Sanwaar Loon is one of the best songs of Lootera. However, the song has been sung AND spelled as Sawaar loon, which really doesn't mean what it should and hence is irritating in a way. However, the song is beautiful other than this issue, and Amit Trivedi's music as well as Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics are wonderful. Here is a translation for the song. For more detail on the difference of Sanwaar Loon and Sawaar Loon, check THIS POST.
hawaa ke jhonke aaj mausamon se rooth gaye
gulon ki shokhiyaan jo bhanwre aa ke loot gaye
badal rahi hai aaj Zindagi ki chaal Zaraa
isee bahaane main bhi kyoon naa dil ka haal Zaraa
sanwaar loon haye sanwaar loon
Gusts of wind got upset with the weather today..
As the bumblebees looted the brilliance of flowers
today the way of life has changed little bit
Taking that as an excuse, why I too not make my heart feel better,
Why shouldn't I too pamper my heart..
baraamade puraane hain, nayi si dhoop hai
Jo palkein khatkhata raha hai kis kaa roop hai
sharaaratein kare jo aise
bhool ke hizaab
kaise us ko naam se main pukaar loon
The verandas are old, but the sunshine I see is new..
Whose beauty is that is knocking at my eyelids..
The one, who makes mischieves,
forgetting the veils,
How do I call him by name?
Ye saaree koyalein baneeN hain aaj daakiyaa
Kuhu-kuhu mein chitthiyaan padhein mazaakiyaa
Inhe kaho ki naa chhupaayen
Kis ne hai likhaa bataayein,
Us ki aaj main nazar utaar loon
Sanwaar loon haye sanwaar loon
Sanwaar loon, sanwaar loon..
All these cuckoos have become postmen,
In their cuckooing, they read the letters in jokes..
Tell them not to hide,
and tell me clearly who has written [the letter]
I'll remove the effect of evil eye for him..
I'll adorn myself, and my heart..
