English Translation of Tilasmi Bahein from Heeramandi

 

English Translation of Tilasmi Bahein from Heeramandi

Meta Description: Bollywood Translations features the item number Tilasmi Bahein from Heeramandi. The English translation preserves the tenor and the meaning of the song. Enjoy the official video from Netflix.  

The Meaning of Tilasmi Bahein in English

Translating Tilasmi Bahein into English required a degree of alertness. The Heeramandi song is an out and out Bollywood item number, and therefore seems out of place in the aristocratic period milieu of the Netflix movie. Actor Sonakshi Sinha oozes oomph in several Hindi film item songs and it is no different in Tilasmi Bahein. For the record, the provocative lyrics of Tilasmi Bahein are by Am Turaz and the sensuous singer is Sharmistha Chatterjee.

 

The word tilasmi literally translates as magical, but in this Heeramandi song the use of enticing is more appropriate. I have maintained the fast-paced tempo created by Sanjay Leela Bhansali through the use of short phrases. Am Turaz has exhibited grace in describing sexual desire through use of idiomatic language. Since literal translation does not work with this, you will find my translation giving more direct expression.

 

The Original Lyrics of Tilasmi Bahein


Tilasmi Bahein Thame Katoon Main Dil Ki Shaamein

Bhar De Aa Chand Ki Chandi Sone Jaise Tan Mein Laake

 

Khaiya Khaiya Khaiya
Haan Kasme Khaiya Khaiya Khaiya

Haan Kasme Khaiya Khaiya Khaiya

Chalka Jaaye Jism Se Makhmali Nasha
Karde Khali Pi Pi Ke Pyala Ye Bhara

Katra Katra Mera Bekabu Ho Raha

Teri Ijazat Bina Dil Mera Tere Dil Mein Jhaake

Khaiya Khaiya Khaiya

Haan Kasme Khaiya Khaiya

Haan Kasme...

 

The Bollywood Translation of Tilasmi Bahein in English

Enticing Arms

 

Entwined in enticing arms I indulge in risqué delight

Cover my golden body now with silvery moonlight

Give me your word Promise me

You will fulfil my every desire

 

I am filled to the brim with velvety intoxication

Every pore in my body oozes unbound passion

Drink to the lees and drain my cups of vigour tonight

I will sate my lust even if you don’t think it’s right

Give me your word Promise me

You will fulfil my every desire
