“Stay,” a melancholic Hindi ballad by King, captures the quiet desperation of clinging to fading love. King’s translated lyrics dissect post-breakup limbo through fragmented memories; Phil Cook and collaborators layer acoustic guitar arpeggios with sparse electronic beats, mirroring emotional dissonance. This introspective narrative features King’s solitary performance, framed by Disha Daswani’s use of rain-soaked urban backdrops and lingering close-ups.

King’s eponymous track “Stay” navigates love’s twilight through cyclical bargaining. Lines like “Kisi aur ko basa bhi le” (“Go settle someone else in your heart”) clash with the English chorus’s raw vulnerability, exposing cultural duality in modern romance. The Hindi refrain “Jaane jaan, tune kaise hai mujhe yoon tanha kar diya” translates to “My love, how have you left me so isolated?”
King’s Stay Lyrics In English Translation
In what world do you live? (You live?)
Ab Kuch Bhi Na Kehti Hai, Kehti Hai
You don’t say anything anymore (you say).
Kafi Dino Se Teri Khabar Na Aai
It’s been so long since I’ve heard from you.
Dil Ko To Ham Mana Bhi Le, Mana Bhi Le
I can console my heart (console it)
Kisi Aur Ko Basa Bhi Le Basa Bhi Le
and find someone else. (Find someone else.)
Par Kaise Tujhe Main Bhulu Piya
But how can I forget you, my love?
Meri Jaan Tanha Raton Mein, Dekha Khwabo Mein
My love, on lonely nights, I saw you in my dreams.
O Tujhe Dhund Raha Tuta Dil Mera
My broken heart is searching for you.
Likhi Bhi Tu Thi, Par Na Hatho Me
You were also not written in my destiny.
Tujhe Paaun Kaise Mujhko De Bata
How can I find you? Please tell me.
Jane Jaan, Tune Kaise Hai Mujhe Yun Tanha Kar Diya, Kar Diya,
My love, how could you leave me so alone? So alone!
Jane Jaan, Dil Tuta Kuch Aisa Main Uth Ke Hi Chal Diya, Chal Diya
My love, my heart is so broken that I just walked away. Walked away!
Ye Batein Reh Jayengi Chahe Ham Na Rahein
These words will remain whether we are here or not.
Ye Do Pal Mile Hain Khushi Ke Main Batun
These few moments of joy we shared,
Ke Tujhe Bhi Gam Na Rahe
I will share them so that you don’t have any sorrow.
Jo Dhundne Jaoge Mujhse Achi Wajah
If you search for a reason better than mine,
To Dhund Na Paoge Pyar Aisa Usme
you won’t find a love like mine in anyone.
Nahi Shak Mujhe
I do not doubt it.
But I Want You To Stay
Cause I Want You To Stay
Yes I Want You To Stay
Koi Baat Nahi Ye, Mera Dil Bhi Tera Hai
It’s okay. My heart also belongs to you.
Haq Ispe Kya Hi Rakhun Main
What right do I have over it?
Kya Hi Mera Hua Hai Han
What is even mine?
Koi Dilasa Mujhe De To Sahi
If someone could give me some comfort,
Leke Sahara Tera Ji Loon Zindagi
with your support, I could live my life.
Meri Jaan, Dil Dukha Kuch Aisa Ki Dard Hi Chal Diya, Chal Diya
My love, my heart is so hurt that even the pain left. Left.
Meri Jaan, Meri Jaan, Jab Sochegi Tu Bhi Ye Kya Tune Kar Diya, Kar Diya
My love (my love), when you think about what you’ve done? What you’ve done?
Ye Batein Reh Jayengi Chahe Ham Na Rahein
These words will remain whether we are here or not.
Ye Do Pal Mile Hain Khushi Ke Main Batun
These few moments of joy we shared,
Ke Tujhe Bhi Gam Na Rahe
I will share them so that you don’t have any sorrow.
Jo Dhundne Jaoge Mujhse Achi Wajah
If you search for a reason better than me,
To Dhund Na Paoge Pyar Aisa Usme
you won’t find a love like mine in anyone;
Nahi Shak Mujhe
I do not doubt it.
But I Want You To Stay
Cause I Want You To Stay
Yes I Want You To Stay
