Babul Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Hum Aapke Hain Koun
baabul jo tumne sikhaaya
Father, what you have taught me
jo tum se paaya
what I have gained from you
sajan ghar le chali…
I’ll take to my bridegroom’s home
yaadon ke lekar saaye
Taking shelter in memories
chali ghar paraaye
I go to a strange house
tumhaari ladli
Your dearest
kaise bhuul paayuungi main baabaa
How will I manage to forget, father
suni jo tumse kahaaniyaan
the stories that you have told me
chhod chali aangan mein maiya
I leave my mother in the courtyard,
bachpan ki nishaaniyaan
and all the traces of childhood
sun meri pyaari bahana
Listen, my darling sister
sajaaye rahana
May your presence continue to honor (decorate)
yeh baabul ki gali
this place of our father’s
ban gaya pardes ghar janam ka
this house of my birth has become a foreign land
mili hai duniya mujhe nayi
I have gained a new world
naam jo piya se main ne joda
That name which my husband joined to me
naye rishton se bandh gayi
bound me to new relationships
mere sasur ji pita hain
My father-in-law is my father now
pati devta hain
My husband is my god
devar chhavi krishn ki
his youngest brother, the likeness of Lord Krishna
sajan ghar main chali…
I go to my bridegroom’s home…
