Another version of this song has been translated on another page zlyr1.htm. Mohra disc is reviewed on the DVD review page.The version on this page is done by Raveena alone and is seen only on the DVD . Its very well picturised and there is a repeat function on the disc so you can watch it again and again . Raveena has been injected with a drug by bad guy Naseerudin which makes her feel passionate towards him , and she is warning him at the same time
Mein cheez badi hoon mast mast (mast = flighty , enchantress , flirty)
I am a flighty flirty thing
Nahin mujko koi hosh hosh ( hosh=awareness) , us par yovan ka josh josh (yovan=youth, josh=passion)
Not aware of what I am doing , on top of that I have the hormones of youth
nahin mera koi dosh dosh(fault) , madhosh hun mein har waqt waqt ( waq=time)
Its not my fault , I am intoxicated all the time ..rpt
Ankhoin mein chaya hai ye kasai mohra (mohra = rubber stamp) ?
What kind of stamp has been put on my eyes ?
Kaun hai badshah , kaun hai mohra ( mohra=pawn )
Who is the King here , who is the pawn?
Jane tra kya naam naam ? -rpt
Who knows what is your name ?
Naam say kya kaam kaam ? Kar jam ka bandobast ! mein cheez..
What does one have to do with the name ? Make ready for the party !
The she warns him
Rakh yaad magar tu mere deewane , tera kya hog anjam tu na jane
Remember this oh man mad on me , you have no idea what is going to happen to you if you do this .
Dil kai toote baar baar , sub ashiq dube aar par
Hearts have been broken time after time , many lovers have drowned themselves around here
Shahon ke choote yaar yaar , pyaar me hai takht takht
Even the kings lamented afterwards saying 'oh . oh' , love is a hard thing .
Title song
Chat par kala kauva bhata , kayen kayen karta rehta
A black crow is sitting on the roof , kau kau he keeps crowing
Sab se bole , jhoot bole kauva kate
Saying to all , speak lies and I will crow kau kau ( cut you)
Ek thi ladki , ek tha laka , dono ka dil sath mein dadka
Once there was a girl , a boy , both their hearts beat in unison
Dil ke andhar shola badhka , bas aage ham nahin kahte
In their heart a fire ( smouldering coal) started, wont tell you any more
And at the end of the movie
Prem kahani , rani raja , khoola hua hai har darwaza
Love story , queen king , every door is now open
yaar pukare aaja aaja , ham ne kaha ham nahin aate
friend says come , come , we say no we are not coming
Another song from the same movie -taken from Rmim
There is one song which doesnt need any translation , because it is sung in English and in fact should never be translated back into Hindi ! . It goes like this (letters to be said out aloud individually) Please be M, I, N, E - mine , because I shall L, O , V , E - love you all the T, I , M , E - time ; Like a L, A , R , K in the P, A, R, K park , I shall K, I , S, S -kiss you in the D, A , R, K - dark ! Another song which is quite funny is with the hero , heroine and two male friends in the jungle setting wondering how to tell the fearsome father of their love Aata hai , chawal hai , daal hai , bhook hai , choola nahin Chrous- Badi mushkil hai ! We have flour , we have rice , we have lentils , we have hunger but no open oven Oh what difficulty are we in !! Badal hai , barkah hai , bijli hai , sawan hai , jhoola nahin Badi mushkil hai ! There are clouds , wind , lightening , spring but we have no swing . Oh what difficulty.. Hum dono hain faryadi , mil jati agar azaadi Chori chupe na milte , kar lete aaj hi shadi We are willing , had we been independent We wouldnt meet in secret , we would have got wed today Ladka hai , ladki hai , dulha hai , dulhan hai , pandit nahin Badi mushkil hai The girl is here , the male is here , the bride is here , the bridegroom is here , the priest is not . Oh what difficulty are we in !! Ladka ladki na hote , tum murga murghi hote Jab chahen tum milte , jahan chaen tum sote Boy , girl had you not been , had you been cock and hen Whenever you wanted you could have met , wherever you wanted you could have slept ! Pehra hai , parda hai , parde mein jalwa hai , halwa nahin Badi mushkil hai ! There is a guard , you have the veil and behind it the bride , but there are no sweetmeats. Oh what difficulty !! female-Us jese ja baand kar sehra aaja (indicating a passing bridegroom) , ban ja tu mera dulhe raja Go get a headdress like that and tie it and come dressed as my bridegroom . Male-jungle hai , sher hai , cheeta hai , bhaloo hai , ghora nahin ; badi mushkil hai There is jungle , there is a lion , there is a tiger , there is a bear but there is no horse for me to ride to the wedding - oh what difficulty !! friends -hai khub tumahari jodi , tum dono chand chakori kahin dekhi nahin hamne aesi love story You suit each other like the moon and its light , but we have never heard a pitiful love story like yours ! hero hai , heroine hai , villain hai , shooting hai ,camera nahin , badi mushkil hai the hero is here , the heroine is here , the villain is here , and we are ready to shoot but we have no camera Oh what difficulty are we in !! friend-thodisee main peekar tere baap ko samjaoon Par darta hun kahin raste mein pakra na jaoon let me take a drink and go talk to your dad but I am afraid I might get caught in the way for .. Whiskey hai m soda hai , pani hai , pyaas hai per permit nahin , badi mushkil hai ! We have whisky , soda , water , thirst but no permit to drink it . Oh what difficulty are we in !! Well it is quite comical ! It proves once you see the song and follow the literal translation that it can be a lot more fun watching these movies . I think volunteers on RMIM could do one a month each and correct the ones done to get these transferred..
Tera Rang Bale Bale -Sonu Nigam and Jaspinder Nirula-requested by Joyce from Holland
Male - Tera rang bale bale , teri chaal bale bale , tera roop bale bale , teri gal bale bale
Your color is remarkable (bale) , your walk remarkable , your appearance remarkable , your cheeks remarkable
dekha tooje to mujhe pyar ho gaya , tere khyalon mein dil kho gaye
Seeing you , I fell in love with you , my heart is lost in thoughts of you
Female- Nainyo , nainyo , manu dil tera nainyo chahida
No, no , I dont want your heart !
Ik tuhi mere naal nahiyon jachda
You are the only one (male) who doesnt look good next to me !
M- Dol jani , mere paas aa teri mehrbani
One who walks with a sway , please come next to me
F- Jhoot bolda , neeyat mein hai teri baimani
You speak lies , your intentions are to betray
M- Kurti meri cheet di , dupta tera lehrya
My pants are white , your scarf is swaying
Hindustani rani banja , raja ki tu doriya
Indian princess become a queen of this king
F- Main kuddi Punjab di , mera resham da rumal weh
I am a girl of Punjab , my hankie is of silk
Zindagi bar nahin pulega kardoongi tera au hal weh
For a lifetime you wont forget , I will make your condition so sorry
M-nainyon tere bin dil nainyon lagda
No , my heart is not content without you
Tuje dekhde hi dil mera nachda
Just seeing you makes my heart dance
F- Na dekh chale chale , dil wekh chale chale , mujhe chodh chale chale , na chaed chale chale
Dont look at me simpleton , look after your own heart , go away from me , dont tease me
Aakar deewana dildar ho gaya ,isko sambalo yeh bekaar ho gaya
He was mad and has become infatuated with me , support him -he is now of no use to anyone
M- Mera yaar bale bale , dildar bale bale , inkaar bale bale bale , ikraar bale bale
My friend you are remarkable , my love ., you refuse with style , you admit with style
Dekha tujhe ..Seeing you I fell in love
F- Nainyo ..I dont want your heart
