English Translation
|
| Tu neel samundar hai |
You're the blue ocean |
| Tu neel samundar hai |
You're the blue ocean |
| Main reth ka saahil hoon |
I'm a sandy shore |
| Main reth ka saahil hoon |
I'm a sandy shore |
| Aaghosh mein le le |
Take me in your arms |
| Main der se pyaasi hoon |
I'm yearning since a long time |
|
|
| Ek sauda raat ka |
It's a trade for a single night |
| Ek kaudi chaand ki |
For a portion of the moon |
| Chahe toh choom le |
If you want to |
| Tu kaudi chaand ki |
You can kiss a portion of the moon |
| Ek sauda raat ka |
It's a trade for a single night |
| Ek kaudi chaand ki |
For a portion of the moon |
| Chahe toh choom le |
If you want to |
| Tu kaudi chaand ki |
You can kiss a portion of the moon |
| Ek chaand ki kashti mein |
In a boat of the moon |
| Chal paar utarna hai |
We have to get across |
| Tu halke halke khena |
You go slowly |
| Dariya naa chalke |
Making sure that the river doesn't splash |
| Mayya mayya |
Water water |
| Gulaabi taare chun le |
Select the rosy stars |
| Saare chun |
Select all of them |
| Maaya mayya |
Water water |
| Ki jism ke pardon mein |
From the curtains of the body |
| Dardon ke maare chun le |
Select all the pains |
| Mayya mayya |
Water water |
| Gulaabi taare chun le |
Select the rosy stars |
| Saare chun |
Select all of them |
| Maaya mayya |
Water water |
| Ki jism ke pardon mein |
From the curtains of the body |
| Dardon ke maare chun le |
Select all the pains |
|
|
| Jab neel samundar jaage |
When the blue ocean awakens |
| Aaghosh mein lekar saahil |
Embracing the shore |
| Lehrata hai aur masti mein |
It dances and with joy |
| Mehtaab ka chehra choomta hai |
It kisses the face of the moon |
|
|
| Main seene mein |
In my heart |
| Teri saansein bhar leti hoon |
I'll fill your breaths |
| Karwat karwat main tujh se lipatkar |
By hugging you and changing sides |
| Raat basarkar leti hoon |
I pass my nights |
| Mayya ... mayya ... mayya |
Water ... water ... water |
| Seene se mere uthta hai dhuaan |
A smoke is rising from my heart |
| Mayya ... mayya ... mayya |
Water ... water ... water |
| Deewar pe kya likhta hai dhuaan |
What is the smoke writing on the wall |
| Dheema ... dheema ... dheema dhuaan |
Slowly ... slowly ... slowly |
| Har baar yeh kya kehta hai dhuaan |
The smoke is saying this every time |
| Mai mai mayya ... hey hey hey |
Water water ... hey hey hey |
| Mai mai mayya ... hey hey hey |
Water water ... hey hey hey |
|
|
| Ek sauda raat ka |
It's a trade for a single night |
| Ek kaudi chaand ki |
For a portion of the moon |
| Chahe toh choom le |
If you want to |
| Tu kaudi chaand ki |
You can kiss a portion of the moon |
| Ek mehak ki kashti mein |
In a boat full of fragrance |
| Chal paar utarna hai |
We have to get across |
| Tu halke halke khena |
You go slowly |
| Dariya naa chalke |
Making sure that the river doesn't splash |
|
|
| Mayya mayya ... hey hey hey |
Water water ... hey hey hey |
| Mayya mayya ... hey hey hey |
Water water ... hey hey hey |
| Mayya mayya ... hey hey hey |
Water water ... hey hey hey |
| Mayya mayya ... hey hey hey |
Water water ... hey hey hey |
