Apna Time Aayega Wins the
Best Lyrics at Filmfare Awards 2020
Rap songs have been in Bollywood movies since the time of Baba Sehgal in the mid 1990s but these have been few and far between. It is only since about 2015 that rap songs have come to stay in Hindi films, culminating in the pinnacle of Gully Boy, the rags to riches story of a rapper. The uniqueness of being a rap song and that the lyrics are in Mumbai street Hindi (rather than Punjabi or Hindustani) have contributed to Apna Time Aayega winning the Best Lyrics Filmfare Award 2020.
The Rap English Translation of the Lyrics of Apna Time Aayega
Who says it can’t be
done
Who says, who says
My time will come
Rise up from your
ashes
Go find your goal in
life
The skies will admire
you
When you soar to the
sun
Will come, my time
will come
I am a street smart
kid
You won’t find a
better chum
The fire in my words
Will win me my freedom
You’ll reap what
you’ve sown
This is life’s true
lesson
Fear itself will back
off
When it meets my
passion
My dreams are alive
now
How will you bury them
I will make a fresh start
Without fear in my
heart
I will ride every path
I’ll succeed anyhow
Through the sweat of
my brow
New meaning in life
now
Why?
Because my time will
come
You came empty-handed
Won’t take a king’s
ransom
No godfather was
backing me
I have reached here
with no freebie
I will not call myself
lucky
Noone’s shown me any
mercy
With providence I
don’t agree
Why is this a mystery
Willpower is a
necessity and some audacity
Some tenacity, some
calamity, some bravery, some divinity
What matters is
proclivity
The only wealth is
intimacy
Winning propensity
I have no desire for
popularity
There is no one as
tough as me
Tough, tough, tough,
tough…
This has led to
prosperity
Why?
Because my time will
come
You came empty-handed
Won’t take a king’s
ransom
You came empty-handed
Won’t take a king’s
ransom
My time will come
My time will come
My time will come
Leave naked when
you’re done
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Apna Time Aayega from Gully Boy
Kaun bola mujhse na ho
payega?
Kaun bola, Kaun bola?
Apna Time Aayega!
Uth ja apni raakh se
Tu uth ja ab talaash mein
Parwaaz dekh parwaane ki
Aasmaan bhi sar uthayega
Aayega, apna time aayega
Mere jaisa shaana lala
Tujhe na mil paayega
Ye shabdo ka jwaala
Meri bediyan pighlaayega
Jitna tune boya hai
Tu utna hi toh khaayega
Aisa mera khwaab hai
Jo dar ko bhi sataayega
Zinda mera khwab
Ab kaise tu dafnayega
Ab hausle se jeene de
Ab khauf nahi hai seene mein
Har raaste ko cheerenge
Hum kaamyabi cheenenge
Sab kuch mila paseene se
Matlab bana ab jeene mein
Kyun?
Kyunki apna time aayega
Tu nanga hi toh aaya hai
Kya ghanta lekar jaayega
Kisi ka haath nahi tha
sar par
Yahan par aaya khudki mehnat se main
Jitni taakat kismat mein nahi
Utni rehmat mein hai
Phir bhi ladka sehmat nahi hai
Kyunki hairat nahi hai
Zaroorat yahan marzi ki aur jurrat ki hai
Taakat ki hai, aafat ki, himaakat ki, Ibadat ki
Adaalat yeh hai
chaahat ki
Mohabbat ki, amaanat ki
Jeetne ki ab aadat ki
Yeh shohrat ki, ab laalach nahi hai
Tere bhai jaisa koi hard’ich nahi hai
Hard, hard, hard, hard…
Iss harkat ne hi barkat di hai
Kyun?
Kyunki apna time
aayega
Tu nanga hi toh aaya hai
Kya ghanta lekar jaayega
Kal nanga hi toh aaya tha
Kya tu ghanta lekar jaayega
Apna time aayega!
Apna time aayega!
Apna time aayega na
Tu nanga hi toh jayega na…
