Kuch Kum Roshan Hai Roshni, Kuch Kum Gili Hai Baarishein..
Kuch Kum Lehrathi Hai Hawa, Kuch Kum Hai Dil Mein Kwahishein.
Tham Sa Gaya Hai, Yeh Waqt Aise, Tere Liya Hi Tehra Ho Jaise..
Mmmmm..
Kyun Meri Saans Bhi, Kuch Bhiki Si Hai
Dooriyon Se Huyie, Nazdiki Si Hai
Mmm... Kyun Meri Saans Bhi, Kuch Bhiki Si Hai
Dooriyon Se Huyie, Nazdiki Si Hai
Jaane Kya, Yeh Baath Hai
Har Subha, Aab Raat Hai..
Kuch Kum Roshan Hai Roshni, Kuch Kum Gili Hai Baarishein..
Kuch Kum Lehrathi Hai Hawa, Kuch Kum Hai Dil Mein Kwahishein..
Tham Sa Gaya Hai, Yeh Waqt Aise, Tere Liya Hi Tehra Ho Jaise
Mmmmm..
(Phool Mehke Nahin, Kuch Gumsum Se Hai
Jaise Roothe Huwe, Kuch Yeh Tumse Hai) - 2
Khusbooien Dhal Gayi, Saath Tum Aab Jo Nahin..
Kuch Kum Roshan Hai Roshni, Kuch Kum Gili Hai Baarishein..
Tham Sa Gaya Hai, Yeh Waqt Aise, Tere Liya Hi Tehra Ho Jaise..
Mmmmm...
~Kuch Kum. Dostana

and for the ultimate mush, but look, I've had this disc for almost a decade now. and i like some of the songs, i actually do. now there are two versions of this song, completely different tunes yet having almost the exact lyrics. for all intents and purposes i'm listening to the one that isn't so, well, chirpy. now why is it so hard to find lyrics in jian ti.
当山峰没有棱角的时候 当河水不再流
dang shan feng mei you leng jiao de shi hou
dang he shui bu zai liu
当时间停住日夜不分 当天地万物化为虚有
dang shi jian ting zhu ri ye bu fen
dang tian di wan wu hua wei xu you
我还是不能和你分手 不能和你分手
wo hai shi bu neng he ni fen shou
bu neng he ni fen shou
你的温柔是我今生最大的守候
ni de wen rou shi wo jin sheng jui da the shou hou
让我们红尘作伴 活得潇潇洒洒
rang wo men hong chen zuo ban
huo de xiao xiao sa sa
让我们策马奔腾共享人世繁华
rang wo men che ma ben teng
gong shi ren shi fan hua
让我们对酒当歌唱出心中喜悦
rang wo men dui jiu dang ge
chang chu xin zhong xi yue
让我们轰轰烈烈 把握青春年华
rang wo men hong hong lie lie
ba wo qing chun nian hua
当太阳不再上升的时候 当地球不再转动
dang tai yang bu zai shang sheng de shi hou
dang di qiu bu zai zhuan dong
当春夏秋冬不再变换 当花草树木全部凋残
dang chun xia qiu dong bu zai bian huan
dang hua cao shu mu quan bu diao can
我还是不能和你分散 不能和你分散
wo hai shi bu neng he ni fen shou
bu neng he ni fen shou
你的笑容是我今生最大的眷恋
ni de xiao rong shi wo jin sheng jui da de juan lian
让我们红尘作伴 活得潇潇洒洒
让我们策马奔腾共享人世繁华
让我们对酒当歌唱出心中喜悦
让我们轰轰烈烈 把握青春年华
当山峰没有棱角的时候 当河水不再流
当时间停住日夜不分 当天地万物化为虚有
当山峰没有棱角的时候...
~不能和你分手/当. 还珠格格
truth to be told i love both versions. for different reasons.

i think pasting something in english would be overkill, so i won't. not that there's any particular song in mind right now. funny how songs are. like emotional amplifiers. or crutches. i'm not sure which, maybe neither. browsing through old posts, both mine and others. what new perspectives do indeed. easier to take a step back now, feeling less, feeling more, feeling different. different is good. somehow. what time does as well, but no, forget that.
