Monta Re Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Lootera
(Kaagaz ke do pankh leke uda chala jaaye re
With two wings of paper, it goes on flying (here, the lyricist is referring to heart as an idiot)
Jahan nahi jaana tha ye wahin chala haye re
It goes where it should not
Umar ka ye taana-baana samajh na paaye re
It hasn’t understood the ins and outs of life
Zubaan pe jo moh-maaya namak lagaye re
The salt of the worldly infatuation it has tasted
Ke dekhe na, bhaale na, jaane na daayere
is stopping it from seeing, understanding and not recognizing the limits
Disha haara kemon boka. monta re) – 2
How the idiot heart has lost the direction – 2
Fateh kare qile saare, bhed jaaye deewarein
It takes over all the fortresses, scale over the walls
Prem koi sendh laage sendh lage re lage
If it smells love, smells love
Agar magar bari bari jiya ko yun uchhale
Without any ifs and buts, it flung the heart
Jiya nahin gend laage gend lage re lage
as if it is not a heart, but a ball
Maati ko ye chandan sa mathe pe sajaye re
It smears the forehead with the earth as sandalwood
Zubaan pe jo moh-maaya namak lagaye re
The salt of the worldly infatuation that it has tasted
Ke dekhe na, bhaale na, jaane na daayere
is stopping it from seeing, understanding and not recognizing the limits
Disha haara kemon boka. monta re) – 2
How the idiot heart has lost the direction – 2
