Why did you not come, why did you not love me yesterday? "..
- Monish Chatterjee
The song possesses a charmingly folksy, almost childlike earnestness where a paramour petulantly expresses to his beloved his distress that she failed to keep her rendezvous the previous day. The doleful lyrics draw upon a variety of metaphors from nature to communicate his forlorn state of mind.

I'd rather not listen to that flute- that flute's a highway robber
It robs in broad daylight, not to mention the night- it's a highway robber.
(It) pours venom in my ears, (it) burns up my very spirit.
I will put an end to its machinations, (will) consecrate to the flames.
That miserable thief robs in broad daylight,
not to mention the night- it's a highway robber. "..
