Meta Description:  Ram Chahe Leela is an item number from the Hindi movie Ram-Leela.  It is performed on screen by Priyanka Chopra. Sing the English translation karaoke style.

The Difficulties in Translating Ram Chahe Leela

I faced two different types of problems when translating this popular Bollywood song.

 

Gujarati Content

 

Two small sections of this song are in Gujarati, a language I am not fluent in. There are bound to be errors. I request the Gujarati readers to send the correct meaning in the Comment section, and I will correct the translation and acknowledge their assistance.

 

Puns

 

The song Ram Chahe Leela is full of puns, and very good ones. Unfortunately, there are different English words for the different meanings of the Hindi word and therefore the pun cannot be translated. These puns form an integral part of the song. I am explaining them in this section.

 

• ·       Chahe: the two meanings of the word are “likes” and “or”.
• ·       Ghoda: the two meanings of the word are “horse” and slang for “pistol”
• ·       Goli: goli means “bullet” and goli dena means con

English Transcreation of the Lyrics of Ram Chahe Leela

Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

The world can just wonder, so striking is their charm

Ho… Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

The world can just wonder, so striking is their charm

Their philosophy of life is simple alright

Love begins with a wink, a bullet starts a fight

 

Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

The world can just wonder, so striking is their charm

They ride their horses with pistols in their palm

They ride their horses with pistols in their palm

Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

The world can just wonder, so striking is their charm

 

Thunderclouds with showery intent

Yearning for Leela’s adornment

Bracelet, nose ring, earring, necklace

Colours enhancing her fairness

Love birds in paradise Ram Leela

With passions on the rise Ram Leela, Ram Leela

 

They had only enemies, no friends it is said

They had only enemies, no friends it is said

The pair were disgraced caught sharing a bed

A peacock on the balcony raised the alarm

Aye.. m..y Ram..

Aye.. Leela Ram..

Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

The world can just wonder, so striking is their charm

 

There’s only one bullet and one target to aim

There’s only one bullet and one target to aim

And each and every bullet has its target’s name

They can dodge the bullets, keep themselves from harm

Ram Leela…

 

Whether Ram wants Leela whether Leela wants Ram

The world can just wonder, so striking is their charm

Give up your solitude start living again

Recluse, your penance has withered your frame

Leela recites only one psalm

Raghupati raghav raja ram
Ramleela ramleela ramleela ram...

 

Ram Leela…..

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Ram Chahe Leela from Ram-Leela

Ram chahe Leela chahe Leela chahe Ram
In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

Inka to funda hai simple sa yaar
Goli maaro to panga, aankh maro to pyar

In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

Shobhe rani rang j goro
Prem pankhida chhe aa Ram Leela
Vantode chadya chhe aa Ram Leela, Ram Leela

Lage saare dushman dikhe sab mein chor
Lage saare dushman dikhe sab mein chor
Meri balcony mein baitha ek mor
Moro ki hai mishtake Ram Leela badnaam
Aye.. mhaara Ram..

I give below a literal translation of the song. It will demonstrate how transcreation increases the vibrancy of the song without losing its essence.

 

 

Ram chahe Leela chahe Leela chahe Ram

Whether Ram desires Leela or Leela desires Ram

In dono ke love mein duniya ka kya kaam

The world has no role in their love story

Inka to funda hai simple sa yaar

Their philosophy is simple

Goli maaro to panga, aankh maro to pyar

If you shoot a bullet it is war, if you wink it is love

 

Rakh pocket mein ghoda de ghode ko lagaam
Keep a pistol in their pocket and ride their horses hard

 

Ghanan ghanan ho megh jo barse
The clouds thunder and rain

 

Leela na shirngar ne tarse
Yearning to see Leela in full adornment

 

Chudlo, nathni, patlo kandoro

Bracelet, nose ring, and other adornments

Shobhe rani rang j goro

The dark colour of her clothes enhance her fairness

Prem pankhida chhe aa Ram Leela

Ram Leela are love birds

Vantode chadya chhe aa Ram Leela, Ram Leela

They are at the height of their passion

Lage saare dushman dikhe sab mein chor

Everyone appears as an enemy and they think everyone is a thief

 

Meri balcony mein baitha ek mor
A peacock was perched on the balcony

 

Moro ki hai mishtake Ram Leela badnaam

The peacocks erred and Ram Leela were disgraced

Bullet bhi hai ek aur ek hi hai jaan
There is only one bullet and only one life

 

Har bullet pe likha marne wale ka naam
Each bullet has the name of the person going to die

 

Goli ko bhi goli de de yeh to kare aisa kaam

They can act in a way to deceive the bullets

Yeh jogi jog muki magan maya maa
O recluse, leave your penance and enjoy the worldly delights

 

Ghelo thai gayo aa shwet kaaya maa

Your pale body has withered

 

Manan kare leela ekaj naam
Leela meditates on only one name

 

Raghupati raghav raja ram
Raghupati Raghav raja ram

English Translation of Ang Laga De Re Lyrics from Ram-Leela

 

Ang Laga De – English Translation of Bollywood Sensual Song

Meta Description:  Ang Laga De Re is a sensual Hindi movie song from Ram-Leela.  The controversial Bollywood film was a Sanjay Bhansali production. Enjoy the English translation.

Setting the Context for Ang Laga De Re

The announcement of the Sanjay Leela Bhansali film sparked a controversy over its name, which was finally settled as Goliyon ki Raasleela Ram-Leela. Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has been perfectly adapted to a rural Gujarati milieu. Ang Laga De Re is played in the background when Ram and Leela are about to consummate their elopement. 

Karaoke English Translation of the Lyrics of Ang Laga De Re 

Take me in your embrace

And put a blush on my face

Take me in your embrace

And put a blush on my face

 

I am but your devotee

Shower me with your grace

Shower me with grace

Inflict me with love’s malaise

I am but your devotee

Shower me with your grace

 

Ram’s name enshrined

Engrossed is my mind

With sandal paste applied

My love thirst is virgin pure

Put a blush on my face

Take me in your embrace

And put a blush on my face

I am but your devotee

Shower me with your grace

 

Night is desolate

Like a black dagger’s blade

I feel your body heat

In my veins pulsate

Please make the fire churn

Then my body will burn

Together set the passions ablaze

Take me in your embrace

I am but your devotee

Shower me with your grace

 

There’s joy in the night

And you are a delight

There’s joy in the night

And you are a delight

I am crazy in love

O! Such is my plight

Enjoy my wanton ways

You are my opiate

Take me to the last phase, take me

Take me to love’s last phase

I am but your devotee

Shower me with your grace

 

Shower me with grace

Inflict me with love’s malaise

I am but your devotee

Shower me with your grace

 

Ram’s name enshrined

Engrossed is my mind

With sandal paste applied

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Ang Laga De Re from Tram-Leela

Ang laga de re
Mohe rang laga de re
Ang laga de re
Mohe rang laga de re

Main to teri joganiya
Tu jog laga de re
Jog laga de re
Prem ka rog laga de re

Tere seene ki lau

Din Dhal Jaae from Guide Translated to English Karaoke Style

 

Din Dhal Jaee – English Translation of Rafi Song from Guide

Meta Description:  Din Dhal Jaae is a Bollywood song from Dev Anand film Guide. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist and Rafi the singer. Sing my English translation karaoke style. 

Setting The Context for Di Dhal Jaae

The film Guide is an adaptation of the eponymous novel by R.K. Narayan. By the time the song plays, Rosie and Raju are already estranged. Raju drowns his sorrows in alcohol, while Rosie is absorbed in her dance performances.

 

The picturisation of the final verse of Din Dhal Jaae is among the most poignant I have ever seen. The fingers of the couple, once passionately in love but now separated, touch accidently. Neither seize the moment to turn the clock back and the opportunity to reconcile slips away. Both hold the other responsible for their fractured relationship and await the other to make the first move.

 

The theme of egos preventing reconciliation is a common thread in Bollywood songs. You might also be interested in my recent English translation of Hazaar Rahein, which explores a similar situation.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Din Dhal Jaae

Days pass by but nights remain unspent

You don’t come your memories torment

Days pass by but nights remain unspent

You don’t come your memories torment

Days pass by

 

For your love I left everyone and suffered disgrace

You have left me and my heart and I share a lonely place

The love that once bloomed is now absent

 

Days pass by but nights remain unspent

You don’t come your memories torment

Days pass by

 

That slight drizzle, droplets falling as light as a feather

Without a care and lost to the world we both were together

Anything to relive again that moment

 

Days pass by but nights remain unspent

You don’t come your memories torment

Days pass by

 

You’re in my heart but tangibly you are very far

I trouble you, my heart troubles me, what a misfit we are

Who’s ego will be first to relent

 

Days pass by but nights remain unspent

You don’t come your memories torment

Days pass by

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Din Dhal Jaae from Guide

Din dhal jaae, haay raat na jaae    

Tu to n ae, teri yaad sataae       

Din dhal jaae, haay raat na jaae    

Tu to n ae, teri yaad sataae       

Din dhal jaae

 

Pyaar men jinake sab jag chhoda aur hue badanaam

Unake hi haatho haal hua ye, baithhe hain dil ko thaam

Apane kabhi the, ab hain paraae  

 

Din dhal jaae, haay raat na jaae    

Tu to n ae, teri yaad sataae       

Din dhal jaae

 

Aisi hi rimajhim, aisi fuhaaren, aisi hi thi barasaat

Khud se juda aur jag se paraae, ham donon the saath

Fir se wo saawan ab kyon n ae?    

 

Din dhal jaae, haay raat na jaae    

Tu to n ae, teri yaad sataae       

Din dhal jaae

 

Dil ke mere paas ho itani, fir bhi ho kitani dur

Tum mujhase, main dil se pareshaan, donon hain majabur

Aise men kis ko kaun manaae?  

 

Din dhal jaae, haay raat na jaae    

Tu to n ae, teri yaad sataae       

Din dhal jaae

O Haseena Zulfonwali Item Song Lyrics Translated in English

 O Haseena Zulfonwali – English Translation of Best Item Song

Meta Description:  O Haseena Zulfonwali is an item number from the blockbuster Teesri Manzil. The hot pair Shammi Kapoor and Helen are on screen. Check the English translation.

The Context for the Item Song O Haseena Zulfonwali

O Haseena Zulfonwali stands out as one of the earliest grand item numbers, though back then such performances were known as cabarets. Featured in the film Teesri Manzil (1966), this number was part of an incredibly successful soundtrack that launched the young composer Rahul Dev Burman into the limelight. Like many blockbuster films, Teesri Manzil was surrounded by rumours and controversies, including the notable change in the male lead: Dev Anand was originally cast but was replaced by Shammi Kapoor after a falling out with the producer.

 

O Haseena Zulfonwali showcases a cabaret performance set in a nightclub, where the male dancer portrays a charming Casanova and the female dancer embodies a captivating femme fatale. The lively, flirtatious banter between the two characters has been translated effectively into English, retaining its original allure and excitement.

The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of O Haseena Zulfonwali 

Rafi:

Hi beautiful with long tresses of widespread fame

Unfaithful eyes are hunting down what sort of game

Hi beautiful with long tresses of widespread fame

Unfaithful eyes are hunting down what sort of game

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

 

Asha:

Unknown stranger if I can find

A casual fling who would not mind

Has scorched women and is hiding

I search for a moth of that kind

 

Asha:

It’s hot, and sharp, the fire from my eyes

Rafi:

I will dowse it with my cold pleasant sighs

Asha:

Somewhere, some time, we will meet at some place

Rafi:

I am romance, you’ll never find me in one place

Asha:

I too am the shadows of the street, sometimes here and sometimes there

When the sun is down then the magic of my charm will flare.

 

Rafi:

Hi beautiful with long tresses of widespread fame

Unfaithful eyes are hunting down what sort of game

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

 

Asha:

Unknown stranger if I can find

A casual fling who would not mind

Has scorched women and is hiding

I search for a moth of that kind

 

Asha:

You’re hiding, what’s happened, where is your flair

Rafi:

Forget me, you’re looking different today, I swear

Asha:

It is true, I have stepped up my oomph for the night

Rafi:

You have transformed yourself into a playboy’s delight

Asha:

I too am the shadows of the street, sometimes here and sometimes there

When the sun is down then the magic of my charm will flare.

 

Rafi:

Hi beautiful with long tresses of widespread fame

Unfaithful eyes are hunting down what sort of game

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

 

Asha:

Unknown stranger if I can find

A casual fling who would not mind

Has scorched women and is hiding

I search for a moth of that kind

 

Asha:

Wait a while, my dear, tell me what is your name

Rafi:

I am truly faithful, though some call me infame

Asha:

Got me hooked, then you leave, that’s not loyalty

Rafi:

My beauty, I’ve been floored by your coquetry

Asha:

I too am the shadows of the street, sometimes here and sometimes there

When the sun is down then the magic of my charm will flare.

 

Rafi:

Hi beautiful with long tresses of widespread fame

Unfaithful eyes are hunting down what sort of game

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

Party hopping from club to club like a hot flame

 

Asha:

Unknown stranger if I can find

A casual fling who would not mind

Has scorched women and is hiding

I search for a moth of that kind
