Laaga Re Jal Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Paheli
Movie : Paheli
Song : Laaga Re Jal Laaga
laaga re jal laaga
Water pours down;
barsaa re jal barsaa
rain showers down!
chavii kii god bharii re laage harii
The chavi tree is in bloom; everything is green.
kalsii bharii aur taal bhare aur goriyaan ke naina
The water-pitchers and ponds are full; and so are the eyes of beautiful women.
laaga re jal laaga
Water pours down;
barsaa re jal barsaa
rain showers down!
paat paat kii baat baat par jhuul jhuulke phuul bajaave taaliyaan
The flowers dance and clap in rhythm with the speech of the leaves.
ber ber maaTii ka DHer bole sabuur khole saber kii laaliyaa.n
Again and again the earth patiently speaks, and the redness of dawn unfurls.
dhan hii dhan hai jal janmaa hai
The water has birthed an endless abundance.
maaTii ke badan se ek aur pal janma hai
From the body of the earth, one more moment has been born.
samay kii ghuurnii se naya kal janma hai
Time’s revolutions have birthed a new tomorrow.
pal janmaa re jal janmaa…
A moment is born, birthed by water…
dekhbhaal kar aaj kaal par laaga re laaga
Tender care has today averted a time of want.
laaga re jal laaga
Water pours down;
barsaa re jal barsaa
rain showers down!
palkon mein soya huaa os ka daana tha piya
A drop of dew slumbered on my lashes, beloved.
voh der aa rahii mera sapna tha anjaana sa piya
I dreamed, without knowing it, of the time that’s upon us now, my love.
jaago piya sapna jagaa
Wake up, beloved; your dreams have awoken.
tere nainon mein soya tha sapna jagaa
The dream slumbering in your eyes has come to life.
tere nainon mein soya tha samay jagaa hai
The time which was slumbering in your eyes has come to life.
pal jaaga re kal jaaga…
The moment awakes; tomorrow awakes.
dekhbhaal kar aaj kaal par laaga re laaga
Tender care has today averted a time of want.
laaga re jal laaga
Water pours down;
barsaa re jal barsaa
rain showers down!
godii mein dhartii ho aakaash sar pe bhara bharaa
May the earth be fertile, and the sky swollen overhead.
aangan mein bajatii rahe jhunjhunon kii sadaa sadaa
May the sound of anklets always ring in the courtyard.
godii terii bharii rahe tere maang mein sitaare bhare rahen
May your marriage be fruitful, and the part of your hair filled with stars,
suhaagan lagan surya laaga rahe
happily married, the sun always on your face.
jal laaga re phal laaga…
Water pours down, bearing fruit…
ek baar to puure chaand ko laaga re laaga
For once, it strikes on a full moon.
jal laaga re phal laaga
Water pours down, bearing fruit.
laaga re jal laaga
Water pours down.
