Singer: Kamaal Khan, Amit Mishra
Label: Sony Music India

The song 'sajan radio bajaiyyo zara' or simply 'radio' song from Tubelight is about Laxman (Salman Khan) getting the news of his brother's being alive and coming back.

khushkhabri aisi mili hai
uchhalne lage hum hawa mein
poori huyi dil ki tamanna
baRa hi asar tha duaa mein

I've got such good news,
that I have started jumping in the air.
the wish of the heart is fulfilled,
the prayer was very powerful.

ban-Than ke baal bana ke
jootaa polish karwa ke
naachenge hum ta-ta-thaiyyaa

all decked up, with my hair combed well,
and my shoes polished,
I'll dance merrily.

sajan radio... o, o...
bajaiyo bajaiyo bajaiyo zara
sajan radio... o, o...
bajai ke sabhi ko nachaiyo zara
sajan radio... o, o..
bajaiyo bajaiyo bajaiyo zara

O dear, play the radio please,
play it, play it.
O dear, play the radio
and make everyone dance...



O.. mere dil ka khoya sa tukRa
lauTega ik din kabhi
iska mujhe tha yakeen
iska mujhe tha yakeen, jaana

O, the broken piece of my heart,
will come back sometime, one day,
I believed that,
I was sure of it, O dear.

sadqe mein chaahe lag jaaye isko
saari umar bhi meri
hoga mujhe gham nahi
hoga mujhe gham nahi...

even if I end up blessing him
with the entire life of mine,
I'd not be sad.

[Sadqa is literally charity, but here the meaning seems to be more like blessing someone and asking God to give a part of your life to the person being blessed/well-wished.]

afsar ke jaisa ainTha
motor-gaaRi mein baiTha
aayega mera sipahiya

taut like an officer,
sitting in a motor car,
my soldier will come.

sajan radio... o, o...
bajaiyo bajaiyo bajaiyyo zara
sajan radio... o, o...
bajai ke sabhi ko nachaiyyo zara
sajan radio... o, o...
bajaiyo bajaiyo bajaiyyo zara

pa pa pa purup purrup
pa pa pa purup purrup
o kaaka
o mausi
o cycle waale bhaiya

O uncle,
O aunt,
O brother with the cycle...

ban-Than ke baal bana ke
jootaa polish karwa ke
naachenge hum ta-ta-thaiyyaa

sajan radio... o, o...
bajaiyo bajaiyo bajaiyo zara
sajan radio... o, o...
bajai ke sabhi ko nachaiyo zara
sajan radio... o, o...
bajaiyo bajaiyo bajaiyo zara
