English Translation
|
| Chakri si pairon mein |
Like wheels on the legs |
| Pahiya pahiya aaiya ... o ho |
Spinning and spinning ... o ho |
| Aasmaan sarpat ghuma ... o ho |
The sky started to spin around ... o ho |
| Hai suna yeh humne toh ... o ho |
I heard that ... o ho |
| Rani ghume ghume gore gore pairon se |
The queen roams around on her fair feet |
| Chik chik chik chik tara |
Making a swooshing sound |
| Rani phir nau do gyarah |
The queen disappeared once again |
| Jaati toh giske aati |
If she left then she would come back |
| Ik din mein joote barah |
With twelve worn shoes in one day |
| Raja ka chadh gaya paara |
The king got angry |
| Khabri ko paas pukara |
He called his spy |
| Yeh kya hai maajra dekho |
And asked him to find out about |
| Jaati kahan hai woh |
Where does the queen go |
| Khabri ne peecha kiya |
The spy followed her |
| Rani ko ghar se raaton ko |
He saw the queen in the night |
| Dozakh mein jaate dekha |
Was going towards hell |
|
|
| Hawa hawa ... hawa hawa |
Like the wind ... like the wind |
| Hawa hawa ... hawa hawa |
Like the wind ... like the wind |
|
|
| Shole behke ... o ho |
Embers erupt ... o ho |
| Rani behke ... o ho |
The queen moved ... o ho |
| Naach rangeele ... o ho |
Danced gracefully ... o ho |
| Sab zehreele ... o ho |
Everyone was poisoned ... o ho |
| Khabri chakraya ... o ho |
The spy was shocked ... o ho |
| Ulte paanv ... o ho |
He ran backwards ... o ho |
| Ruk gaya toh batlaya usne |
He then stopped and said |
|
|
| Hawa hawa |
Like the wind |
| Rani hawa |
The queen flew |
| Hawa hawa hawa |
Like the wind |
| Naachi re magan |
She danced madly |
| Dhol wala sipahiya ... o ho |
On the beats of the drum ... o ho |
| Joh naache dhaayn dhaayn |
She kept on dancing |
| Ruke na phir paanv paanv paanv |
Her legs would not stop |
| Hawa hawa |
Like the wind |
| Thi na haya |
She was not shy |
| Hawa hawa |
Like the wind |
| Ruke na phir paanv paanv paanv |
Her legs would not stop |
| Raja jhallaya |
The king got angry |
| Door rozana |
From far away everyday |
| Barah jooton ko ghise rani |
The queen would wore twelve shoes |
| Qissa hai yeh aaisa |
The story is like this |
|
|
| Hawa hawa ... hawa hawa |
Like the wind ... like the wind |
| Paanv ruke na kisi ke roke |
No one can stop her feet |
| Yeh toh chalenge, nach lenge |
They will move and dance |
| Yahan wahan yaara masti mein |
Here and there in mischief |
|
|
| Chidhkar gusse mein bola raja |
Being upset the king said |
| O rani, kyun phatki meri pochi |
O queen, why did you do this |
| O naak katayi, vaat lagayi |
You dishonoured me and made a mess |
| Tune talwahi meri izzat ki bhajjiyan |
You made me lose my respect |
| Aaj se tera band bahar hai jaana |
From today you can't go out |
| Yeh sunkar rani muskayi |
Listening to this the queen smiled |
| Boli woh raagan |
She sang those tunes and said |
| Sone ki deewarein |
The walls of gold |
| Mujhe khushi na yeh de paayein |
Cannot give me happiness |
| Aye azaadi dede mujhe |
Give me my freedom |
| Mere khuda lele tu daulat aur kar de riha |
My God, take my wealth and free me |
|
|
| Hawa hawa ... hawa hawa ... hawa hawa |
Like the wind ... like the wind |
|
|
| Gad mathalke, roz khulke |
Dancing everyday and openly |
| Joh na kiya tha |
What she had not done before |
| Kiya gande mande bandon mein |
She did that in front of bad people |
| Thi malang woh |
She was careless |
| Apne rang ghoome phire jhoome naache |
She roamed and danced on her own |
| Woh gore se paanv paanv paanv |
On her fair feet |
| Pa pa paanv paanv paanv |
On her feet |
| Pa pa paanv paanv paanv |
On her feet |
| Pa pa paa paanv paanv paanv |
On her feet |
|
|
| Hawa hawa |
Like the wind |
| O rani hawa |
The queen flew |
| Paanv ruke na kisi ke roke toke ok |
No one can stop her feet |
| Yeh toh chalenge, nach lenge |
They will move and dance |
| Yahan wahan jahan tahan kahan kahan |
Here, there and everywhere |
| Chik chik chik chik tara |
Making a swooshing sound |
| Chik chik chik chik tara |
Making a swooshing sound |
|
|
