English Translation
|
| Ho ... koyal kooke hook uthaye |
Ho ... a cry arises from a cuckoo bird |
| Yaadon ki bandook chalaye |
It fires the gun of memories |
| Koyal kooke hook uthaye |
A cry arises from a cuckoo bird |
| Yaadon ki bandook chalaye |
It fires the gun of memories |
| Baaghon mein jhuloon ke mausam vapas aaye re |
In the orchards the season of swings has returned |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Oh ... baaghon mein jhuloon ke mausam vapas aaye re |
Oh ... in the orchards the season of swings has returned |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
|
|
| Is gaon ki anpadh mitti |
The illiterate dust of this village |
| Padh nahin sakti teri chitthi |
Is not able to read your letter |
| Yeh mitti tu aakar choome |
When you'll come and kiss this dust |
| Toh is dharti ka dil jhoome |
The heart of the earth will rejoice |
| Maana tere hain kuch sapne |
We know that you have your dreams |
| Par hum toh hain tere apne |
But we are your dear ones |
| Bhoolne waale humko teri yaad sataye re |
Hey forgetful one, we are tormented by your absence |
|
|
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
|
|
| Panghat pe aayi mutiyare |
Women come to the river bank |
| Chham chham payal ki jhankare |
With ringing and jingling of the anklets |
| Kheton mein lehrai sarson |
The fields will flow with mustard plants |
| Kal parson mein beete barson |
In tomorrow and after ages have passed |
| Aaj hi aaja gaata hasta |
Come back today singing and smiling |
| Tera rasta dekhe rasta |
The path is waiting for you |
| Arre chuk-chuk gaadi ki seeti awaaz lagaye re |
Hey even the train's whistle is calling out for you |
|
|
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
|
|
| Haathon mein puja ki thali |
Holding the worship plates in the hand |
| Aayi raat suhagon waali |
The night for wives has come |
| Oh ... chaand ko dekhoon |
Oh ... I'll look at the moon |
| Haath mein jodhoon |
I'll pray with my hands |
| Karva Chauth ka vrat main todhoon |
I'll break the fast of Karva Chauth |
| Tere haath se peekar paani |
After drinking water from your hands |
| Daasi se ban jaon rani |
I'll turn from a servant into a queen |
| Aaj ki raat joh maange koi woh pa jaaye re |
Tonight whatever anyone asks for, shall be obtained |
|
|
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
|
|
| Oh ... mann mitra |
Oh ... pure spirit |
| Oh ... mann meeta |
Oh ... lover of mine |
| De ... tenu rab de hawaale keeta |
Hey ... may God keep you in his care |
|
|
| Duniya ke dastoor hain kaise |
What are the world's customs like |
| Pagal dil majboor hain kaise |
Why are these crazy hearts compelled |
| Ab kya sunana, ab kya kehna |
What to hear, what to say |
| Tere mere beech yeh raina |
These things must remain between us |
| Khatam hui yeh aankh micholi |
This game of hide and seek is over |
| Kal jayegi meri doli |
Tomorrow my palanquin will leave |
| Meri doli meri arthi na ban jaaye re |
Don't let me palanquin become my pyre |
|
|
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Ghar aaja pardesi tera des bulaye re |
Come home foreigner to your country |
| Koyal kooke hook uthaye |
A cry arises from a cuckoo bird |
| Yaadon ki bandook chalaye |
It fires the gun of memories |
| Baaghon mein jhuloon ke mausam vapas aaye re |
In the orchards the season of swings has returned |
|
|
| Oh ... mahi ve |
Oh ... lover |
| Oh ... chan ve |
Oh ... soulmate |
| Be jindava o sajna |
My partner in love |
|
