Hum Toh Aise Hai Bhaiya Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Laaga Chunar Mein Daag
Jeb mein hamari duhi rupaiya
There is just two rupees in our pocket
duniya ko rakhe thenge pe bhaiya
and we keep the world on our thumbs
Sukh dukh ko khuti pe taange
We hang happiness and grief on the nail on wall
aur paap punya choti se baandhe
and we tie sin and good deeds with our hairband
Jeb mein hamari duhi rupaiya
There is just two rupees in our pocket
duniya ko rakhe thenge pe bhaiya
and we keep the world on our thumbs
Sukh dukh ko khuti pe taange
We hang happiness and grief on the nail on wall
aur paap punya choti se baandhe
and we tie sin and good deeds with our hairband
Naache hai hum ta ta thaiya
and we dance with joy
Hum toh aise hai bhaiya, are hum toh aise hai bhaiya
We are like this O you people, we are like this
Yeh apna fashion hai bahiya
This is our fashion O people
are hum toh aise hai bhaiya
Hey, we are like this, everybody
Ek gali mein bham bham bole
In one lane, there is a temple
duji gali mein alla miya
and another a mosque
Ek gali mein gunje ajaane
In one lane there is chanting of unknown hymns
duji gali mein bansi bajaiya
and in another there is a sound of flute
Sab ki rago mein lahu bahe hain
Blood is flowing in everybody’s veins
apani rago mein Ganga maiya
and in our veins mother Ganges
Suraj aur chanda bhi dhalata (dhal ja)
The sun and moon too set
Apane ishaaron pe chalta duniya ka gol gol pahiya (dhal na)
The round wheel of the world rotates on our wish
Are hum toh aise hai bhaiya – 2
Hey, we are like this O people – 2
Yeh apna fashion hai bahiya
This is our fashion
are hum toh aise hai bhaiya
Hey, we are like this O people
Aaja Banaaras ka ras chakhle aa
Come, taste the nectar of Banaras
are Ganga mein jaake tu dubki laga
and go and have a bath in the Ganges
Rabdi ke sang sang chaba le na ungali
Don’t bite your finger with rabdi (rabdi is a sweet)
maathe pe bhaang ka rang chadha
Get dizzy with the effect of Bhaang (Bhaang is an Indian marijuana)
Choona lagaayile, panva khilaayide
Eat the betel leaf with the alkaline paste
us pe tu zarde ka tadka lagaide
mix some tobacco to the betel leaf
Patna se aaibe, Pari se aaibe
People come from Patna and Paris
Gangaji mein har koyi nanga nahaayive
and all have a bath in the Ganges
Jiteji jo koyi Kaashi na aaye
Whoever doesn’t come to Kaashi in his or her lifetime
chaar chaar kaandhe pe woh chadh ke aaye
Their bodies are brought here on four shoulders
Are hum toh aise hai bhaiya – 2
Hey, we are like this O people – 2
Yeh apani nagari hai bahiya
This town is ours O people
are hum toh aise hai bhaiya
Hey, we are like this O people
Didi agar tujhko hoti jo muchh
Big sister, what if you had a mustache
main tujhko bhaiya bulaati tu soch
I would have called you brother, just think
Are Chhutaki agar tujhko hoti jo puchh
Hey Chhutaki, if you had a tail
Toh main tujhko gaiya bulaati tu soch
Then I would have called you a cow, just think
Didi ne na jaane kyun chhodi padhaayi
Don’t know why big sister has left her studies
Ghar baithe amma sang karati hai ladaayi
Sitting idle at home, she keep fighting with mother
Amma bechaari pisne hai aayi
Poor mother has to grind the wheat
Raat din sukh dukh ki chakki yeh chalaye
She works day and night
Aur ghar baithe baithe baabuji hamaare
And our father sitting idle at home
Lottery mein dhundate hai kismat ke taare….3 2 1 2 7 2
tries to find his luck in lotteries
Majhdhaar mein hamari naiya
Our boat is in the lurch
phir bhi dekho mast hai hum bhaiya
Even then look we are fine O people
Hum toh aise hai bhaiya, are hum toh aise hai bhaiya
We are like this O people, hey we are like this
Dil mein aata hai yahaan se panchhi banke udd jaau
I wish to become a bird and fly away from here
Shaam pade phir daana lekar lautke apane ghar aau
and as the evening sets in return with food for all
Hum toh aise hai bhaiya, are hum toh aise hai bhaiya
We are like this O people, hey we are like this O people
