O Pardesi: Lyrics, Translation (Dev.D, Singer Tochi Raina)

Movie: Dev.D
Music: Amit Trivedi
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Tochi Raina

o pardesi, o pardesi,
meetha sa chadha hai bukhaar,
he re mai thara pardesi..

O foreigner, O foreigner,
some sweet fever has caught (me),
hey, I am yours, o foreigner..

o pardesi, o pardesi,
ramji karo beda paar,
he re mai thara pardesi..

O foreigner, O foreigner,
God save me (now),
hey, I am yours, o foreigner..

waqt ne kar dala bantadhar,
ib ke hovegaa agge yaar..

Time has (completely) ruined me,
now what will happen going ahead..

mann bawri bawri puchh sa laage,
kabhi it ku dole,
kabhi ut bhaage..

the heart looks like a mad tail,
sometimes it goes here,
sometimes runs there..

o pardesi, o pardesi,
naino mein sapne hajaar,
he re mai thara pardesi..

O foreigner, O foreigner,
a thousand dreams in (my) eyes,
hey, I am yours, o foreigner..

laage meetha meetha chadheya bukhar,
ishq mushk na chhupe baawde yaar..

seems I have got some sweet fever,
love and sweet smell don't hide, o foolish/mad friend..

dil ki takhti pe naam likha tera gehra,
katil aankhon pe julf ka saje hai pehra..

your name is written deeply on the slate of heart,
on (your) killer eyes there is a guard of beautiful hair..

hua pardesi, hua pardesi,
meetha sa chadha hai bukhar,
he re mai thara pardesi..

I became alien, became a foreigner,
some sweet fever has caught (me),
hey, I am yours, o foreigner..

o pardesi, o pardesi,
ramji karo beda paar,
he re mai thahra pardesi..
