Har Dam Ali Maula Kahija

바흐의 선율에 젖은 날에는 
잊었던 기억들이 피어나네요 
바람에 날려간 나의 노래도 
휘파람 소리로 돌아오네요 
내 조그만 
공간 속에 
추억만 쌓이고 
까닭 모를 눈물만이 아른거리네  작은 가슴을 모두 모두어 
시를 써 봐도 모자란 당신 
먼지가 되어 날아가야지 
바람에 날려 당신곁으로 
바흐의 선율에 젖은 날에는 
잊었던 기억들이 피어나네요 
바람에 날려간 나의 노래도 
휘파람 소리로 돌아오네요 
내 조그만 
공간 속에 
추억만 쌓이고 
까닭 모를 눈물만이 아른거리네 
작은 가슴을 모두 모두어 
시를 써 봐도 모자란 당신 
먼지가 되어 날아가야지 
바람에 날려 당신곁으로 
잊어야 한다는 마음으로 
지나간 시간은 추억에 
묻히면 그만인 것을 
나는 왜 이렇게 긴긴밤을 
또 잊지 못해 세울까 
먼지가되어 



 
먼지가되어 
당신 곁으로

Overall Meaning:

The lyrics of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's song "Har Dam Ali Maula Kahija" express feelings of nostalgia and yearning. The opening lines suggest that the music of Bach has the power to awaken long-forgotten memories. The singer reflects on how even their own song, carried away by the wind, comes back as a distant whistle. In their small space of existence, only memories accumulate, and tears of an unknown reason fill their eyes. They try to write poetry about the person they miss so much, but all attempts fall short. The only solution they can see is to turn to dust and fly with the wind to be near their loved one again.

The second verse shows the singer struggling to forget the past and move on. They try to bury the memories of the past in nostalgia, but it only makes them remember more. The singer spends sleepless nights, wondering why they can't forget the person they lost. The song ends with a repeated refrain that the singer will turn to dust and fly with the wind to be with their loved one once again.

Overall, the song is a poignant expression of longing, nostalgia, and a deep sense of loss. The music, like Bach's melody, invokes feelings of introspection and melancholy. The lyrics speak to anyone who has felt the pain of separation or loss and the hope that they will one day be reunited with their loved one.
