I think she is saying, the day I die will be the day I won't have these memories. She is actually asking Mahendra(Naseeruddin Shah) to allow her to keep his memories or let her die with those memories. Gulzar is a wonderful poet.

I cant read Hindi...can you translate?

Some of my favorite lyrics from my favorite band - The Beatles



Half of what I say is meaningless, but I say it just to reach you, Julia

(Julia)


Limitless, undying love that shines around me like a million suns, it calls me on and on, across the universe

(Across the Universe). This entire song is a masterpiece in song-writing.



Nothing you can do but you can learn how to be you in time

&

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

(All you need is love)


Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

(Strawberry Fields Forever)


Life is very short and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

(We can work it out)



And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

(The end)



There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed.

Some forever, not for better. Some are gone, and some remain.

Though these places have their moments of lovers and friends I still can recall.

Some are dead and some are living. In my life, I've loved them all.

(In my life)


Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

(Because)


And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain, don't carry the world upon your shoulder

Well, you know, it's just a fool who plays it cool by making his world a little colder

(Hey Jude)


Doesn't have a point of view, knows not where he's going to

Isn't he a bit like you and me

(Nowhere man)


Your day breaks, your mind aches

You find that all the words of kindness linger on when she no longer needs you.

(For no one)


Waits at the window

Wearing the face that she keeps in a jar by the door

Who is it for?

(Eleanor Rigby)


And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me

Shine until tomorrow, let it be smiley19

(Let it be)


Was she told when she was young

That pain would lead to pleasure?

Did she understand it when they said

That a man must break his back

To earn his day of leisure?

Will she still believe it when he's dead?

(Girl) Gosh- what a beauty of a song! smiley19


Everybody seems to think I'm lazy, I don't mind, I think they're crazy

Running everywhere at such a speed, till they find there's no need

(I'm only sleeping)


When your prized possessions start to wear you down

Look in my direction, I'll be 'round

(And your bird can sing)


But listen to the color, of your dreams

It is not living, it is not living

Or play the game "Existence" to the end

Of the beginning, of the beginning

(Tomorrow never knows)


I'd give you everything I've got for a little peace of mind

(I'm so tired)



Oh my god.. I can go on and on. Every song of theirs probably has a line that I love. So I'll turn it over to you guys. What are your favorite Beatles lyrics?

The long and winding road (I love this Beatles number just as I love all their songs!)

Lyrics

The long and winding road

That leads to your door

Will never disappear

I've seen that road before

It always leads me here

Lead me to you door

The wild and windy night

That the rain washed away

Has left a pool of tears

Crying for the day

Why leave me standing here?

Let me know the way

Many times I've been alone

And many times I've cried

Anyway, you'll never know

The many ways I've tried

And still they lead me back

To the long winding road

You left me standing here

A long, long time ago

Don't leave me waiting here

Lead me to your door

But still they lead me back

To the long winding road

You left me standing here

A long, long time ago

Don't keep me waiting here

Lead me to your door

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

And the LSD phase lol

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lyrics

Picture yourself in a boat on a river

With tangerine trees and marmalade skies

Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly

A girl with kaleidoscope eyes

Cellophane flowers of yellow and green

Towering over your head

Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes

And she's gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Ah

Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain

Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies

Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers

That grow so incredibly high

Newspaper taxis appear on the shore

Waiting to take you away

Climb in the back with your head in the clouds

And you're gone

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Ah

Picture yourself on a train in a station

With plasticine porters with looking glass ties

Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile

The girl with the kaleidoscope eyes

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Ah

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Ah

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

A hard day's night

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been workin' like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleepin' like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
You make me feel alright

You know I work all day
To get your money to buy your things
And it's worth it just to hear you say
You're gonna give me everything

So why on Earth should I moan?
'Cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
When I'm home
Feeling you holding me tight
Tight, yeah!

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been workin' like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleepin' like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
You make me feel alright
Aow!

So why on Earth should I moan?
'Cause when I get you alone
You know I feel okay

When I'm home
Everything seems to be right
When I'm home
Feeling you holding me tight
Tight, yeah!

It's been a hard day's night
And I've been workin' like a dog
It's been a hard day's night
I should be sleepin' like a log

But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
You make me feel alright

You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

Gosh, Lucy in the sky with diamonds is so quintessentially John.


Newspaper Taxis, Tangerine trees, marmalade skies, kaleidoscope eyes... how did he come up with such stuff? smiley36


Another one is I'm the Walrus:


Sitting on a cornflake

Waiting for the van to come smiley37

(What does he mean? Is he waiting for the milk van to add milk to his breakfast cereal? smiley39)


Mister city policeman sitting pretty

Little policemen in a row (this sounds like poetry when John sings it smiley36)


I am the eggman

They are the eggmen

I am the walrus

Goo goo g' joob smiley37




and Come together:


Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly

He got ju-ju eyeball, he one holy roller smiley37

He got hair down to his knee

Got to be a joker, he just do what he please
