Out of time man
I'm walking out for love
I'm walking bad, really down
like a cool breeze
I'm gonna be late again,
'Driver wait for me please!'
I'm running all in vain,
trying to catch this fucking train
"Time don't fool me no more"
I throw my watch to the floor,
was so lazy
Time don't do it again,
Now I'm stressed and strained
with my anger and pain
in the subway train
Now it's half past two - Long gone the rendez-vous
Now it's half past three - Time made a fool out of me
Now it's half past four - Baby can't you see
No use in waiting no more - It's a timing tragedy
I think it's nine
when the clock says ten
This girl wouldn't wait
for the out of time,
out of time man
-- "Out of time man", Mano Negra, King of Bongo (1991)

This song is so peppy. Or was it sth else that made me so happy?
"Peppy"?! You linguists...
बावरा = pronounced as baavraa
Literally means crazy. Not the clinical condition, but crazy like in love. A wanderer. Dreamer. Silly. Roughly that.
Like the out of time man, out yet hopeful :)
That comment couldn't have come at a better time. And just like that, a real timing tragedy is turned on its ear.
