Lo Chali Main Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Hum Aapke Hain Koun
lo chali main apne dewar ki baaraat le ke
I go to take my husband’s youngest brother’s wedding procession;
lo chali main
look, I’m going!
na “band” baajaa na hi baaraati
No band plays, nor is there a procession,
khushiyon ki saugaat leke
but I take the gift of love!
lo chali main
look, I’m going!
dewar dulha banaa sar pe sehara sajaa
My brother-in-law, become a bridegroom; put the garland over your head.
bhaabhi badhkar aaj balaiya leti hai
Having pledged you, your sister-in-law takes your misfortunes onto herself.
prem ki kaliyaan khilein pal pal khushiyaan milein
Let the buds of love bloom; at every moment may you reap happiness!
sachche man se aaj duaayein deti hai
Today, with a pure heart, I offer these prayers.
ghode pe charhke chalaa hai baanka apni dulhan se milne
Seated on a horse, the groom goes to meet his bride
lo chali main
look, I’m going!
waah waah raamji jodi kya banaayi
Splendid, wonderful, Lord Ram, what a match you have made!
dewar devraaniji badhaayi ho badhaayi
Youngest brother of my husband, bride of my husband’s youngest brother, may you flourish!
sab rasmon se badi hai jag mein
Of all the traditions in this world, the greatest
dil se dil ki sagaayi
is the engagement of two hearts.
aayi hai shubh ghadi aaj bani main badi
The auspicious moment has come; today I am become an adult.
kal tak ghar ki bahu thi ab huun jethaaani
Till yesterday, I was the daughter-in-law of the house; now I am the wife of a husband’s elder brother.
hukum chalaayuungi main aankh dikhaayuungi main
I shall exercise authority; I shall be threatening!
sahami khaDi rahegi meri devraani
My sister-in-law shall stand transfixed in fear!
hazaar sapne palkon mein apne diwaani main saath leke
With a thousand dreams in my eyes, crazy (with happiness),
lo chali main
look, I’m going!
