English Translation
|
| Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara |
These lanes, these junctions |
| Yahan aana na doobara |
Don't come here again |
| Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara |
These lanes, these junctions |
| Yahan aana na doobara |
Don't come here again |
| Ab hum toh bhaye pardesi |
Now I've become a foreigner |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Leja rang birangi yaadein |
Take away those colourful memories |
| Hasne rone ki buniyaadein |
Those moments of laughter and tears |
| Ab hum toh bhaye pardesi |
Now I've become a foreigner |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
|
|
| Mere haathon mein bhari bhari chhudiyan |
There are so many bangles in my hand |
| Mujhe bha gayi hari hari chhudiyan |
I'm in love with the green bangles |
| Dekh milti hai teri meri chhudiyan |
Look, our bangles match |
| Tere jaisi saheli meri chhudiyan |
My bangles are my friend just like you |
| Tune peese woh mehndi rang layi |
The henna that you crushed has brought its colour |
| Meri gori hatheli rachaai |
They have decorated my fair hands |
| Teri aankh kyun laado bhar aayi |
Hey dear one, why are there tears in your eyes |
| Tere ghar bhi bajegi shehnaai |
The wedding bells will sound in your house as well |
| Sawan mein baadal se kehna |
In the monsoon month tell the clouds that |
| Pardes mein hai meri behna |
Your sister has gone to a foreign country |
| Ab hum toh bhaye pardesi |
Now I've become a foreigner |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
|
|
| Aa maaen mil le gale |
Hey mothers, come and embrace me |
| Chale hum sasural chale |
I'm going to my in-laws house |
| Tere aangan mein apna |
In your courtyard |
| Bas bachpan chhod chale |
I'm just leaving behind my childhood |
| Kal bhi suraj niklega |
The sun will come out tomorrow as well |
| Kal bhi panchi gayenge |
The birds will sing tomorrow as well |
| Sab tujhko dikhai denge |
You'll see everything the same |
| Par hum na nazar aayenge |
But you won't see me |
| Aanchal mein sanjo lena humko |
Imagine me in your arms |
| Sapno mein bula lena humko |
Call me in your dreams |
| Ab hum toh bhaye pardesi |
Now I've become a foreigner |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
|
|
| Dekh tu na humein bhulana |
Look, don't forget me |
| Mana door humein hai jaana |
I have to go very far |
| Meri alhad si athkheliyan |
Keep my foolish and naughty deeds |
| Sada palkon beech basana |
Always in your eyes |
| Jab bajne lage baaje gaaje |
When the drums sound |
| Jag lagne lage khali khali |
When your world feels lonely |
| Us dam tu itna samajhna |
At that moment try to understand that |
| Meri doli uthi hai phoolon wali |
My palanquin was decorated with flowers |
| Thode din ke yeh naate the |
These bonds were there only for a few days |
| Kabhi hanste the gaate the |
At times we smiled and sang |
| Ab hum toh bhaye pardesi |
Now I've become a foreigner |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
|
|
| Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara |
These lanes, these junctions |
| Yahan aana na doobara |
Don't come here again |
| Ab hum toh bhaye pardesi |
Now I've become a foreigner |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
| Ke tera yahan koi nahi |
There is no one here for you |
|
