Nagada Sang Dhol Baaje Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Ramleela
Hey dhin tadaak, dhin tadaak
Hey, dhin tadaak, dhin tadaak (dhin tadaak is the sound that emits from Indian percussion)
Aa ja ud ke saraat
Come, flying fast
pairon se bedi zara khol
and open the shackles off my feet
(Nagade sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje
The drums beat with the kettle-drums
Dhaanyn dhaanyn dham dham dhaanyn) – 2) – 2
in a high crescendo – 2 (dhaanyn, dham dham dhaanyn are used to describe the high sound produced by the drum and kettl-drum beats)
O pal-pal re pal-pal beeta jal-jal
Every single moment passes like the flowing water
Naach ab chal aaja
Come, and dance now
Re tharthar, tharthar, haan kaanpe tharthar
why are your shivering so much
Haan dar dar jee se darr ab na na
Now, do not be afraid of your heart
Baagon mein bola bola re bola
The peacock has spoken in the garden
baadla re dil ka bhoogol
my heart’s geography has changed
(Nagade sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje
The drums beat with the kettle-drums
Dhaanyn dhaanyn dham dham dhaanyn) – 2) – 2
in a high crescendo – 2
Hey dhin tadaak dhin tadaak
Hey, dhin tadaak, dhin tadaak
Aa ja ud ke saraat
Come, flying fast
pairon se bedi zara khol
and open the shackles off my feet
(Nagade sang dhol baaje, dhol baaje
The drums beat with the kettle-drums
Dhaanyn dhaanyn dham dham dhaanyn) – 2) – 2
in a high crescendo – 2
