(Cheers!) Baila! Dance!) Jai Ho! ^n Chakh le, haan chakh le, yeh raat shehed hai Chakh le, haan rakh le, Dil hai, dil aakhri hadd hai Kaala kaala kaajal tera Koi kaala jaadu hai na?
Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley Jai Ho! ^ n Kab se haan kab se jo lab pe ruki hai Keh de, keh de, haan keh de Ab aankh jhuki hai Aisi aisi roshan aankhein Roshan dono heerey (?) hain kya? Aaja aaja jind shamiyaane ke taley Aaja zari waale neele aasmaane ke taley Jai Ho!
^ n So this is my good deed of the day. The Rahman/Gulzar/Sukhwinder combination delivers again. Was frankly disappointed with Yuvvraaj lyrics; Tu hi to meri dost hai sounds like Gulzar sahib on an exceptionally bad day. Have bugged all the music shops in Bangalore asking them when the SM soundtrack is coming. Apparently it's being imported via a Mr Godot.
Update: Thanks JpnDude for the Spanish section! Below is a loose English translation that murders the original Hindi. Apologies to Gulzar Sahib. Hope to post a link here when I find a good translation online. Jai Ho =Something between “Hail” and “Hallelujah” Come, come my Life, under the canopy Come under the blue brocade sky! Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith I’ve passed this night dancing on coals I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes I counted the stars till my finger burned Come, come my Life, under the canopy Come under the blue brocade sky!
Taste it, taste it, this night is honey Taste it, and keep it, It’s a heart; the heart is the final limit You dark black kohl It’s some black magic, isn’t it? Come, come my Life, under the canopy Come under the blue brocade sky!
For how long, how very long It’s been on your lips Say it, now say it The eye is downcast Such lit up eyes Are they two lit-up dimaonds(?)? Come, come my Life, under the canopy Come under the blue brocade sky! A little observation, that I thought I would shares. It is only on my last watching of the movie did I understand why the lyrics begin with 'Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiya ke tale.' Its to do with the main characters (Jamals) first words, as a child to Latika.
The setting is that it is raining and he calls her into the shack/tent. There are many little nice things in the movie. Towards the end, a random woman again invites the grown up Latika in (this time to watch TV.) again with 'Aaja, Aaja'. Again, this is a repeat of the motif. And finally, the end credits have this song. Should you see this movie, there are many little touches which are very nice.
