Badumba Meaning, Lyrics Translation | 102 Not Out / Amitabh Bachchan

Movie: 102 Not Out
Music: Amitabh Bachchan
Lyrics: Amitabh Bhattacharya
Singer: Amitabh Bachchan, Rishi Kapoor
Label: Saregama Music

This is one unique song, the most Amitabh-Amitabh song, I'd say. As it's not only a composition of Amitabh Bachchan and sung by him, but also has lyrics written by the lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya. That's two much Amitabh for a song. :D

Badumbaa Meaning: baDumba (or baDumbaa or baDumbaaa) is nothing but simply a cry of joy. It's probably a word dear to Amitabh Bachchan. Saying so because he has earlier even tweeted the word when he was happy about India winning a cricket match. Here, the word is a cry of joy and energy, which is the theme of the song.

hey pyaare!
chehre pe baarah mat bajaa re
satrangi lamhon ke gubbaare
khuli hawaaon mein uRa re

Hey you!
don't you make your face sad.
fly in the winds
balloons of rainbow colors.

aye...
yaara samajh le ishaara
kya bole tumba
masti mein jee le zumba zumba
baDumbaa zumba!

hey,
understand the signal,
that the tumba (a musical instument) says.
live with all energy, enjoy.



yaara samajh le ishaara
kya bole tumba
masti mein jee le zumba zumba

come on!
sar se gira de fikar ka bojha
kamar hila ke happy happy hoja
kehna tu maan le mera...

come on!
let the weight of worry tumble from your head.
move your waist and be happy.
listen to what I say.

yaara samajh le ishaara
kya bole tumba
masti mein jee le zumba zumba
