A Song I’m Hooked To.

This is Bachpan by Kaavish, an extremely talented duo that’s just recently launched their debut album Gunkali. The video is equally moving as the song, and director Umar Anwar adds to his extensive repertoire of excellent videos.

The video, as is obvious when you see it, revolves around a young man’s funeral, and everybody else’s feelings on losing a loved one. I’ve been listening to the song ever since I bought Gunkali a few days ago, and thought it was an appropriate soundtrack for my post a couple of days ago.

The song’s been remastered on the album (the video was released a while ago), and its even better. Do listen if you get the chance. A translation of the lyrics after the break.

This is where, in some moment
We played together, me and you
All of us
In those memories gone,
In that lovely talk,
I look for you everywhere
I look for you in my dreams.

You are in my memories.

Innocent lives, full of happiness
With these butterflies, we kept fluttering
Where did this all go?
This is my prayer:
That we stay this way,
All of us, together
That this does not break,
This bond.

In the shade of this friendship
We walked through every hardship
All happiness from each other,
And the heart keeps saying,

You are in my memories.

This is where, in some moment
We played together, me and you
All of us
In those memories gone,
In that lovely talk,
I look for you everywhere
I look for you in my dreams.
