Laakad Jalke Koyala Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Omkara
laakad jalke koyala hoi jaaye
The wood burns and becomes coal
koyala hoi jaaye khaak
the coal turns into ashes/dust
jiya jale toh kuchh na hoy re
When the heart burrns[aches], nothing happens
na dhuaan na raakh
No smoke, no ashes
jiya na jalaiyyo re
Don’t make my heart ache
haai jiya na jalaiyyo re
haai jiya na lagaiyyo re
hey laakad jalke koyala hoi jaaye
koyala hoi jaaye
barf pighalke paani hooy jaay re
Ice melts and becomes water
baahal baala udd jaai re
peer jiya mein aaisi baithi re baithi
The ache in heart has set in so gravely
aaisi baithi re baithi
Has set in so heavily
na pighle na jaaye re
It doesn’t melt or disappear
nadi kinaare behte sahaare
Along the rivers flow the banks
nara lagaiyyo re na lagaiyyo re
Do not cut into it
jiya na lagaiyyo re
Don’t love anyone
haai jiya na jalaiyyo re
jiya na lagaiyyo re
ho laakad jalke koyala hoi jaaye
koyala hoi jaaye
ho jhhute vachan sab saari baat re
The promises are all lies so are the talks
ek barkha ka paani
the rain water
baras baras sab beh jaave sab beh jaave nain
Rains so much that it drains the eyes away
jeene jitni paani
that little bit of water to keep alive
saawan se yeh na bujhne ki jaan na jagaiyyo re
don’t have any expectations from the rainy season
na jagaiyyo re
jiya na lagaiyyo re
haai jiya na jalaiyyo re
jiya na lagaiyyo re
jiya na jalaiyyo re
don’t fall in love
