bheegi bheegi hain chaahatein
bheeni bheeni hai raat
main rang ban ke pighli hoon tere saath
the love is a little wet,
and the night is soft-fragrant,
I have become color, and melted with you..

ranga re
o dil ranga re
tere rang ranga re
teri rooh mein main ghul gayi
It's colored,
the heart is colored,
it's colored in your color,
I am dissolved in your soul..

teri gehri saanson mein kho gaye ehsaas
main rang ban ke behti hoon tere haath
my feelings are lost in your deep breaths,
I flow from your hands, becoming color..

ranga re
o dil ranga re
tere rang ranga re
teri rooh mein main ghul gayi

tujhe naseebon se main chura loon
tujhe apni saanson mein main jagah doon
teri rag rag mein aaj beh ke
main mere fun ko jila doon, main jila doon
I wish to steal you from the fate
I'd give you place in my breaths,
I'd flow in every vein of yours
and make my * alive..

hoke teri zulfon se utre raat
rok loon ye lamha
ke tere honThon se chhoo ke aaj
chhoo loon aag
the night gets down from your hair,
I'd stop this moment..
I wish to touch your lips
and thus touch the fire

main rangaa re
o haan main rangaa re
tere rang rangaa re
tere jism mein main ghul gaya
I am colored,
colored,
colored in your color..
I am dissolved into your body..

Aise Kaise/ Pashmina Lyrics Translation | Fitoor

Song Lyric:  Aise Kaise/ Pashmina
Music : Amit Trivedi
Lyrics :  Swanand Kirkire
Singers : Amit Trivedi
Movie Titles/Music Album : Fitoor
Movies Ratings IMDB: 5.6/10
Music Label: Zee Music Company

pashmina dhaagon ke sang
koi aaj bune khwaab aise kaise
vaadi mein goonje kaheen
naye saaz ye rabaab aise kaise
pashmeena dhaagon ke sang
with the pashmina threads,
someone weaves dreams, how so..
in the valley, somewhere new instruments,
these rebabs, how so..
with pashmina threads..

kaliyon ne badle abhi ye mizaaj
ehsaas aise kaise
palkon ne khole abhi naye raaz
jazbaat aise kaise
flower-buds have changed their moods,
feelings, how so..
eyelids have opened new secrets,
emotions, how so..

pashmina dhaagon ke sang
koi aaj bune khwaab aise kaise

kachchi hawa, kachcha dhuaan ghul raha
kachcha sa dil lamhe naye chun raha
kachchi si dhoop, kachchi Dagar phisal rahi
koi khaDa chupke se keh raha
main saaya banoon, tere peechhe chaloon
chalta rahoon…
raw wind, raw smoke is dissolving,
the raw heart is plucking some new moments.
raw sunshine, raw path, is slipping.
and someone standing (nearby), says softly,
that I’d be your shadow, I’d walk with you,
I’d keep walking.

pashmina dhaagon ke sang
koi aaj bune khwaab aise kaise..

shabnam ke do qatre yoon hi Tehel rahe
shaakhon pe wo moti se khel rahe
befikr se ik dooje mein khul rahe
jab hon judaa, khayaalon mein mil rahe
khayaalon mein yoon ye guftagoo chalti rahe
two dewdrops walking just like that,
playing on the branches (of trees) like pearls.
opening into each other, carefree.
and meet each other in thoughts, when they get apart.
this way, the talk keeps on going in dreams.

waadi mein goonje kahin naye saaz
ye rabaab.. aise kaise
aise kaise.. aise kaise..
aise kaise.. aise kaise..

maine poochha ye dil se
main kyun hoon jahaan mein
ek dhaDkan boli tere liye..
I asked the heart,
why am I there in this world,
a heartbeat said, for you..

maine yaadein taraashin
aur khwaab bana deen
nayi duniya basa di tere liye..
I chiseled memories,
and made dreams out of them.
created a new world, for you.

tere liye.. tere liye..
tere liye.. tere liye..

jo main kehta hoon, jo sunta hoon
jo sehta hoon, tere liye..
main girta hoon, sambhalta hoon
phir chalta hoon, tere liye..
whatever I say, I hear,
I bear with, all for you.
I fall, I get steady again,
I walk again then, for you..

koi dard hoon gehra
koi aks hoon bisra
main kya hoon bata de tere liye..
Am I some deep pain,
or some forgotten mirror image,
tell me, what I am for you.

yaadon ka chehra
koi khwaab sunehera
main kya hoon bata de tere liye..
Am I a face of memories,
or some golden dream,
tell me what I am for you..

tere liye.. tere liye..
tere liye.. tere liye..

main khoya saa ik lamha hoon
bas is pal hoon tere liye
main aawara baadal hoon
bas is pal hoon tere liye
I am a lost moment,
For this moment alone, I am here for you.
I am a wandering cloud,
For this moment alone, I am here for you.

mere har marz ki tu dava hai
hui hai qubool wo duaa hai
ye ulfat hai ya koi nasha hai
jise chhoona chaahe tu wo dhuaan hai
you are the medicine for every disease of mine.
you are that prayer of mine that is granted (by God).
is it love, or some intoxication,
that which you want to touch is smoke..

tere liye.. tere liye..
tere liye.. tere liye..

jo main kehta hoon, jo sunta hoon
jo sehta hoon, tere liye..
main girta hoon, sambhalta hoon
phir chalta hoon, tere liye..

Ye Fitoor Mera Parvardigara Lyrics Translation | Fitoor

Movie: Fitoor
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Swanand Kirkire
Singer: Arijit Singh
Label: Zee Music Company

zindagi ne ki hain kaisi saazishein
poori hui dil ki wo farmaishein
maangi duaa ek tujh tak jaa pahunchi
parvardigara, parvardigara
kaisi suni tune meri khaamoshi
o parvardigara

what kind of conspiracies life has done,
that the demands of the heart are met..
a wish I made reached you,
O God, O my Lord..
how did you listen to my silence,
O my lord..

ye fitoor mera laaya mujhko hai tere kareeb
ye fitoor mera rehmat teri
ye fitoor mera maine badla re mera naseeb
ye fitoor mera chaahat teri
o parvardigara, parvardigara

this madness of mine has brought me close to you.
this obsession of mine is your mercy..
this madness of mine, that I have changed my luck,
this obsession of mine, your love..
O my God..

dheeme dheeme jal rahi thi khwaishein
dil mein dabi, ghuT rahi farmaaishein
banke dhuaan wo
tujh tak jaa pahunchi, parvardigara..
deewangi ki hadd maine nochi o parvardigara

slowly, the wishes were burning,
and my demands (maybe desires would sound better here) were getting choked in my heart.
they became smoke, and reached you, O my Lord..
I pinched the peak of madness, O my Lord..

ye fitoor mera laaya mujhko hai tere kareeb
ye fitoor mera rehmat teri
ye fitoor mera maine badla re mera naseeb
ye fitoor mera chahat teri
o parvardigaara, parvardigara

ye fitoor mera laaya mujhko hai tere kareeb
ye fitoor mera rehmat teri
ye fitoor mera maine badla re mera naseeb
ye fitoor mera chaahat teri
parvardigaara...

Senti Wali Mental Chhoriyan Lyrics Translation | Shaandaar

Movie: Shaandaar
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singers: Swanand Kirkire, Arijit Singh, Amit Trivedi, Neeti Mohan
Label: Zee Music Company

baDi hi senTi wali menTal hai ye chhoriyan
o.. ki machchhar bhi kaaTe
to selfie uski kheench lein
zamaane se lena na dena
ya khuda ya khuda tu hume in se bachaana zara
ki nakli noTon ka ek bundle hain ye chhoriyan
baDi hi senti wali menTal hain ye chhoriyaan

these girls are very sentimentally crazy,
even if a mosquito bites them,
they take a selfie of it.
they have nothing to do with the world around..
O God save us from them..
these girls are a bundle of fake notes..
these girls are very sentimentally crazy..

ho subaho shaam taaDe ye laDkiyon ko gaur se
rakhein haath dil pe par dhaDke kahin aur se..

from morning till evening they stare at girls
they keep their hands on the hearts but they beat somewhere else.

akal hai maTar ka daana re
ya khuda ya khuda, aaina inko dikhana zara
aji harkat se accidental hain ye chhokre
hume kehte hain par khud menTal hain ye chhokre

their brains are pea sized,
O God, show them the mirror please..
they are accident-prone of deeds, these boys,
they call us crazy but they themselves are crazy..

haaye ye mascara lip-gloss ki jitni bahaar hai
jo laDke palat ke na dekhein to bekaar hai
na dekhein to bekaar hai

oh, all this blossoming of mascara and lip-gloss that is there,
it’s of no use if the boys don’t turn their heads..
it’s useless if they don’t..

ho ye Audi BMW ghanta Jaguar hai
jo laDki na baiThi to kaahe ki mehangi car hai re

these Audi BMW and Jaguar are useless,
if a girl doesn’t sit in your expensive car, what worth is it!

haan, ye duniya hai bus stop laDki bus ke jaisi
ruko paanch minute-on me agli phir milegi
ho sambhal ke kahin na ye bus chhooT jaaye
baaki zindagi warna paidal hi kaTegi

this world is a bus stop and a girl is like a bus,
wait, and you’ll find another in the next five minutes..
be careful lest you should miss the bus,
else, rest of your life will pass on foot..

laDkiyan bana bola, goD ne bhi "oh my goD!""
god ka karishma laDki, laDke god ka hain frauD
ho tradition yahi hai apna laDkiyan paraya dhan
ho laDke jaise kaale dhan se
better hai paraya dhan ji
better hai paraya dhan
ho gaya faisla jaao ji
munh dho ke aao zaraa

after making girls even God said, O my God.
A girl is God’s miracle, and boys are God’s fraud.
our tradition is that girls are someone else’s property.
[paraya dhan is an old term that was used for girls as they had to go and live with the family of the boy they are married to.]
oh, someone else’s property is better than black money that boys are.
yeah, someone else’s property is better than that.
so now the decision is done,
go and wash your face..

laDkiyon ke pairon ka sanDal hain ye chhokre
humein kehte hain par khud menTal hain ye chhokre
arey harqat se accidental hain ye chhokre...

these boys are the sandal of the girls’ feet,
they call us crazy but they themselves are crazy.
they are accident prone by habit..

main hoon wo sanDal ki jispe tera bojh hai
main single pasli tu Double Dose hai
kaisa ye dastoor kaisa riwaaz hai
medium dulhe ki dulhan extra large hai
tujhe kya lagta hai teri hirni chaal hai
teri kamar hai kamra 2 BHK hall hai
rishta hai nahi ye to poora scam hai
zindagi ka safar ab to stuck in jam hai

I am the sandal on which your weight is there,
I am too lean, while you are double dose.
what a tradition this is,
that the bride for medium sized groom is extra large.
what do you think you have a walk like a deer,
your waise is like a room, or a 2BHK hall..
this is not a relationship, it’s a scam.
the journey of life is now stuck in a traffic jam..

joDta hoon main tere haath
mujhko phansna nahi tere saath
pyaar mujhko jispe aaye
tujh mein na ek bhi aisi baat
maarun aisi joDi ko laat
jo kare jeevan ko barbaad
dekh tu haalat apni
tujhpe hai sharminda aurat zaat
haan... chal haT...

I request to you humbly,
I don’t want to be stuck with you,
There is no such thing in you
that I’d fall in love with..
I reject a pair
that ruins the life,
take a look at yourself,
all women would be ashamed of you.
Go, Go away!

patli kamar ki tujhko kya itni demand hai
Brad Pitt ka pota hai, ya tu James Bond hai
maa agar teri moTi hoti to kya chhoD deta
size ke Dar se kya us se bhi naata toD deta?

why do you have such a demand for thin waist,
are you Brad Pitt’s grandson or James Bond himself?
had your mother been fat, would you have left her?
afraid of weight, would you have broken your relation with her too?

haan wazan ka kya hai ye workout se ghaT jaayega
tere jaisa blunder kaise un-Do ho payega
aurat zaat ko jo neecha dikhayega
jaan le besharam miTTi mein mil jayega

what’s there in weight, it’ll reduce by workout,
(but) how would a blunder like you be undo-ed?
whoever insults woman race,
know this, the shameless will get finished.

auraton ki izzat ka jo kare public mein faalooda
dekh durghaTna hai tere jaisi paidaaish behooda
thobDa achchha na sahi baat achchhi kar le beTa
tere jaise buDbak ko thoDi buddhi baksh re khuda
sympathy unse hai jinke ghar tere jaisa puttar hua

you who disrespects women in public,
even your birth is a preposterous accident.
even if your face isn’t good, talk good, son,
may God give some brains to a stupid like you.
I have sympathy with those in whose home you were born..

kami hai mujh mein aur perfection hain ye chhoriyan
god ka ultimate creation hai ye chhoriyan
khuda se bandon ka connection hai ye chhoriyan
kami hai mujhme aur perfection hain ye chhoriyan

There is problem with me and these girls are perfection.
these girls are the ultimate creation of god,
these girls are God’s connection with His men,
There is problem with me and these girls are perfection.

raaton ke jaage subah mile hain
resham ke dhaage ye silsile hain
laazmi si lagne lagi hain
do dilon ki ab nazdeekiyaan

those awake for nights have met in the morning
these series are (soft and lovely) like silk threads,
now they have begun to seem important,
these closenesses of the two hearts..

hmm dikhti nahi hain par ho rahi hain mehsoos nazdeekiyan
do dil hi jaanein lagti hain kitni mehfooz nazdeekiyan

one can’t see, but can feel the closenesses,
only these two hearts know how safe these closenesses feel..

zariyaa hai ye aankhein zariya
chhalakta hai jinse ek armaanon ka dariya
aadatein hain in ki puraani
ankahi si keh de kahaani

these eyes are a medium,
through which an ocean of wishes spills out,
it’s their old habit
to say unsaid stories..

parchhaaiyaan do juDne lagi hain
dekho hawa mein uDne lagi hain
pankh jaisi lagne lagi hain
do dilon ki ab nazdeekiyan

two shadows have begun to merge,
see, they have begun to fly in the air,
now the closeness of the two hearts,
seems to be like wings..

Gulaabo or Gulabo is nothing but a name that comes out of Gulaab — Rose, and hence would literally mean Rosy, or Pinky, if you will.

hey surma lagaa ke
laTein uljha ke
haath jiya pe mal-mal
tere chhajje ke neeche khaDe hain
phans gaye jaise daldal

having applied the eye-kohl,
entangling the hair,
and rubbing the hand over the heart,
I am standing under your balcony,
like I am stuck in marsh..

tere chhajje ke neeche hi khaDe hain
phans gaye jaise daldal
gulabo.. zara itr gira do
gulabo.. zara itr gira do..

I am standing under your balcony,
like I am stuck in marsh..
O pinky, pour some perfume over,
O Gulaabo, pour some perfume over (where I stand)..

tauba tauba tu to meeTha sa murabba
tauba tauba tu to shehad ka dabba
bhen ki Takki oye
wow so lucky oye

O my god, you are like some sweet pickle,
O my god, you are a box of honey,
O my my,
wow, you are so lucky,
everyone’s out to seek you and you seek them out.

[Dain and dhappa are references to the Indian version of Hide and Seek.]

On the cocktail menu just your name is there, in the bar.
there are posters and ads out,
this time, it’s your government..

Gulaabo, just make a chaos..

Yeh Shaam Shaandaar Lyrics Translation | Shaandaar

Movie: Shaandaar
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Amit Trivedi
Label: Zee Music Company

Amit Trivedi is here again. His composition for the Shaandaar title song has a touch of Gujariya from Queen, which was Amit and director Vikas Behl's last treat together, but the song is totally dhinchak and will-make-you-dance type. So much so that we couldn't resist giving you the lyrics we heard in the trailer. Watch the trailer for the awesome chemistry between Pankaj and Shahid Kapur, and Alia's aila madness.

Sar jhuka ke kar salaam
hai shaam shaandaar..
aasmaan se aa giri
hai shaam shaandaar..

bow your head and salute,
the evening is splendid.
from the sky has fallen
a splendid evening.



chak de andhera
chaand jala de
bulb bana ke..
fikr na kariyo,
karna bhi kya hai
bijli bacha ke..

sare aam pila khushi ke jaam shaandaar
aasmaan se aa giri ye shaam shaandaar

throw away the darkness
light the moon,
like an electric bulb..
don’t worry,
what does one have to do
saving electricity..
openly offer splendid drinks of joy..
from the sky has fallen a splendid evening

jazbaat ke chillar ko noTe bana ke
mehendi raat pe khulke luTa
chingaariyon ko visphoT bana ke
aiyyashi ke tu rockeT chhuDa
kaisa Dar, tu kar guzar ye kaam shaandaar
aasmaan se aa giri ye shaam shaandaar

making notes of the change (coins) of emotions,
throw them away on the night of mehendi..
making a bomb out of sparks,
launch the rocket of ostentation..
what's to fear, you just do this splendid work.
from the sky has fallen a splendid evening.

Ye shaam shaandaar
Yeh shaam shaandaar..

this splendid evening..
this splendid evening..

mere har ik armaan se zyaada
chaahe re tujhko jiya
kaise karoon yakeen tu hai dilbar

ye dil tune bas mein kiya, behroopiya,,
haseen kusoor kiya..

the heart loves you
more than my every wish
how do I believe you are there O beloved,
or is that some impersonator..
you have taken control of this heart,
impersonator..

maine ik muskaan sajaakar
raaz ko parda diya..
pyaara tujhe hai meri soorat se
mera naqaab piya.. behroopiya,,
zara sa hai fark piya, behroopiya,,

I, with a smile,
gave a veil to the secret,
more than my face,
you love my veil (of a smile), O beloved..
there is just a little difference O beloved,
impersonator..

jalaa chingaari, shama ban ja
main bhi parwaana hoon, mujhe aazma..
bujhi shamma se na dil behla,
haath mein aayega tere bas dhuaan

burn a spark, be a candle,
I am a moth too, try me..
don’t amuse yourself with a blown out candle,
you’ll get just smoke..

hai ye sitam hai ye zulm saraasar
neendon pe kabza kiya

this is torture, surely a torment,
that you have captured my sleep,
believe, I am there, O beloved,

ye dil tujhe de hi diya,
jo hona hai hoga piya,
behrupiya,

I have given you this heart..
whatever has to happen will happen,

I told my heart a hundred times,

Dhadam Dhadaam Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Neeti Mohan
Label: Zee Music Company

dhaDam-dhaDam is something like the beating sound of the heart. At the same time dhaDaam is also onomatopoeia used for the sound of a fall. So here dhaDam dhaDam shows heart beat, but the choice of word also somewhere it shows a fall, metaphorically a sadness, as well.

dava na kaam aaye
dua bachaa na paaye
sirf haare
dhaDkanein goonjti dhaDam dhaDam,
darbadar ghoomti dhaDam dhaDam..
malaal mein..

no medicines work,
wishes can’t save you,
I just lose..
heartbeats echo thump thump,
they roam door to door, thump thump,
in sorrow…

hum pe beeti hai jo bhi
kehna chaahte the hum,
kyun chup rehne ki tumne
khaamakha mein di kasam
ab hai gila tumhe,
humne daga tumhe, hai diya..
jaan ke kadam kadam,
ilzaam ye hum pe hai
sitam sitam..
dhaDkanein goonjti dhaDam dhaDam,
malaal mein….

what has happened with me,
I wanted to say,
why have you given me
an oath to remain quiet for no reason..
now you have a complaint,
that I have deceived you..
even after knowing, step after step,
this blame to me,
is a torture..
heartbeats echo thump thump,
in sorrow..

tum rooThe to hum TooTe,
kitne hum kareeb hain
haare tum ko to samjhe,
kitne hum gareeb hain,
hum sehra ki tarah,
tum baadal ho mera
baarishein DhoonDhti dhaDam dhaDam,
darbadar ghoomti dhaDaam dhaDaam,
dhaDkanein goonjti dhaDam dhaDam,
malaal mein….

you got angry, and I broke,
how close we are,
when I lost you, I understood
how poor I am..
I am like a desert,
you are my sky..
rains search, thump thump.
they roam door to door, thump thump,
heartbeats echo thump thump,
in sorrow…

dhaDkanein dhaDam dhaDam,
goonj ke dhaDaam dhaDaam,
jaise maut ki sazaa,
suna raheen..

heartbeats, thump thump,
echoing, thump thump,
seem to be declaring
the capital punishment (to me)..

dhaDkanein dhaDam dhaDam,
poochh ke dhaDaam dhaDaam,
kitni saans hain bacheen,
gina raheen,

heartbeats, thump thump,
asking, thump thump,
how many breaths are remaining (in my life)
making me count (how much life remains for me)..

dhaDaam dhaDaam dhaDaam
dhaDaam dhaDaam dhaDaam,
malaaal meeeeinn….

Ye Kya Kiya Sylvia Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Neeti Mohan
Label: Zee Music Company

jhooThe mooThe vaade wafaaon ke gina ke
apne deewane ko tu chhoD gayi, chhoD gayi
ye kya kiya sylvia, ye kya kiya sylvia

making him count the false promises of love,
you left your crazy lover, you left him,
what did you do, Sylvia? What did you do there, Sylvia?

ek bhanwre se nain laDa ke
apne piya ka dil toD gayi, toD gayi
ye kya kiya sylvia, ye kyun kiya

having your eyes met with those of a bumblebee,
you broke your beloved’s heart, you broke it,
what did you do, Sylvia? What did you do there, Sylvia?

sachche jazbaat ki kadar nahi haaye
tujhe kisi ghair ki chhuan sada bhaaye
zamaana de duhaai, kaahe wo phir khaayi
jin kasmon se munh moD gayi, moD gayi
ye kya kiya sylvia, ye kya kiya sylvia..

alas! there is no value of true sentiments,
you always like the touch of someone else..
the world warns you, then why did you take those oaths,
from which you turned away, you turned away..
what did you do there, Sylvia? What did you do?

bhanwra tha sayaana, muqar hi gaya na
ruswaai reh gayi, ruswaayi
ghonsla suhaana ujaD hi gaya na
tanhaai reh gayi, tanhaayi
aankhon ke surme ko daag banaaya
kaanch ke ashiyaan ko phoonk jalaya
fitrat mein teri thi bewafaai
tu pyaar pe tohmat chhoD gayi

the bumblebee was intelligent, he declined (your offer) right,
there remained just disgrace..
the beautiful nest finally got ruined, right?
there remained just loneliness..
you turned the eye kohl into a stain,
you burned off the glass house,
there was infidelity in your nature,
you left a false accusation on love…

ye kya kiya Sylvia,
ye kya kiya Sylvia
yeh kya kiya Sylvia!

Darbaan Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Papon
Label: Zee Music Company

sab vyapar hai, kaarobar hai
mauka hai saamne tu bhi taiyaar hai

this is all a business, all business,
there is a chance in front, you too are ready..

tere aage mehel aalishan hai
bas darwaze pe ek darbaan hai
ek darban hai, ek darbaan hai

there is a beautiful palace ahead of you,
just that there is a gatekeeper at the door..
there is a gatekeeper, there is a gatekeeper..

badshah sadkon ka tu
sadkein hi teri taqdeer hain
daakhila oonche makaanon mein
kuchh Thekedaron ki jaageer hai
ek anaar hai, sau beemar hain
is usool pe chalta bazar hai

you are the king of roads,
roads are your fate,
entry to big houses,
in property of some contractors..
there is one pomegranate and a hundred sick people,
on this rule does the market work..

[ek anaar sau beemaar, literally one pomegranate and a hundred sick people, is a proverb which means too much demand when the supply is very limited.]

tere aage mehal aalishan hai
bas darwaaze pe ek darbaan hai

ek darban hai, ek darbaan hai
baadshah sadkon ka tu
sadkein hi teri taqdeer hain
dakhila oonche makanon mein
kuchh thekedaron ki jaagir hai

Hai Naak Pe Jo Gussa Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Neeti Mohan
Label: Zee Music Company

hai naak pe jo gussa, haaye gussa
chhupa bhi na sakein, jataa bhi na sakein
to phir fizool hai ye qissa

['naak pe gussa hona' is an idiom which means to be short tempered.]

the anger that is there on the nose
if we can neither hide it, nor express it,
then this whole story (of our love) is useless..

ho bahut paheliyaan bana chuke ho tum
ab aake hal bata bhi do
bhare baazaar mein agar na keh sako
to ghar ka phir pata bhi to do

you have made enough riddles,
now come and tell me the solution too..
if you can’t say openly in the market,
then give me the address to your home..

hai naak pe jo gussa,
chhupa bhi na sakein, jataa bhi na sakein
to phir fizool hai ye kissa

sheher ke ameer saare aaye hum pe dil luTaane
chhoD ke dukaandaari baiThe tumhein manaane
thoDa reham tum bhi karo
kyun na muskura ke jhaaD do
sirf dhool hai ye gussa
chhupa bhi na sakein, jataa bhi na sakein
to phir fizool hai ye kissa..

all the rich of the city came to give me their heart,
but I am sitting here to placate you, leaving my shop..
you too do some kindness to me,
now smile and flick it away,
this anger is just some dust!
if we can neither hide it, nor express it,
then this whole story (of our love) is useless..

ho bahut paheliyan bana chuke ho tum
ab aa ke hal bata bhi do
bhare bazaar mein agar na keh sako
to ghar ka phir pata bhi to do
hai naak pe jo gussa, haaye..

dil chura ke dil jalaana, ye to qaai’da nahi hai
pyaar mein ghuroor ho to koi faayda nahi hai
sar ko bhale jhukaao nahi
kyun na sar uthaa ke maan lo
ek bhool hai ye gussa

to steal the heart and then give heartburn, that’s not a way,
if there is ego in love, there is no use (of such love)
if you wish, don’t bow your head,
why don’t you admit with your head held high,
that this anger is a mistake..

ho chhupa bhi na sakein, jataa bhi na sake
to phir fizool hai ye kissa

ho bahut paheliyan bana chuke ho tum
ab aa ke hal bataaAAaa bhi do
bhare bazaar mein agar na keh sako
to ghar ka phir pata bhi to do
hai naak pe jo gussaaaaaa…..
sab vyapar hai, kaarobar hai
mauka hai saamne tu bhi taiyar hai

Ka Kha Ga Gha Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Neeti Mohan
Label: Zee Music Company

In this song, ka kha ga gha, that make the title of the song, are the first four letters of the Hindi alphabet. This is one interesting part of the song, because we rarely get to see such things in Hindi, and sounds wonderful too. However, for the purpose of translation into English, we have translated it as ABCD, which is not the exact translation, but gives the correct meaning anyway.

aye, tumse mili to pyaar ka seekha, ka kha ga gha
aye, samjhaao na kyun pyaar ka ulTa hai, ka kha ga gha
kyun jo dard de, taDpaaye bhi, lagta hai pyara woh hi
kyun TooTe ye dil, kehlaaye dil tabhi..

when I met you, I learnt the abcd of love,
hey, explain to me why is the abcd of love is opposite (to common sense, counterintuitive)
why, the one who gives pain, torments too, only seems loving,
why does this heart have to break and is then only called heart..

tairne ki jo koshishein kare kaahe Doob jaata hai
sab bhula ke jo doob jaaye kyun wo tair paata hai
wo jo har khel mein jeeta yahaan dilbar se hara wohi
kyun TooTe ye dil, kehlaaye dil tabhi..

whoever tries to swim, why does s/he drown
and the one who forgets everything and drowns, is the one to swim..
the one who has won in every game, he only lost to the beloved here,
why does this heart have to break and is then only called heart..

aye, tumse mili to pyaar ka seekha, ka kha ga gha
aye, samjhaao na kyun pyaar ka ulTa hai, ka kha ga gha

dhat teri!
iski hai saza kubool ho jise yahaan wahi wahi bari hua hai
is mein jo muqadmaa kare aji wahi wahi mara hai
bataao kyun is jail se bhaaga hai jo dobaara lauta wo bhi
kyun TooTe ye dil, kehlaaye dil tabhi..

Oh damn!
the one who accepts the punishment here, is the one who goes free here,
in this, the one who files the litigation, he, he only dies..
tell me why who runs from this prison also comes back again,
why does this heart have to break and is then only called heart.

aye, tumse mili to pyaar ka seekha, ka kha ga gha
aye, samjhaao na kyun pyaar ka ulTa hai, ka kha ga gha

Aam Hindustani Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Shefali Alvares
Label: Zee Music Company

dhobi ka kutta jaise ghaaT ka na ghar ka
poori tarah na idhar ka, na udhar ka
sun le nikhaTTu tera wahi to haal hai

like a washerman’s dog that belongs to neither home nor river bank,
you are neither fully in this side nor in that..
listen O useless, that’s your condition..

zindagi ki race mein jo munh uTha ke dauDa
zindagi ne maari laat peechhe chhoDa
tu hai wo TaTTu, gadhe si jiski chaal hai
pyaar mein Thenga, bar mein Thenga
in ki botal bhi goron ki ghulaam hai
rooThi hai mehbooba, rooThi rooThi sharaab hai,
ae aam hindustani teri kismat kharaab hai

as you ran the race of life with your face up,
life kicked you and left you behind..
you are that mule, whose walk is like that of a donkey..
you got nothing in love, nothing in the bar,
even the bottle (of liquor) is the English’s servant..
your beloved is angry, and the liquor is angry too,
O common Indian, your luck is bad..

aasman se tu yoon gira, khajoor pe tu aTka
tere haalaat ne uTha ke tujhko paTka
ki aisi champi ke tere hosh uD gaye
bewafaai dekh ke jo aayi tujhko hichki
chauDi chhaati teri chuTkiyon mein pichki
gham ki batti, ah, mili to baal jhaD gaye

you fell from sky such, that you stuck on the date’s tree,
your situation threw you here,
it rubbed you such that you lost your consciousness..
when you got a hiccup, looking at infidelity,
your wide chest narrowed down in a snap,
when you got a hint of sorrow, you lost your hair..

pyaar mein Thenga, bar mein Thenga
ye botal bhi goron ki ghulam hai
rooThi hai mehbooba, rooThi rooThi sharaab hai
hey aam hindustaani teri kismat kharaab hai..

aadmi nahi tu samjhe khud ko machhli
ulti ganga mein hai tairne ki khujli
par yeh huqoomat rahe magarmachh hai
laalach ne tujhko aisi paTTi paDhaai
khwaahish ne li hai Degchi kaDhaai
taqdeer teri abhi bhi chammach mein hai

you don’t think of yourself as a human, but a fish,
you have a strong desire to go against the flow,
but this government remains like a crocodile..
greed has taught you such a lesson,
that wishes have taken even your vessels,
and now your luck is in just a spoon
[maybe because he just has spoons left in his kitchen, or because is luck is so small now, or both.]

pyaar mein Thenga, bar mein Thenga
ye botal bhi goron ki ghulam hai
rooThi hai mehbooba, rooThi rooThi sharab hai
hey aam hindustani teri kismat kharab hai

Mohabbat Buri Bimari Lyrics Translation | Bombay Velvet

Movie: Bombay Velvet
Music: Amit Trivedi (Remix by Mikey McCleary)
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Shalmali Kholgade
Label: Zee Music Company

mohabbat buri bimari
lagi tujhe to teri zimmedari
mohabbat buri bimaari..

Love is a bad disease..
if you get it, it’s your responsibility..
Love is a bad disease..

ye beraham jisko kaaTe
paani nahi daaru wo maange
ghar se khuda ko haTaa ke
mehboob ki tasveer Taange
lagti hai halki paDti hai bhaari
lagti hai halki paDti hai bhaari
paDti hai hmm.. paDti hai.. ha!

whoever is bit by this cruel thing,
he doesn’t even ask for water, but for liquor instead.
[kaaTa paani nahi maangna, literally meaning not to ask for water when bitten, is an idiom used for quick death, often in context of or comparing with a deadly snake whose venom would be so strong that the person bitten would not even live long enough to demand for water.]
he removes God from his house,
and puts a picture of his beloved there.
it looks simple, but turns out to be tough..
it looks easy, but turns out to be tough..

mohabbat buri beemari….

chhoone se hoti nahi
nazron ke raste se aaye
jhagda hai iska akal se
masoom dil pe kabza jamaaye
soorat se bholi neeyat shikari
soorat se bholi neeyat shikaari
neeyat shikaari.. neeyat shikaari..

It doesn’t spread by touching,
but comes through the eyes..
it has an issue with the brains,
it has captured the naive heart..
it’s innocent by face, but the intention is that of a hunter..

[the first line here would also remind people of ads opposing the social stigma against AIDS patients, these ads always said AIDS isn’t spread by touching.]

mohabbat buri beemaari
lagi tujhe to teri zimmedaari
mohabbat buri bimari...

to teri zimmedaari..
mohabbat buri bimari!

Na Udne ki is Dafa Thaani, Parindon ne bhi Wafa Jaani: The meaning I Took

I'm not sure how mesmerized you are listening to the beautiful lyrics in Lootera, but I'm quite so, and not without reason. Especially after I saw the movie, the words seemed to make even more sense. Completely loved the words of Amitabh Bhattacharya.

Anyway, there were two lines in the song Shikaayatein Mitaane Lagi, that I was not sure of whether people would understand or not. At least not the way I understood them. The lines were:

naa udne ki iss dafaa thaani,
parindon ne bhi wafaa jaani..

That is,

They decided not to fly this time,
Even the birds understood (the need, or say importance of) faithfulness this time..

Leaving aside the context of the lines in the movie, how do you interpret them individually in the song. I don't know how others interpreted it, but to me this seemed to come straight from a poem by Shri Maithili Sharan Gupta that I read as a child.

There, when a fire breaks out in a tree, the birds in the tree are asked:

आग लगी इस वृक्ष में, जलते इसके पात,
तुम क्यों जलते पक्षियों, जब पंख तुम्हारे पास?

i.e.,

There is a fire in this tree, it's leaves are burning,
Why do you burn O birds, when you have wings with you?

And the birds reply:

फल खाये इस वृक्ष के, गंदे कीने पात,
यही हमारा धर्म है, हम जलें इसी के साथ.

i.e.,

We ate the fruits of this tree, and dirtied its leaves with our excreta,
Now this is our duty, that we burn with it..

So this was the feeling of patriotism that I believe has been the source of inspiration for Amitabh's words in the song, though, the sense of duty and responsibility here doesn't go exactly as patriotism as per the movie. For confirmation though, he's not available here. Amitabh ji, if you're reading this post somewhere, a comment would be helpful to us.
