Hindi Lyrics TranslationBaba Ki Rani HoonHere is the song 'Baba Ki Rani Hoon' from movie 'Aapko Pehele Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai'. |
|
baaba ki raani huun aankhon ka paani huun...
I'm my father's princess [lit.: queen, but in English, that sounds faintly incestuous]; I'm tears in the eyes;
bah jaana hai jise do pal kahaani huun I'm that which must flow away; I'm a story that's over in two moments.
amma ki bitiya huun aangan ki mitiya huun... I'm my mother's daughter; I'm the earth in our courtyard...
tuk-tuk nihaare jo pardesi chitthiya huun I'm the one who watches expectantly; I'm a stranger on loan [to my birth family].
mamta ke aanchal mein jo geet gaaye hain Those songs which have been sung at affection's breast,
baabul ne chhutphut jo sapne sajaaye hain those various dreams my father spun for me:
vo yaad aayenge gup-chup rulaayenge memories of them will come silently, and make me weep,
doli ke sang mere jab saath jaayenge when the wedding palanquin departs with me.
baaba ki raani huun aankhon ka paani huun I'm my father's princess; I'm tears in the eyes;
bah jaana hai jise do pal kahaani huun I'm that which must flow away; I'm a story that's over in two moments.
khil khilke hansna yeh sakhiyon ki baaton pe Laughing at my friends' conversation,
anjaan naamon ki mehndi yeh haaton pe henn on my hands for the sake of a stranger,
jab rang laayegi rim-jhim ghir aayengi... when it takes hold and becomes bright, the pattering of rain will enclose me...
aankhein ghaTaayon si buunde giraayengi My eyes will be like dark clouds, and drops will fall.
baaba ki raani huun aankhon ka paani huun... I'm my father's princess [lit.: queen, but in English, that sounds faintly incestuous]; I'm tears in the eyes;
bah jaana hai jise do pal kahaani huun I'm that which must flow away; I'm a story that's over in two moments.
amma ki biTiya huun aangan ki miTiya huun... I'm my mother's daughter; I'm the earth in our courtyard...
tuk-tuk nihaare jo pardesi chitthiya huun I'm the one who watches expectantly; I'm a stranger on loan.
pardesi chitthiya huun... I'm a stranger on loan... |
