Pardesi Pardesi Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Raja Hindustani
main ye nahin kahati ki pyaar mat karna
I won’t tell you not to love
kisi musaafir ka magar etabaar mat karna
some traveller, but don’t trust one.
chorus
pardesi pardesi jaana nahin mujhe chhoDke
Foreigner, foreigner, don’t go and leave me.
pardesi mere yaara, vaada nibhaana
Foreigner, my friend, keep your promise!
mujhe yaad rakhna kahin bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don’t forget somehow!
main ne tum ko chaaha tumse pyaar kiya
I desired you, I fell in love with you.
sub kuchh tum pe yaar apna vaar diya
I offered you everything I have, my friend.
ban gai jogan, main ne prit ka jog liya
I became a (female) ascetic, I undertook the disciplines of love.
na socha na samjha, dil ka rog liya
I neither thought nor understood; I contracted an illness of the heart.
pardesi mere yaara lauT ke aana
Foreigner, my friend, return!
Tum yaad rakhna, kahin bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don’t forget somehow!
chorus
har phal meri yaad tumhein taDapaayegi
Every moment the memory of me will make you toss and turn.
main jaguunga nind tumhein na aayegi
I’ll stay awake, and sleep will not come to you.
chhod ke aise haal mein jo tum jaaoge
Such is the state you will go and leave us in!
sach kahata huun jaan bahut pachhtaaoge
I speak the truth, love; you will regret it greatly.
pardesi mere yaara, mujhe na rulaana
Foreigner, my friend, don’t make me cry!
tum yaad rakhna kahin bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don’t forget somehow!
chorus
pardesi mere yaara vaada nibhana
Foreigner, my friend, keep your promise –
mujhe yaad rakhna kahin bhuul na jaana
remember me, don’t somehow forget!
