Suniyan Suniyan by Juss Explained

These lonely, gloomy nights
They make me think of you
Whenever I find you
I’ll sit and tell you too
The stories of my day, the moments I went through
Don’t ever forget me
I’ll never forget you

Juss begins this sweet ballad by talking about how he wishes to be with his beloved on these lonely, gloomy nights. He yearns to do mundane things with her, like just sitting with her and talk about his day. He sings that her memory stays with him forever, and he hopes that she feels the same way. ↩︎

Juss raises a complaint to his beloved. He says that he is the one always doing things for her, always showering love on her, and that she does not reciprocate at all. ↩︎

The song switches to the woman’s perspective in this verse. She sings in the same style as Juss. She tells him that he is a feature of all her conversations. And yet he is the one who always annoys her. She lifts the burden of conversation between them and he never seems to talk. She ends with the same two lines as him – that his memory stays with her forever, and she hopes that he feels the same way.

Vocabulary:
• Jhalli (झल्ली) – silly ↩︎

I never play with your heart
I always keep you with me
I’d rather die than be somewhere where I can’t be with you
I never lie to you
If anything I say ever hurts you
I won’t say it at all
I look at you, only at you
I won’t look anywhere else ↩︎

These long, long journeys
And in those journeys, there is you
I only wish that you become my shadow
Stay close to me, holding my hand
Don’t ever forget me
I’ll never forget you

There’s no clear resolution to the song but if you were to wager a guess from the video, the couple resolve their lover’s quarrel amicably. They both profess how much they mean to each other, and look forward to spending all of life’s journeys together. ↩︎
