Doli Mein Bithai Ke Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Amar Prem
ho raama re ho raama
Oh Lord Ram!
doli mein bithaayi ke kahaar…
Having settled me in the wedding palanquin, the bearer
laaye mohe sanjana ke dwaar
carried me on behalf of my beloved,
doli mein bithaayi ke kahaar
having settled me in the wedding palanquin.
bite din khushiyon ke chaar deke dukh man ko hazaar
I passed a few days of joy for a thousand days of sorrow.
doli mein bithaayi ke kahaar
Having settled me in the wedding palanquin…
marke nikalna tha…
Dying, I had to emerge…
ghar se saavariyaa ke jite ji nikalna para
Living, I had to depart my beloved’s house.
phuulon jaise paanvon mein par gaye ye chhaale re
Blisters formed on feet like flowers
kaanton pe jo chalna para
when they had to walk on thorns.
patjhar ban gayi patjhar ban gayi patjhar bairan bahaar
It became autumn, it became autumn…
jitne hain aansuu meri…
As many tears as were in my eyes…
ankhiyon mein utna nadiya mein naahin re nir
there isn’t that much water in the river.
likhnewaale tu ne likh di yeh kaisi meri
Such were the things you wrote to me,
tuuti nayya jaisi taqdir
they seemed to shatter my fate.
utha maanmjhi maanmjhi utha maanmjhi o maanmjhi re utha maanmjhi
Done with intermediaries…
uthe patvaar
the debt between us was dismissed. (?)
tuuta pahale mere man o tuuta pahale man ab
My heart was broken, is broken now;
chhuriyaan tuutin ye saare sapne yuun chhur
my bangles splintered, just like all these dreams, into pieces;
kaisa huwa dhokha aaya pavan ka jhonka
Such was the betrayal, a gust of wind came
mit gaya mera sinduur
and erased the vermilion from the parting of my hair.
lut gaye o raama lut gaye o raama mere lut gaye solah shringaar
I was robbed, Lord Ram, robbed of the sixteen ornaments [of traditional beauty].
