Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola
Pehle woh boli phir main bola
She said first and then I said
Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
Phir Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola dola dola
Again, the heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
(Gulle ki begi, begi ka gulla
The Jack’s queen, the queen’s jack (Gulle is referred to Jack and ‘Begi’ to the queen of the playing cards)
Jab tambu khola tab khullam khulla) – 2
When the tent opened, everything was opened – 2
Pehle woh bola phir main bola
First he said, then I said
Hey Matru ki Bijli ka mandola – 2
The heart of Matru’s Bijli has swayed – 2
Matru re Matru Matru ki Bijlee
Oh Matru, Matru, Matru’s Bijlee
Bijlee ka Mandola
The heart of Bijlee is swayed
Hey Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijli has swayed
Chatak chatak dil chatak chatak dil
crack, crack, the heart has cracked
Chatak chatak dil chatka
cracked, cracked, cracked heart
Patak patak phir patak patak phir
Tumble, tumble, again tumble
Patak patak phir patka
tumble, tumble, again plunked
Haa chatak chatak dil chatak chatak dil
crack, crack, the heart has cracked
Chatak chatak dil chataka re
cracked, cracked, cracked heart
Patak patak patak patak phir patka re
Tumble, tumble, again tumble
Hariya ki dhan dola
The wealth of Hariya’s has swayed
Bijlee ka tan dola
The body of Bijlee has swayed
Re Matru ko man dola haaye
Even Matru’s heart has swayed
Aate ki roti, mitti ka chulha
The flour’s bread, and earthen stove
Pidhi pe dulhan moodhe pe dulha
The bride is on the stool, and the groom on a wooden plank
Pehle woh bola phir main bola
First he said, then I said
Hey Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
Haay Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
(Matak matak dhar matak matak dhar
shamble, shamble, shamble
Matak matak dhar matka
Shamble, shamble, shamble
Atak atak kar atak atak kar
Getting stuck
Atak atak kar atkaa) – 2
Getting stuck – 2
(Gulle ki begi, begi ka gulla
The Jack’s queen, the queen’s jack (Gulle is referred to Jack and ‘Begi’ to the queen of the playing cards)
Jab tambu khola tab khullam khulla) – 2
When the tent opened, everything was opened – 2
Bolo toh kab dola
Say, when he swayed
Pehle toh zameen doli phir rab dola
First the earth swayed, and then the God swayed
Koi naa jaane re kon tha bulla
Nobody knows who was the God
Re padi jo pothi toh khullam khulla
When the book was read, everything was opened
Pehle woh bola phir main bola hey
First he said, then I said
Re Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
Hey Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
Matru re Matru Matru ki Bijlee
Matru, Oh Matru, Matru’s Bijlee
Bijlee ka mandola
Bijlee’s heart has swayed
Hey Matru ki Bijlee ka mandola
The heart of Matru’s Bijlee has swayed
