called him a traitor once."

"The paths sway
and tell us to move on"
and meet the flowers"
"But we are zany"
"Whether it's the path,
or destination"
"Whether the sea or shore"
"We are unaware, of everything,
and uncaring"
"We go where the heart takes us"
"We are here today"
"Who knows where we will be tomorrow"
"The sights, the streams, ask us..."
"what we desire"
"Blooms, buds, stars, ask us..."
"who we want to meet"
"We are zany!"
"But we say we want to
stay just this way"
"We want to flow in
the stream of joy always"
"We go where the heart takes us"
"We are here today"
"Who knows where we will be tomorrow"
"Charming eyes,
velvety arms bind us"
"As the moonlight spread,
dreams rolled out"
"We even left behind those dreams"
"We are zany!"
"Our heart is a vagabond,
it roams free like a gypsy"
"It may be a vagabond,
but we love it"
"We go where the heart takes us"
"We are here today"
"Who knows where we will be tomorrow"
"It's getting dark.
Shall we move on, or set camp here?"
"You stay here, I am moving on."
What a rude girl!
Not once...
Listen.
Why don't you stay back?
"I mean, I bored talking to him."
My name is Dev... Dev Anand.
What is your name?
I am a teacher in a school
in the village ahead.
I know all the ways.
Take care.
Look...
"You are brave,
but night is after all night."
It makes one make mistakes.
You must not challenge the night.
"I am not trying to act brave,
So what difference does it make?
It's a small mistake.
"They are school children after all,
they'll forgive you."
Stay... this night will look after you.
We will put up our tent over there.
Now you will want a copy of this.
"Do one thing, give me your address."
I will send it to your home.
I don't like pictures.
"Pictures bring back memories,
and memories make you sad."
Whether they are good or bad?
Yes.
Hey... a team is formed here.
I like pictures. I'll have it
enlarged and put it near my bed.
I will look at you two... and... cry.
