Mitwa Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Lagaan
–MALE 1–
Har sant kahe, saadhu kahe
Every saint and sage says
Sach aur saahas hai jiske mann mein
Whoever has truth and bravery in mind
Ant mein jeet usiki rahe
They will ultimately be victorious
–MALE 2–
Aaja re aaja re, aaja re aaja re
Come, oh come, oh come, oh come
Bhale kitne lambe ho raste, ho
However long the path is
Thake na tera yeh tan, ho
May your body not become tired
Aaja re aaja re, sun le pukaare dagariya
Come, oh come, listen, the paths are calling
Rahe na yeh raste taraste, ho, tu aaja re
May these paths not stay thirsty, oh come
Is dharti ka hai raja tu, yeh baat jaan le tu
You are the king of this earth, understand this
Kathinaayi se takraa ja tu, nahin haar maan le tu
Clash against difficulties, don’t accept defeat
Mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
Loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
Yeh dharti apni hai, apna ambar hai re
This earth is ours, ours is the sky
O mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
O loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
Dharti apni hai, apna ambar hai re
This earth is ours, ours is the sky
Tu aaja re
Oh you come
–FEMALE–
Sun lo re mitwa
Please listen, oh loved one
Jo hai tumre mann mein, vohi hamre mann mein
That what is in your mind, is in our mind
Jo sapna hai tumra, sapna vohi hamra hai
Those dreams that are yours, are ours
Jeevan mein
In life
–MALE 2–
Haan, chale hum liye aasa ke diye nayanan mein
Let’s walk carrying hope’s light in our eyes
Diye hamri aasaaon ke kabhi bujh na paaye
These lights of hope cannot be extinguished
–FEMALE–
Kabhi aandhiyaan jo aake inko bujhaaye
Even if storms come and try to extinguish them
–MALE 2–
O mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
O loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
Yeh dharti apni hai, apna ambar hai re
This earth is ours, ours is the sky
O mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
O loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
Dharti apni hai, apna ambar hai re
This earth is ours, ours is the sky
Tu aaja re
Oh you come
–FEMALE–
(Ta na, ta na na na, ta na na na na na
Ta na, ta na na na, ta na na na na
Ta na, ta na na na, ta na na na na na, aaja re) – 2
–MALE 2–
Sun lo re mitwa
Please listen, oh loved one
Purwa bhi gaayegi, masti bhi chhaayegi
Wind will come singing, mischief will even be cast
Milke pukaaro to
If we meet and call out
Phoolon waali jo rut hai, aayegi
The season of flowers will arrive
–FEMALE–
Haan, sukh bhare din, dukh ke bin laayegi
It will bring days of prosperity, without any pain
Hum tum sajaaye aao, rangon ke mele
Come, let’s decorate the parade of colors
–MALE 2–
Rehte ho bolo kaahe tum yun akele
Tell us, why do you remain alone like this?
Mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
Loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
Yeh dharti apni hai, apna ambar hai re
This earth is ours, ours is the sky
–MALE 3–
O mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
Loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
Yeh dharti apni hai, apna ambar hai re

Tu aaja re
Oh, you come
–MALE 1–
Har sant kahe, saadhu kahe
Every saint and sage says
Sach aur saahas hai jiske mann mein
Whoever has truth and bravery in mind
Ant mein jeet usiki rahe
They will ultimately be victorious

O mitwa, sun mitwa, tujhko kya darr hai re
Loved one, listen loved one, what fear do you have?
