English Translation
|
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
| Yeh patloon englistani |
These pants are British |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
|
|
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
| Yeh patloon englistani |
These pants are British |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
|
|
| Nikal pade hai khuli sadak par |
I've started on an open road |
| Apna seena taane |
Boldly and confidently |
| Apna seena taane |
Boldly and confidently |
| Manzil kahan, kahan rukna hai |
Where is my destination and where is my stop |
| Upar waala jaane |
God only knows that |
| Upar waala jaane |
God only knows that |
| Badhte jaaye hum sailani |
I'll move forward relentlessly |
| Jaise ek dariya toofani |
Like a stormy sea |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
|
|
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
| Yeh patloon englistani |
These pants are British |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
|
|
| Upar neeche neeche upar |
Up and down, down and up |
| Lehar chale jeevan ki |
Life moves like that |
| Lehar chale jeevan ki |
Life moves like that |
| Nadaan hai joh baith kinare |
The one who sits on the shore is naive |
| Pooche raah watan ki |
Asking for directions to his country |
| Pooche raah watan ki |
Asking for directions to his country |
| Chalna jeevan ki kahani |
Walking is the story of life |
| Rukna maut ki nishani |
Stopping is a sign of death |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
|
|
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
| Yeh patloon englistani |
These pants are British |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
|
|
| Honge raaj-e-raajkunvar |
I might be a prince of some kingdom |
| Hum bighde dil shehzaade |
But I'm a little naughty |
| Bighde dil shehzaade |
But I'm a little naughty |
| Hum singhasan par ja baithe |
I go and sit on the throne |
| Jab jab kare iraade |
Whenever I wish to |
| Jab jab kare iraade |
Whenever I wish to |
| Surat hai jaani pehchani |
My face is familiar |
| Duniya waalon ko hairani |
It'll be a surprise to the world |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
|
|
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
| Yeh patloon englistani |
These pants are British |
| Sar pe laal topi rusi |
I have a red Russian hat on my head |
| Phir bhi dil hai hindustani |
But still my heart is Indian |
| Mera joota hai japani |
My shoes are Japanese |
