Zinda – Translation of Olympics Inspiring Award Winning
Song
Meta Description: Zinda is a Bollywood hit song from Bhaag
Milkha Bhaag based on the Indian athlete who made history in the 1960 Rome
Olympics. With the 2024 Paris Olympics in progress, this is a fitting time to
release the English translation. The song won the Best Lyrics at Filmfare
Awards 2014.
Zinda Wins Best Lyrica
Award at Filmfare Awards 2014
The poet and advertising maestro Prasoon Joshi crafted the lyrics for Zinda, which won the Best Lyrics award at the 2014 Filmfare Awards. The song's powerful beat sets an invigorating tempo, ideal for energizing athletes as they strive for victory, and is expected to inspire the Indian contingent at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Unlike traditional Hindi film lyrics, which follow a consistent meter and rhyme scheme throughout, contemporary lyricists frequently experiment with varied structures within the same song. This innovation can make translating the lyrics into English more complex.
The English Translation of the Lyrics of Zinda
Fill your… cup to… the brim… that is a must
Shatter… the glass…marble…crush it to dust
Elixir of life in your cup
Then in one breath its bottoms up
Why play on in bits and pieces
Its all or bust
Do you know why coal is black
Deep in the earth it’s stacked
But in spite of its dark attire
It has a heart of fire
Do you know why coal is black
Deep in the earth it’s stacked
But in spite of its dark attire
It has a heart of fire
Fill your… cup to… the brim… that is a must
Shatter… the glass…marble…crush it to dust
Shatter… the glass…marble…crush it to dust
Why are your dreams stuck to your feet
Untie the strings and set them free
Step ahead and do not retreat
Ride the tide to your destiny
Don’t worry about the blistered skin
On your palm the flame you hold
Take a few punches on the chin
That is how you go for gold
Fill your… cup to… the brim… that you must
Shatter… the glass…marble…crush it to dust
Elixir of life in your cup
Then in one breath its bottoms up
Why play on in bits and pieces
Its all or bust
Do you know why coal is black
Deep in the earth it’s stacked
But despite its dark attire
The coal has a heart of fire
Do you know why coal is black
Deep in the earth it’s stacked
But despite its dark attire
The coal has a heart of fire
The Original Hindi Lyrics of Zinda from Bhaag
Milkha Bhaag
Zinda, hain toh,
pyala, poora bhar le
Kancha, phoote, choora, kaanch kar le
Zindagi ka ye ghada le
Ek saans mein chadha le
Hichkiyon mein kya hai marna
Poora mar ley..
Koyla kaala hai
Chattanon ne paala hai
Andar kaala, baahar kaala
Par saccha hai saala
Koyla kaala hai
Chattanon ne paala hai
Andar kaala, baahar kaala
Par saccha hai saala...
Zinda, hai toh, pyala,
poora bhar le
Kancha, phoote, choora, kaanch kar le
Kancha, phoote, choora, kaanch kar le
Uljhe kyun pairon mein
ye khwaab
Kadmon se resham kheench de
Peeche kuch na aage ka hisaab
Iss pal ki kyaari seench de
Aag zubaan pe rakh de
Phir chot ke hoth bhigaayenge
Ghaav gungunayenge
Tere dard geet bann jaayenge
Zinda, hai toh, pyala,
poora bhar le
Kancha, phoote, choora, kaanch kar le
Zindagi ka ye ghada le
Ek saans mein chadha le
Hichkiyon mein kya hai marna!
Poora mar le...
Koyla kaala hai
Chattanon ne paala hai
Andar kaala, baahar kaala
Par saccha hai saala
Koyla kaala hai
Chattanon ne paala hai
Andar kaala, baahar kaala
Par saccha hai saala
