Kishore Mondal | Krish Mondal – Dil Lagana Mana Tha Lyrics ( English Translation )
(Stanza 1)
Like the rest of the world, I too ended up broken.
I wasn’t always this lonely, yet here I am—left alone.
Those memories won’t leave my heart,
And sleep won’t come to me at night.
So why do dreams still visit me?
Why do they return?
(Stanza 2)
These eyes that were once lost in your love—
Why did you fill them with endless tears?
Endless tears…
(Refrain)
But it’s okay, my friends—at least this much is true:
I didn’t lose my life.
It’s okay—at least I didn’t lose my life.
(Stanza 3)
While making excuses, refusing again and again,
I ended up giving my heart
right where loving was forbidden.
I bowed my head right there
where bowing was forbidden.
Why did I spend my whole life somewhere
where even a moment’s stay was forbidden?
Why did I keep living in that lane
where going every day was forbidden?
(Stanza 4)
Like the rest of the world, I ended up broken.
I wasn’t always this lonely, yet I was abandoned.
(Stanza 5)
From the very lips that once prayed for me,
careless and hurtful words were spoken to me.
(Reflection)
Sit in solitude someday,
place the mirror of time before you.
May the face you see reflected there
not laugh at you, calling you unfaithful.
(Realization)
I gave you my heart—and it was used.
Remember, you too have a heart.
I gave you my heart—and it was exploited.
Keep this in mind: you too are human.
(Stanza 6)
I burned my heart in a place
where even lighting a lamp was forbidden.
I ended up remembering that face
which I was told to forget.
I was tested and tried,
but testing them was forbidden.
I fell in love right there
where love itself was forbidden.
(Outro)
Like the rest of the world, I ended up broken.
I wasn’t always this lonely, yet here I am—left alone.
From the same lips that once prayed for me,
unkind and careless words were spoken to me.
Song Summary & Theme:
Dil Lagana Mana Thais a poignant reflection on loving where love was forbidden. It paints a picture of emotional surrender in a space where every expression of affection was prohibited—from giving one’s heart to bowing in devotion. The lyrics contrast past intimacy with present abandonment, capturing the pain of memories that won’t fade and dreams that won’t cease. Despite the heartbreak, there’s a resilient undertone: the narrator survives, having lost love but not life. The song closes with a caution—a reminder that those capable of causing deep wounds are also human, and time’s mirror may one day reflect their own regrets.
