Dil Tujhko Diya

As requested by Z, one more from the same film, the title song.

Film: Dil Tujhko Diya
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Rajesh Roshan
MD: Rajesh Roshan


Ruk Jaa Zara, Ae Saathiya,
stop awhile, companion
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
my heart beats, I give my heart to you
(jiya can mean life, soul, here the phrase dhadake jiya describes heart palpitation or sudden increase in heart beat, so here it means heart)
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Ruk Jaa Zara, Ae Saathiya,
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya


Rahon Mein Teri Sajda Karoongi
on the paths that you travel on, I will bow my head in reverence
Rahon Mein Teri Sajda Karoongi
O Re Piya Tujhe Jaane Na Doongi
O my darling, I will not let you go
O Re Piya Tujhe Jaane Na Doongi
Ruk Jaa Zara, Ae Saathiya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya


Janamo Se Main Hoon Saajan Tihari
I have been yours, love, for many lifetimes
Janamo Se Main Hoon Saajan Tihari
Main Albeli, Natkhat Kunwari
I am a foolish, mischievous maiden
Main Albeli, Natkhat Kunwari
Ruk Jaa Zara, Ae Saathiya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya


Jeevan Ke Path Mein Sang Sang Chalenge
we will travel together on the road of life
Jeevan Ke Path Mein Sang Sang Chalenge
Raahein Khatin Ho, Hum Na Darrenge
if the paths are difficult, we will not be afraid
Raahein Khatin Ho, Hum Na Darrenge
Ruk Jaa Zara, Ae Saathiya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Ruk Jaa Zara, Ae Saathiya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya
Dhadake Jiya, Dil Tujhko Diya

Wada Na Tod

As requested by Z, another favorite of mine from my younger days, another one I could do from memory..... Bally Sagoo's remake of the song introduced it to another generation. More recently, the original appeared on the soundtrack of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.

Film: Dil Tujhko Diya
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Rajesh Roshan
MD: Rajesh Roshan

Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
(you) do not break the promise
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Meri Chadhti Jawani Tadpe
my peaking youth writhes
(such a short sentence, so difficult to translate so that it makes sense in english, literally chadhti means rising, the phrase chadhti jawani can be used to describe the onset of puberty and early adulthood, so the sentence conveys the eagerness of youth)
Tu Munh Na Mor
(you) do not turn your face away
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Meri Chadhti Jawani Tadpe
Tu Munh Na Mor
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod

Neend Hamari Piya Tu Ne Churai
you have stolen my sleep, darling
Kahan Chupa Hai Piya? Tu Hai Harjaee
where are you hiding? you are unfaithful
Neend Hamari Piya Tu Ne Churai
Kahan Chupa Hai Piya? Tu Hai Harjaee
Meri Chadhti Jawani Tadpe
Tu Munh No Mor
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod

Koi Nahin Hai Tere Mere Bin Yahan Pe
there is no one else here but you and me
Chal Baithe Chhaon Thele Dekh Wahan Pe
come let us go and sit in the shade over there, see?
Koi Nahin Hai Tere Mere Bin Yahan Pe
Chal Baithe Chhaon Thele Dekh Wahan Pe
Meri Chadhti Jawani Tadpe
Tu Munh No Mor
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod

Waada Nibhana Hoga Saajan Tujh Ko
you will have to uphold your promise, love
Doli Mein Bitha Ke Apne Ghar Le Ja Mujhko
seat me in a wedding palanquin and take me to your home
Waada Nibhana Hoga Saajan Tujh Ko
Doli Mein Bitha Ke Apne Ghar Le Ja Mujhko
Meri Chadhti Jawani Tadpe
Tu Munh No Mor
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Meri Chadhti Jawani Tadpe
Tu Munh No Mor
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod
Tu Waada Na Tod, Tu Waada Na Tod

Jaisa Des Vaisa Bhes

As requested by Z. Another Hindi Lata/Kishore duet with a lighter, Punjabi flavor.

Film: Des Pardes
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar
Lyrics: Amit Khanna
MD: Rajesh Roshan

Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna?
When in a foreign country, wear the native garb/clothes, so why be afraid?
Arre Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna?
Arre Chhodo Rani, Chhodo Yun Hi Aahen Bharna
O leave it, princess, stop sighing so..
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Hai Kudiye? Jaldi Karna....
What are you embarassed for girl, hurry up!
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na
I won't do it, I won't become like that.
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na

Ahhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhhh
Kaisi Yeh Nagariya, Kaise Hai Yeh Log?
What is this town? How are these people?
Kaise Hai Yeh Log?
Haye, Sab Ko Laaga, Prabho, Besharmi Ka Rog
O Prabho, everyone seems to be afflicted with immodesty.
Ab Tu Hi Bataa, Bhagwan, Main Bhi Kya Karun?
Now you tell me, God, what shall I do?
Main Bhi Kya Karun?
Main Tau Kuch Bhi Karne Se Na Jaane Kyun Darrun
I don't know why I am afraid to do anything.
Ghoonghta Kolun Na Kolun Na Kolun Kolun Re
I won't open my veil.
Arre Chhod De Nakhra Ab Tau Goriye
O drop this pretence now, fair one.
Arre Aaya Hai Mauka, Le Ab Tu Ban Sanwarna
You have a chance, now adorn yourself.
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Hai Kudiye? Jaldi Karna...
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na

Man Ko Dhak Le Gori, Tan Ka Dhakna Hai Beqaar
Cover your heart, fair one, covering your body is useless.
Dhakna Hai Beqaar
Phool Na Mehake Jab Tak, Uska Khilna Hai Beqaar
Until a flower gives off fragrance, it's blooming is useless.
Arre Aksar Aaisa Hota Hai Pehli Pehli Baar
This happens often the very first time (alludes to her shyness)
Pehli Pehli Baar
Aa Mujhse Tu Le Le Himmat Thodi Si Udhaar
Come, borrow a bit of bravery from me.
Jhoot Bolun Na Bolun Na Bolun Bolun Re
I won't lie.
Arre Ghir Na Jaun, Main Tau Kamsin Re, Ouch!
O let me not fall, I'm young..
Arre Haathon Mein Mere Tu Apna Haath Dharrna
Place your hand between my hands,
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Ve Mundeya, Jaldi Karna...
What are you embarassed for boy, hurry up!
Arre Wah Bhai Wah, Huyi Gal Na
Wow, nice, that's it now.
Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna
Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Ve Mundeya, Jaldi Karna...

Koi Apna Na Hua

Apologies Z, holidays had kept me very busy, back on track for a little while now, will try to post your requests more often.

Film: Gul-e-Bakavali
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar
Lyrics: Indivar
MD: Rajesh Roshan

Koi Apna Na Hua Saari Zindagi Ke Liye
no one became my partner for life
Bahut Hai Pyar Jo Mil Jaaye Do Khadi Ke Liye
it would be a lot (enough) love even if I received it only for a little while (two moments)
Koi Apna Na Hua Saari Zindagi Ke Liye
Bahut Hai Pyar Jo Mil Jaaye Do Khadi Ke Liye
Hum Tau Aaye Hai Eis Jahan Mein Aap Hi Ke Liye
I've come into this world for you only
Dil Tau Dil, Jaan Bhi De Denge Dosti Ke Liye
it's given that I would give my heart, but I would also give my life for this friendship

Wafa Ke Naam Pe Dhoke Hi Diye Jaate Hai
people con each other using the name of love
Todne Hi Ke Liye Vaade Kiye Jaate Hai
promises are made only to be broken
Log Duniya Mein Sab Hi Bewafa Nahin Hote
not all people in this world are unfaithful
Log Duniya Mein Sab Hi Bewafa Nahin Hote
Jalte Veeranon Mein Bhi Phool Kya Nahin Hote
are not there flowers even in the burning wastelands?
Bewafa Kehna Munasib Nahin Sab Hi Ke Liye
it is not appropriate to call everyone unfaithful
Dil Tau Dil, Jaan Bhi De Denge Dosti Ke Liye

Zindagi Kab Se Khadi Meri Teri Raahon Pe
my life has stood in your way/path for a very long time
Gila Rahe Na Koi, Bhar Le Mujh Ko Bahon Mein
let there be no regrets, take me into your arms
Dil Nahin Bharte Kabhi Aaisi Vaisi Baaton Se
hearts are never satisfied by such conversations
Dil Nahin Bharte Kabhi Aaisi Vaisi Baaton Se
Ghum Judai Ke Nahin Mit Thay Mulaqaaton Se
the pain of separation is not erased by our encounters/meetings
Hazaaron Ranj Sahe Hum Ne Ek Khushi Ke Liye
I've suffered a thousand sorrows for one moment of happiness
Bahut Hai Pyar, Jo Mil Jaaye Do Khadi Ke Liye
Aaahh Aahhh
Haasil-e-Zindagi Kya Hai Teri Chahat Ke Siva?
what else is the purpose of life but your love
Kuch Nahin Deed Ke Kabil Teri Surat Ke Siva
there is nothing worthy of sight except for your countenance/face
Nigahen Apni Jhuki Teri Bandagi Ke Liye
my eyes bow for your adoration
Nigahen Apni Jhuki Teri Bandagi Ke Liye
Dil Tau Dil, Jaan Bhi De Denge Dosti Ke Liye
Koi Apna Na Hua Saari Zindagi Ke Liye
Bahut Hai Pyar, Jo Mil Jaaye Do Khadi Ke Liye

Sajna Sun Sun

As requested by Z. I've bought this CBS label compilation CD (my favorite label, lol) three times just for this song.

Film: Rishta Kagaz Ka
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Majrooh
MD: Rajesh Roshan

Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun Chun
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun Chun
Darling, listen to the jingling of my keys.
Teri Nazaron Ki Pyasi, Kabhi Thi Main Teri Daasi
The one that longed for your look, at one time I was your servant,
Ab Hun Main Teri Maalik, Sun
but now I'm your master, listen.
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun Chun
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun Chun
Teri Nazaron Ki Pyasi, Kabhi Thi Main Teri Daasi
Ab Hun Main Teri Maalik, Sun

Abhi Talak Tau Sahib Ban Kar Hukum Chalaya Saiyan Ji
Until now, becoming master, you've bossed me around.
Udhar Uthaya, Idhar Bithaya, Pakkar Ke Meri Baiyan Ji
You picked me up from there, sat me down here, grabbing my arm.
Abhi Talak Tau Sahib Ban Kar Hukum Chalaya Saiyan Ji
Udhar Uthaya, Idhar Bithaya, Pakkar Ke Meri Baiyan Ji
Gaya Din Woh Tumhara, Ab Hukum Humara, Eis Ghar Pe Chalega, Sun
Those days of yours are over; now my rule will be the law in this house, listen.
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun Chun
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun
Teri Nazaron Ki Pyasi, Kabhi Thi Main Teri Daasi
Ab Hun Main Teri Maalik, Sun

Aaisa Main Gin Gin Loongi Badla, Saara Hisaab Chuka Doongi
I'll take my revenge, accounting for every injustice.
Mehndi Lagi Eis Ungli Pe Le Ke Tum Ko Naach Nacha Doongi
This henna colored finger will make you dance.
Aaisa Main Gin Gin Loongi Badla, Saara Hisaab Chuka Doongi
Mehndi Lagi Eis Ungli Pe Le Ke Tum Ko Naach Nacha Doongi
Koi Kaabu Na Chalega, Gali Gali Mein Machega Shor Yahan Se Wahan Tak, Sun
You won't be able to control yourself, there will be such a commotion in the streets, heard from here to there.
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun Chun
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun
Teri Nazaron Ki Pyasi, Kabhi Thi Main Teri Daasi
Ab Hun Main Teri Maalik, Sun

Samajh Ke Nazuk Ek Aurat Pe Abhi Tau Haath Uthaogay
You'll think I'm a weak woman and raise your hand now.
Chhadi Na Maaro, Gussa Uttaro, Nahin Tau Phir, Pachtaungay
Don't hit me, cool down, otherwise you will regret it.
Samajh Ke Nazuk Ek Aurat Pe Abhi Tau Haath Uthaogay
Chhadi Na Maaro, Gussa Uttaro, Nahin Tau Phir, Pachtaungay
Babul Ki Nagar Chali Jaoungi Agar, Nahin Aaungi Palat Ke, Sun
If I leave for my father's town, I won't return, listen.
Sajna, ... ... Meri Chabhi Ki ... ....
Sajna, Sun Sun, Meri Chabhi Ki Chun
Teri Nazaron Ki Pyasi, Kabhi Thi Main Teri Daasi
Ab Hun Main Teri Maalik, Sun
