Bindiya Chamke Choodi Khanke

–FEMALE–
Bindiya chamke, choodi khanke – 2
the dot on the forehead shines, the bangles make a clinking sound
Laung maare lashkaare,
the nose pin shines
Hum ho gaye tumhaare
I have become yours
Haai, bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare
O re sajan tohe mhaari kasam – 2
oh my love, I ask you for my sake
Arre maang ma bhar de taarein
fill stars in the parting of my hair
(sindoor in parting of hair symbolizes marriage for Hindu women)

–MALE–
Hoye, bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare
Hey, bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare

–FEMALE–
Chhupti nahin dil ki baatein
you can’t hide matters of the heart
Sab keh jaati hain aankhen
these eyes tell every thing
Mujhko kuch kuch hota hai
some thing happens to me
Jab thaame tu yeh baahein
when you take hold of my arms

–MALE–
Hum khud ko bhool jaayenge
I will forget myself
Tumko na bhool paayenge
I will never be able to forget tyou
Tumko agar bhool jaayenge
If I was to forget you
Hum jeena na chaahenge
I would not want to live

–FEMALE–
Poore hue armaan saare
all my desires have been fulfilled
Bas mein nahin hum hamaare
I am not in control of myself any more
Hum ho gaye tumhaare
I have become yours

–MALE–
Haai, bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare, hey!

Mm, dil yeh jab lag jaata hai
once this heart gets attached
Phir to jiya nahin jaata hai
then it becomes hard to live
Tum jo nazar aa jaate ho
when I catch a glimpse of you
Kuch bhi nazar nahin aata hai
then I can not see any thng else

–FEMALE–
Haan, pal do pal ki baat nahin
yes, this is not a matter of seconds
Yeh janmon ka naata hai
this is a connection of many lives (rebirth)
Jisse pyaar ho uska naam Dil pe likha jaata hai
the one whom we love, his name is written on our hearts

–MALE–
Arre dil yeh de doon, jaan bhi de doon
I will give this heart, I will even give this life
Kar de agar tu ishaare
if you were just to indicate that
Hum ho gaye tumhaare
I have become yours

–FEMALE–
Haai, bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare

–MALE–
O re sajan mohe thaari kasam – 2
oh my love, I promise in your name
Thaari maang ma bhar doon taarein
I will fill stars in the parting of your hair

–FEMALE–
Bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare, haan

–MALE–
Bindiya chamke, choodi khanke
Laung maare lashkaare
Hum ho gaye tumhaare

–FEMALE–
Oh, hum ho gaye tumhaare

–MALE–
Oh, hum ho gaye tumhaare

Some of the lines do not make too much sense when translated literally. We just do not have the same phrases in Hindi and English.
