In river water float my pains untold,
My tears speak words my lips can’t hold.
In tired eyes, small rivers of tears run free,
If only once, you would come back to me.
(Chorus repeat)
The wind brings news—you are no more near,
Hills, ghats, villages cry with my fear.
Like Bhatiyali waves, the ache rises inside,
Who will hear this sorrow, who’ll stand by my side?
In drumbeats I hear only your call,
Mountain shadows divide my emptiness all.
A flute by the river feels like someone came,
I count endless waves, whispering your name.
Bridge
In tired eyes, small rivers of tears run free,
If only once, you would come back to me.
From shore to shore I search your trace,
In dusty roads, in shadows’ embrace.
Dreams and hopes dissolve in tears I cry,
Only the river knows the reason why.
Moon sinks in the river, faith breaks apart,
Your memory stops my breathing heart.
Waves dance to songs of aching pain,
You were my love, my life, my gain.
