Koi Jo Mila (Breathless)
Shankar Mahadevan
When I Found You (Breathless)
When I found someone, it felt like
My whole world was filled with songs
And a shower of colors, a burst of fragrance
Now the air is all fragrant
Now the winds are all alive
Now the directions are all lost
Now the gestures are all changed
Hope has awakened, my heart is racing
There’s a storm in my breath, melodies on my lips
There are dreams in my eyes, moments from the past in those dreams
When someone came, they captured my gaze
They settled in my heart, how do I tell you
How I found them, with lovely curls scattered on their face
It felt like behind the fog
A dew-kissed flower bloomed
A moon hidden in the clouds
Peeking out like it’s behind the night’s curtain
A dawn shining bright in my eyes
A sea of dreams wrapped in a blanket of love
Like it’s shimmering
When waves talk, it’s like pearls raining down
Like somewhere silver anklets are ringing
Like somewhere glasses are clinking
And shattering softly like a star plays a tune
Like someone dances on a moonlit night
Like someone calls you close
What sweet words were shared
What lovely meetings we had
When I realized
How hearts melt through gazes
And how desires find their destination
And how the moon descends to the earth
How it sometimes feels like heaven
It’s right here
It made me, and it taught me
When we met, we were meant to meet like this
The flowers that bloomed, were meant to bloom like this
The bonds of lifetimes, the ties of lifetimes
Whenever we are born, we meet right here
In my ears, like honey, it started to blend
Like the doors of dreams began to open in my eyes
How beautiful the world of dreams is
How colorful the world of dreams was
That was meant to be said but was nowhere to be found
When my dreams shattered, when my eyes opened
When I regained my senses
I saw and I understood
That one who once came, captured my gaze
Settled in my heart, has now departed
And my heart is now all alone
There are no desires, no wishes
And no dreams left
Now my days and now my nights
Are filled only with tears
They speak only of pain and sorrow
And cries for help
I still have no one, I’m lost
In memories of love.
