What grammatical function is や performing here?

それで何だっけ?

昨日の夜の話

全然覚えてない

「電話が鳴って君からだってわかったら

急に変な気分になったんだ。」




This is an excerpt of lyrics from Indigo la End's song 彼女の相談. I can't figure out what function the や in line 3 performs.



Does anyone have any input?

          や at the end of a sentence has various meanings, but it's roughly categorized into two.




          1. Kansai colloquial copula や (used in place of だ)

          2. True sentence-end particle や


          Perhaps you'll see Kansai-ben's や more often, and it's discussed in many existing questions here:




          • I don't understand what やな means at the end of a sentence...?

          • The meaning of んや


          But since や in your example comes right after ない, it's a sentence-end particle. (You cannot say ないだ, anyway.)




          1. [after an i-adjective] Exclamation ("Oh", "Wow", sounds childish)


            すごいや! Wow, it's great!

            ひどいや! You're so cruel!




          2. [after an imperative verb] Persuasion, urging ("Come on", "You", sounds masculine and rough)


            飲めや。 Drink it.

            死ねや! Die!




          3. [after an animate noun] Vocative ("Hey", "O", sounds old) See: What does や after someone's name mean exactly?


            シンデレラや、舞踏会に行きたいのかい? Cinderella, do you want to go to the ball?




          4. [usually after いい or ない] Indifference, giving up, reluctant acceptance ("Oh well", "Meh") See: Meaning of や in 「もうどうだっていいや」


            それでいいや。 Well, that's okay (if not ideal).

            どうでもいいや。 Whatever. / Let it go. / I don't care.

            もう知らないや。 I don't care about it anymore.

            うーん、わかんないや。 Hmm, I don't know. / I give up.





          In your case, や is used in the fourth sense. This や expresses the speaker is not particularly serious about 覚えていない(こと). In the lyrics, the woman is serious, but the guy doesn't even remember what they talked about yesterday.
