English Translation
|
| Athra baras ki kanwari kali thi |
There was a 18 year old unmarried girl |
| Ghoonghat mein mukhda chupake chali thi |
She was walking hiding her face behind a veil |
| Athra baras ki kanwari kali thi |
There was a 18 year old unmarried girl |
| Ghoonghat mein mukhda chupake chali thi |
She was walking hiding her face behind a veil |
| Phasi gori |
The fair girl got trapped |
| Phasi gori channe ke khet mein |
The fair girl got trapped in the chickpea field |
| Hui chori channe ke khet mein |
There was a theft in the chickpea field |
|
|
| Pehle toh zulmi ne pakdi kalai |
First the cruel one held my wrist |
| Phir usne chupke se ungli dabai |
Then slowly he pressed my finger |
| Pehle toh zulmi ne pakdi kalai |
First the cruel one held my wrist |
| Phir usne chupke se ungli dabai |
Then slowly he pressed my finger |
| Jora jori |
There was aggression |
| Jora jori channe ke khet mein |
There was aggression in the chickpea field |
| Hui chori channe ke khet mein |
There was a theft in the chickpea field |
|
|
| Mere aage peeche shikaariyon ke ghere |
There are hunters all around me |
| Baithe wahan saare jawaani ke lootere |
All the robbers of youth are sitting there |
| Haan mere aage peeche shikaariyon ke ghere |
There are hunters all around me |
| Baithe wahan saare jawaani ke lootere |
All the robbers of youth are sitting there |
| Haari main haari pukaar ke |
I shouted that I lost |
| Yahan wahan dekhe nihaar ke |
They looked here and there from all angles |
| Yahan wahan dekhe nihaar ke |
They looked here and there from all angles |
|
|
| Joban pe chunri gira ke chali thi |
I was walking hiding my youth with a scarf |
| Haan joban pe chunri gira ke chali thi |
I was walking hiding my youth with a scarf |
| Haathon mein kangna saja ke chali thi |
I was walking adorning a bangle on my hand |
| Choodi tooti |
The bangle broke |
| Choodi tooti channe ke khet mein |
The bangle broke in the chickpea field |
| Jora jori channe ke khet mein |
There was aggression in the chickpea field |
|
|
| Tauba meri tauba, nigahein na milaon |
Oh my, how can I look into people's eyes |
| Aise kaise sabko kahani main bataon |
How can I tell the story to everyone |
| Tauba meri tauba, nigahein na milaon |
Oh my, how can I look into people's eyes |
| Aise kaise sabko kahani main bataon |
How can I tell the story to everyone |
| Kya kya hua mere saath re |
What all happened with me |
| Koi bhi toh aaya na haath re |
No one came to help me |
| Koi bhi toh aaya na haath re |
No one came to help me |
|
|
| Lehenge mein gota jada ke chali thi |
I was walking tying a knot in my skirt |
| Lehenge mein gota jada ke chali thi |
I was walking tying a knot in my skirt |
| Baalon mein gajra laga ke chali thi |
I was walking with a flower garland in my hair |
| Baali chhooti |
My earring got left behind |
| Baali chhooti channe ke khet mein |
My earring got left behind in the chickpea field |
| Jora jori channe ke khet mein |
There was aggression in the chickpea field |
|
|
| Athra baras ki kanwari kali thi |
There was a 18 year old unmarried girl |
| Ghoonghat mein mukhda chupake chali thi |
She was walking hiding her face behind a veil |
| Phasi gori |
The fair girl got trapped |
| Phasi gori channe ke khet mein |
The fair girl got trapped in the chickpea field |
| Re hui chori channe ke khet mein |
There was a theft in the chickpea field |
|
|
| Pehle toh zulmi ne pakdi kalai |
First the cruel one held my wrist |
| Phir usne chupke se ungli dabai |
Then slowly he pressed my finger |
| Jora jori |
There was aggression |
| Jora jori channe ke khet mein |
There was aggression in the chickpea field |
| Re hui chori channe ke khet mein |
There was a theft in the chickpea field |
