[Jeanette]

I would really like to have the English Translation of the song Aaja Nachle from the movie by the same name as well as Jai Ho from Sumdog Millionaire.

Jai Ho

{I found the translation for this song on someone’s blog a while ago, but I can’t seem to find it again. Too bad because it was very nicely translated, along with the Spanish as well. I can’t find the full lyrics right now, just the hindi, so I’ll try and translate that for you as best I can. =)}

Jai Ho is like a victory shout. Literally translated, it means “may there be victory.” I’ve also heard it being used in Indian politics, when one of the politicians is being cheered on, “may so and so achieve victory.”

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come, come under the tent of life
Aaja Zariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
Come under the “zari” blue sky (Zari is, I think, a type of thread. I guess in this song, they’re saying the sky is woven with the zari thread.)
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
Truthfully, I have lost my life piece by piece (I actually don’t know what “ratti” means. I’m guessing it means like ioto, so he’s lost his life iota by iota, inch by inch. Maybe died a little every time something bad happened and now there is nothing left to kill, so he’s dead. Not really, though. Only poetically. Or mentally…
Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
I have spent the night dancing on coals
Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
I blew away the sleep in my eyes by blowing on it

Gin Gin Tare Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
I have burned my finger (trying) to count all the stars
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Aaja Zariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Chakh Le, Ha Chakh Le, Ye Raat Shahad Hai.. Chakh Le
Taste it, yes taste it, this night is honey, taste it
Rakh Le, Ha Dil Hai, Dil Aakhri Had Hai.. Rakh Le
Keep it, yes this is a heart, heart is the last limit(the very last thing to give away).. Keep it
Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
Your black black kohl/eyeliner is your black magic of some kind, isn’t it

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Jo Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Keh De
Since when, yes since when, that which has (the words that) have stopped at your lips… say it
Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Keh De
Since when, yes since when, my eyes are now closed (closed so that you won’t be intimidated and would freely be able to say what you have been wanting to say for so long)… say it
Aisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Doh Doh Heere Hai Kya
Such bright eyes, are these (eyes) actually two bright diamonds?

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Aaja Nachle

jhanak jhanak jhan
khanak khanak khan
jhanak jhanak khanak khanak khan khan
(sounds of bangles and anklets)
mera jhumka utha ke laaya yaar ve
(there went my lover and fetched my ear-ring for me…)
jo gira tha Barielly ke bazaar mein
(…which dropped off in the Bareilly market…)
main to thumka laga ke sharma gayi
(with a sway in my body, i turned coy)
boli ghoonghar bandha de ke main aa gayi
(and said to tie the (little bells on the anklets) for I have come)
mujhko nacha ke nach le
(make me dance and join in as well)
aaja nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
(common lets dance, my love )
jhanak jhanak jhankaar
(to the beats of my anklets)
ho…nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
ab to lutaa hai bazaar
(now that the market is in brisk business)
sub ko bhula ke nach le
(forget everything and just dance)
aaja nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
jhanak jhanak jhankaar
ho…nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
ab to lutaa hai bazaar
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle chhatt pe bula ke nachle
(common lets dance by calling everyone on the rooftops)
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle jhatt se utha ke nachle
(common lift your feet at once and lets dance)
ho…
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle chhatt pe bula ke nachle
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle jhatt se utha ke nachle
maine galti kari thi meri nathni padi thi
(it was but a mistake of mine when my nose stud was lying there and…)
haaan…
maine galti kari thi meri nathni padi thi
ke sone me usko rangaa gayi
(… and i went ahead to give it a gold veneer)
main rangaa ke atariyaa pe aa gayi
(and after I turned it into gold I came to the balcony)
mauhalle mien kaisi maar-a-maar hai
(The “push-and-shove” that is now (going on) in the street)
mere dar pe, dewaano ki bahaar hai
There is a shower of madmen (who claim to love me) at my doorstep

sabko nacha ke nachle
(make everyone dance and dance along)
aaja nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
jhanak jhanak jhankaar
ho…nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
ab to lutaa hai bazaar
subko bhula ke nach le
aaja nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
jhanak jhanak jhankaar
ho…nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
ab to lutaa hai bazaar

mai toh kamsin kali thi zara tanke chali thi haye…
(like a tender flower, i walked away with a zing in my step…)
ho…mai toh kamsin kali thi zara tanke chali thi
aage jaake gali mein balkha gaayi
(only to stumble at the turn of the alley)
mui jaane jawaani kab aa gayi
(Who knew when youth had come upon me)
mere sadke zamaane ki kamayi re
(this world yearns for a sight of mine, worth more than their earnings)
mujhe deta udhari halwai re
(and even shopkeepers lend me almost anything)
sabko nacha ke nachle
aaja nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
jhanak jhanak jhankaar
ho…nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
ab to lutaa hai bazaar
subko bhula ke nach le
aaja nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
jhanak jhanak jhankaar
ho…nachle nachle mere yaar tu nach le
ab to lutaa hai bazaar
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle chhatt pe bula ke nachle
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle jhatt se utha ke nachle
ho…
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle chhatt pe bula ke nachle
nachle nachle zara nachle nachle jhatt se utha ke nachle
