English Translation
|
| Aao bachon aaj tumhe ek kahani sunata hoon main |
Come kids, today I'll tell you guys a story |
| Sher ki kahani sunoge |
Would you like to hear a tiger's story |
|
|
| Mere paas aao mere doston ek kissa suno |
My friends, come close to me and listen |
| Mere paas aao mere doston ek kissa suno |
My friends, come close to me and listen |
| Kayi saal pehle ki yeh baat hai |
It's a story about many years ago |
| Bolo na, chup kyun ho gaye |
Go on, why did you go silent |
| Bhayanak andheri si raat mein |
It was a dark and scary night |
| Liye apni bandook main haath mein |
I had a gun in my hand |
| Ghane jangalon se guzarta hua kahin ja raha tha |
I was passing through a dense jungle and going somewhere |
| Ghane jangalon se guzarta hua kahin ja raha tha |
I was passing through a dense jungle and going somewhere |
| Ja raha tha |
Was I going |
| Nahi aa raha tha |
Or was I returning |
| Nahi ja raha tha |
Or was I going |
| Uff o, aage bhi toh bolo na |
Oh my, move forward |
| Batata hoon, batata hoon |
I'll continue, I'll continue |
|
|
| Nahi bhoolti uff woh jungle ki raat |
I can't forget that night in the jungle |
| Mujhe yaad hai woh thi mangal ki raat |
I still remember it was a Tuesday night |
| Chala ja raha tha main darta hua |
I was walking being scared |
| Hanuman chalisa padhta hua |
I was reading the religious poem of Lord Hanuman |
| Bolo Hanuman ki jai |
Hail Lord Hanuman |
| Jai jai Bajrangbali ki jai |
Hail Lord Hanuman |
| Haan bolo Hanuman ki jai |
Hail Lord Hanuman |
| Jai ho Bajrangbali ki jai |
Hail Lord Hanuman |
|
|
| Ghadi thi andhera magar sakt tha |
I had a watch, but it was very dark |
| Koi das savah das ka bas waqt tha |
I might have been close to 10:00pm or 10:15pm |
| Larazta tha koyal ki bhi kook se |
I was scared even from the sound of a cuckoo bird |
| Bura haal hua uspe bhookh se |
On top of that I was hungry |
| Laga todne ek beri se ber |
I started to break some berries from a tree |
| Mere saamne aa gaya ek sher |
And suddenly a tiger came in front of me |
| Koi phirki banke nazar phir gayi |
My eyes started to roll off |
| Toh bandook bhi haath se gir gayi |
And the gun also slipped from my hand |
| Main lapka, woh jhapka |
I jumped and even he jumped |
| Main upar, woh neeche |
I was on top and he was below me |
| Woh aage, main peeche |
He was ahead and I was behind him |
| Main ped pe, woh peeche |
I climbed the tree and even he did that |
| Arre bachao, arre bachao |
Save me, save me |
| Main daal daal, woh paat paat |
I was on the branches and he was on the leaves |
| Main paseena, woh baag baag |
I was sweating and he was running |
| Main sur mein, woh taal mein |
I was losing and he was winning |
| Yeh jungle pataal mein |
The jungle was like hell |
| Bachao, bachao |
Save me, save me |
| Arre bhaago re bhaago, arre bhaago |
Run away, run away |
|
|
| Phir kya hua |
Then what happened |
| Khuda ki kasam maza aa gaya |
I swear on God, he had great fun |
| Mujhe maar kar besharam kha gaya |
He killed me and then he ate me |
| Kha gaya, lekin aap toh zinda hai |
He ate you, but you're still alive |
| Arre yeh jeena bhi koi jeena hai lallu |
Hey naive one, this kind of life is not living at all |
|
