Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera Song Lyrics and Translation
From the movie – Swades
yeh jo des hai tera swades hai tera
this country of yours is your motherland
tujhe hai pukaara
and is calling out to you
yeh woh bandhan hai jo kabhi tuut nahin sakta
this is a bond which can never break
mitti ki hai jo khushbu tu kaise bhulaayega
how can you forget the scent of your earth
tu chaahe kahin jaaye tu lautke aayega
you can go anywhere but you’ll always come back
nayi nayi raahon mein dabi dabi aahon mein
in new paths, in every sigh
khoye khoye dil se tere
to your lost heart
koi yeh kahega
someone will say
yeh jo des hai tera swades hai tera
this land of yours is your motherland
tujhse zindagi hai yeh kah rahi
life is telling you
sab to pa liya ab hai kya kami
you have achieved everything now what’s left
yuun to saare sukh hai barse
looks like hapiness has been showered on you
par duur tu hai apne ghar se
but you’re far from your home
haan laut chal tu ab deewane
now come back oh crazy one
jahaan koi to tujhe apna maane
where at least someone will call you their own
aawaaz de tujhe bulaaye
and will call out to you
vahi des
that very same country
yeh jo des hai tera….
this land that is yours…..
yeh pal hai vahi jismein hai chhupi
this moment has hidden in it
puuri ek sadi saari zindagi
a whole century of life
tu na puuchh raaste mein kahe
don’t ask why in the road
aaye hain is tarah do raahein
has come a fork with two ways
tu hi to hai raah sujhaaye
you are the one who should choose the path
tu hi to hai ab jo yeh bataaye
you should choose
jaaye to kis disha mein jaaye
which direction to take
vahi des
this very country
yeh jo des hai tera….
this land that is yours….
