Radha Kaise Na Jale Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Lagaan
–FEMALE–
Madhuban mein jo Kanhaiya kisi gopi se mile
In the honeygarden, when Krishna meets a gopi
Kabhi muskaaye, kabhi chhede, kabhi baat kare
He sometimes smiles, sometimes teases, sometimes talks
Radha kaise na jale, Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
Aag tan mann mein lage
Fire burns in her body and mind
Radha kaise na jale, Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
–MALE–
Madhuban mein bhale Kaanha kisi gopi se mile
In the honeygarden, even if Krishna meets a gopi
Mann mein to Radha ke hi prem ke hain phool khile
In his mind, only the flowers of Radha’s love bloom
Kis liye Radha jale, kis liye Radha jale
Why should Radha be jealous?
Bina soche samjhe
Without thinking, without understanding
Kis liye Radha jale, kis liye Radha jale
Why should Radha be jealous?
(O, gopiyaan taarein hain, chaand hai Radha
The gopis are the stars, Radha is the moon
Phir kyoon hai usko biswaas aadha) – 2
Then why does she not give full trust?
–FEMALE–
Kaanhaji ka jo sadaa idhar udhar dhyaan rahe
If Krishna’s attention is always wandering from here to there
Radha bechaari ko phir apne pe kya maan rahe
What would poor Radha think about herself?
–MALE–
Gopiyaan aani jaani hain, Radha to mann ki rani hai – 2
Gopis will come and go, Radha is this heart’s queen
Saanjh sakhaare, Jamna kinaare
From dusk until dawn, on Jamuna’s banks
Radha Radha hi Kaanha pukaare
Krishna only calls for Radha
–FEMALE–
Oye hoye, oye hoye
Baahon ke haar jo daale koi Kaanha ke gale
When someone puts her garland of arms around Krishna’s neck
Radha kaise na jale, Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
Aag tan mann mein lage
Fire burns in her body and mind
Radha kaise na jale, Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
Mann mein hai Radhe ko Kaanha jo basaaye
If Krishna has only kept Radha in his heart
To Kaanha kaahe ko usse na bataaye
Then why doesn’t he tell her this?
–MALE–
Prem ki apni alag boli, alag bhaasa hai
We speak of love in different tongues, different languages
Baat nainon se ho Kaanha ki yahi aasa hai
The message is sent through eyes, this is all Krishna hopes
–FEMALE–
(Kaanha ke yeh jo naina hain
These eyes Krishna has
Chheene gopiyon ke chaina hain) – 2
They snatch away the gopis’ ease
Mili najariya, hui baawariya
When the gazes met
Gori gori si koi gujariya
A light-skinned woman got angered
–MALE–
Kaanha ka pyaar kisi gopi ke mann mein jo pale
Even if Krishna’s love is cultivated in a gopi’s heart
Kis liye Radha jale, Radha jale, Radha jale
Why should Radha be jealous?
–FEMALE–
Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
–MALE–
Kis liye Radha jale
Why should Radha be jealous?
–FEMALE–
Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
–MALE–
Kis liye Radha jale, kis liye Radha jale
Why should Radha be jealous?
–FEMALE–
Radha kaise na jale
How can Radha not be jealous?
–MALE–
Kis liye Radha jale, kis liye Radha jale
Why should Radha be jealous?
–FEMALE 2–
Aah, aah, aah, aah…
–FEMALE–
Radha kaise na jale – 3
How can Radha not be jealous?
