Balam Bada Nadaan Song Lyrics in English
Balam bada naadaan, re balam bada naadaan
Bedadri sang naata laaga
Mere preet ka bhaag na jaaga
Binati karoon main, painya padoon main
Ab to meri maan re
Balam bada naadaan re …
Bainya pakadoon haath dabaaoon
Samajhat naahi kaise samjhaaoon
Laakh jatan kar, haar gayi main
Rogi ho gayi jaan re
Balam bada naadaan re …
Balam Bada Nadaan Hindi Song Lyrics Translation
बलम बादा नदानदेन, रे बलम बादा नदानदेन
Bedadri Sang Naata Laaga
मेरे प्रीते का भग ना जगा
बिनती करून मुख्य, दर्दनाक पदून मुख्य
एबी से मेरी मन रे
बलम बादा नदानदेन फिर से …
Bainya Pakadoon Haath Dabaoon
समाज नाही काइज़ समज्नाओन
लाख जतन कर, हार गायी मुख्य
रोगी हो गेई जान रे
बलम बादा नदानदेन फिर से …
About the movie – Albela (1951)
Day-dreamer and Artist, Pyarelal, lives a poor lifestyle in Bombay with his retired dad; housewife mom; married brother, Mohan and his wife, Malti; and unmarried sister, Vimla. It is now time for Vimla to get married, her dad has saved a thousand Rupees, while Mohan has made arrangements for six hundred more, and Pyarelal is asked to arrange for four hundred. Instead Pyarelal brings home one hundred rupees, informing his family that he has been fired from his job, and will be unable to raise any more money. An argument ensues, and Pyarelal is asked to leave. He leaves, swearing only to return when he is a famous and wealthy man. He meets with pretty actress, Asha, both fall in love with each other, and he starts acting in the theater, and achieves quick success. He starts sending money and gifts home to his parents, and hopes that they will be pleased with his success. Then one day when he feels that he has achieved his success, he returns home – only to find out that the money and gifts he has been sending home are missing; his mom has passed away; his dad and sister are missing, believed to be begging in the streets; his sister’s marriage has been canceled; his brother cannot support himself; and his sister-in-law, has a dark deep secret that she cannot tell anyone.
