Chori Pe Chori Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Saathiya
toba toba
heavens forbid!
chori chori yeh bas tori
all tha’s yours is stolen
chori pe chori chori pe chori
theft upon theft upon theft upon theft
ek dakaiti aur sinaa zori
crimes, yet you claim authority
chori pe chori chori pe chori
theft upon theft upon theft upon theft
ek dakaiti aur sinaa zori
crimes, yet you claim authority
chori pe chori chori pe chori
theft upon theft upon theft upon theft
haath pakarke ungali marori
grabbing my hand, he wrenched back my finger
toba toba toba yaar meri tauba
alas, alas, my friends!
toba toba toba yeh to nahin hoga
alas, this cannot be!
chori pe chori chori pe chori
theft upon theft upon theft upon theft!
katte ke chutki chunne ki bori
a hard pinch and an unjust compulsion
jhuuthi jahaan ki aafat hai jaan ki
the world’s treachery is disastrous to the soul!
ek dakaiti aur sinaa zori
the criminal is the one who claims the right of it!
toba toba toba yaar meri tauba
alas, alas, my friends!
toba toba toba yeh to nahin hoga
alas, this cannot be!
o chori chori yeh bas tori
all that’s yours is ill-begotten
dost pyaar vyaar torne ki baat bhi puraani ho agyi “you know”
friends, this talk of betrayal in love is getting old, you know
raat raat bhar ka intazaar bhi kahaani ho gayi “you know”
it’s also a tale of waiting up whole nights through, you know
dil ka jalte rahana dost ab to zindagaani ho gayi
your heart will just have to burn, friend; your life has started now
ik raat milne ki baaki sulagne ki saavan nahin hai kahin
i just need to meet him one more night; the smouldering rains are nowhere to be seen
do tin laharen hain baaki samundar hai saahil nahin hai kahin
there are a couple of waves, and the rest is the sea; there’s no shore in sight
do gaz ki kashti milon samandar hai
the boat is two yards long; the sea stretches for miles
duub duubke jaana hoga milon samandar hai
a person may just have to drown; the ocean is miles wide
chori pe chori chori pe chori
theft upon theft upon theft upon theft!
sina zori sina zori
and you claim the authority!
doston ik khayaal ke bagal men kaise saari zindagi guzaar den
friends, how am i going to spend my entire life in the grip of a delusion?
bane to ham tere khayaal ko libaas ki tarah utaar den
if only we could strip you of it like clothing!
ishq vishq ka khumaar bhi utaar dijiye zaraa
please just strip me of love’s intoxication as well!
jaane bhi do yaar kaise nibhegi kaise guzar hoga
just let it go, friend � how you’ll follow through on this, how you’ll get through it
yeh “ma” ke phere yeh “ma” ke chakkar pyaar bhanvar hoga
in your busy life, love is just another whirlpool sucking you in
do gaz ki kashti milon samundar hai
the boat is two yards long; the sea stretches for miles
duub duubke jaana hoga milon samandar hai
a person may just have to drown; the ocean is miles wide
chori pe chori chori pe chori
theft upon theft upon theft upon theft!
katte ke chutki chunne ki bori
a hard pinch and it’s blown all out of proportion
jhuuthi jahaan ki aafat hai jaan ki
the world’s treachery is disastrous to the soul!
ek dakaiti aur sinaa zori
the criminal claims the right of it!
toba toba toba yaaron meri tauba
alas, alas, my friends!
toba toba toba yeh to nahin hoga
this cannot be!
