Ye Des Pardes Song Lyrics in English
Des pardes
(Are khushiya yahi pe milegi hame re
Apna hai apna ye des pardes) – (2)
Vahi purane hai
Vahi purane hai sare phasane naya hai lekin jaha
Are raste naye hai ye manzil nai hai
Lekin vahi aasman
Sapna hai sapna apna hai apna
Ye des pardes
Akela nahi hu mai
Akela nahi hu mai tere bina saga mere teri yaad hai
Are milkar khile phul hara raga ke basa yahi meri phariyad hai
Tera na mera apna hai apna
Ye des pardes
Khushiya yahi pe milegi hame re
Apna hai apna ye des pardes
Ye des pardes
Ye Des Pardes Hindi Song Lyrics Translation
डेस परर्डेस
(होशिया यायी पे Milegi Hame re
अपना है अपना आप डेस पर्डेस) – (2)
वैही पुराण है
वैही पुराण है सागर फसाने नया है लेकिन जोहा
Raste Naye Hai Ye Manzil Nai Hai हैं
लेकिन वैही आसमान
सपना है सपना तना है अपना
तुम डेस परदे
अक्ला नही हू माई
अक्ला नाही हू माई तेरे बीना सागा मेरे तेरी याद है
मिलर खाइल फुल हारा रागा के बसना यायी मेरी फारिय्याद है
तेरा ना मेरा अपना ताना ताना
तुम डेस परदे
खुशिया याही पे Milegi Hame re
तना है अपना आप डेस परदे
तुम डेस परदे
About the movie – Des Pardes
This film takes a serious look at the lives of Westernized Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in North America (Whereas Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was about NRIs with Indian hearts, Pardes is about Westernized NRIs.) and hence the meaning of the title – “foreign land”. Kishorilal is a successful businessman settled in America but still emotionally attached to his motherland – India. So the pardesi comes to India with his “American” son Rajiv to find a suitable ‘”Indian” girl for him. Kishorilal hopes his soon-to-be daughter in law will instill some Indian values in his extremely westernized son. He finds his daughter in law in Kusum Ganga (a pet Subhash Ghai name just as Chandni was Yash Chopra’s favorite for a long time) in the house of his childhood friend Suraj Dev. Mahima Chaudhary makes her debut as Ganga. To finalize the marriage he sends his son along with his foster son Arjun to India. Arjun plays Cupid and returns to America with Kusum and Rajiv. Arjun comes into the movie to get the American-boy to accept Indian values, and support the Indian-girl to accept American vices. The reverse does not fit into this movie. Arjun is portrayed as an Indian at heart and the hero of the film! All is hunky-dory till the true Bharatiya Nari finds out that her future husband is not a teetotaler. So, the heartbroken Kusum returns to India. Don’t conclude that it is the end of the Bollywood fairy tale. It is just the beginning as Arjun falls in love with his would-have-been bhabhi while playing Cupid and leads to a love triangle.
