
“Son, don’t let it slip away”
He took me in his arms, I heard him say (Hey)
“When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid”
Translation: Ek din mere papa (father) ne mujhe bataya
“Beta, ise haath se mat nikalne (slip away) do”
Unhone mujhe baahon (arms) mein liya, maine unhe kehte suna (Hey)
“Jab tum bade (older) ho jaaoge
Tumhara jangli (wild) dil jawani (younger) ke dino ke liye jiye ga
Mujhe yaad karna agar kabhi tum darr (afraid) jao”
He said, “One day you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember”
My father told me when I was just a child
“These are the nights that never die”
My father told me
Translation: Unhone kaha, “Ek din tum is duniya (world) ko chhod (leave) doge
Toh aisi zindagi (life) jiyo jo tumhe yaad (remember) rahe”
Mere papa ne mujhe bataya jab main bachcha (child) tha
“Yeh raatein (nights) kabhi nahi marti (die)”
Mere papa ne mujhe bataya
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
When thunderclouds start pouring down
Light a fire they can’t put out
Carve your name into those shining stars
He said, “Go venture far beyond the shores
Don’t forsake this life of yours
I’ll guide you home no matter where you are”
Translation: Jab bijli ke baadal (thunderclouds) barasne (pouring) lagein
Aisi aag (fire) jalao jo bujha (put out) na sake
Apna naam un chamakte (shining) sitaaron (stars) mein khoda (carve) karo
Unhone kaha, “Samundar (shores) se bahut door (beyond) tak jaao
Apni is zindagi (life) ko mat bhulao (forsake)
Main tumhe ghar (home) le aaunga, chahe tum kahin bhi ho”
One day my father, he told me
“Son, don’t let it slip away”
When I was just a kid, I heard him say
“When you get older
Your wild heart will live for younger days
Think of me if ever you’re afraid”
Translation: Ek din mere papa ne mujhe bataya
“Beta, ise haath se mat nikalne do”
Jab main bachcha tha, maine unhe kehte suna
“Jab tum bade ho jaaoge
Tumhara jangli dil jawani ke dino ke liye jiye ga
Mujhe yaad karna agar kabhi tum darr jao”
He said, “One day you’ll leave this world behind
So live a life you will remember”
My father told me when I was just a child
“These are the nights that never die”
My father told me
Translation: Unhone kaha, “Ek din tum is duniya ko chhod doge
Toh aisi zindagi jiyo jo tumhe yaad rahe”
Mere papa ne mujhe bataya jab main bachcha tha
“Yeh raatein kabhi nahi marti”
Mere papa ne mujhe bataya
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
“These are the nights that never die”
My father told me
Translation: (Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
“Yeh raatein kabhi nahi marti”
Mere papa ne mujhe bataya
(Hey, hey)
(Hey, hey)
(Ooh-woah, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh)
(Hey, hey)
(Hey)
My father told me
Translation: Mere papa ne mujhe bataya
