Kaipoche Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
ae dhil de dhil de re bhaiyya…
Give me some slack, bro! [This song takes place during a kite-flying contest]
us patang ko dhil de jaise hi masti mein aaye
Give the kite some slack, let it kick up its heels!
are jaise hi masti mein aaye us patang ko dhil de
Hey, let it kick up its heels, cut the kite some slack!
dhil de dhil de re bhaiyya
Give me some slack, bro!
tez tez tez hai maanjha apna tez hai…
The paste on our kite-string is sharp! [paste is applied to toughen the string]
ungli kat sakti hai baapuu…
It can cut your finger, old man…
to patang kya chiz hai
What a (marvelous) thing is a kite!
dhil de dhil de re bhaiyya…
Give me some slack, bro!…
us patang ko dhil de jaise hi masti mein aaye
Give the kite some slack, let it kick up its heels!
jaise hi masti mein aaye us patang ko khinch de
Hey, now just as if it were drunk, reel it in!
dhil de dhil de re bhaiyya
Give me some slack, bro!
ae la.mbe teri patang to ga’i kaam se
Hey Mr. Bigshot, your kite’s useless now!
kaise kati udi thi shaan se
How it got cut! It flew splendidly! [sarcasm]
chal sanak ab khisak teri nahin thi voh patang
Move it, you crazy, get a move on, the kite wasn’t really yours,
voh to ga’i kisi ke sang sang
it went off with someone else.
gam na kar ghuma tu phir se ghar ghar
Don’t despair; send it up again!
aasmaan hai tera pyaar hausala buland kar
The sky is your love; set your ambitions high!
gam nahin hai aankhon mein na maanjhe ki pakad hai
There’s no sadness in his eyes, nor is the kite-string caught;
tan ye kaise baandhte hain isko kya khabar hai
What does this one know of how they’re strung together?
lada le pech fir se tu hone de jang
Take up the contest again, let there be war!
nazar sada ho uunchi sikhaati hai patang
May your gaze always be uplifted — so the kite teaches!
sikhaati hai patang
So the kite teaches!
dhil de dhil de re bhaiyya…
Give me some slack, bro!
us patang ko dhil de jaise hi masti mein aaye
Give the kite some slack, let it kick up its heels!
us patang ko khinch de
Reel that kite in!
dhil de dhil de re bhaiyya…
Give me some slack, bro!
