Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main English Lyrics
Hmm hmm hmm … la la la … la la la
Hmm hmm hmm … la la la … la la la
Zara sa jhoom loon main
Let me sway a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Zara sa ghoom loon main
Let me wander around a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Aa tujhe choom loon main
Come, let me kiss you
Arre na re baba na
Oh no, absolutely not
Main chali banke hawa
I’m off like the wind
Rabba mere mainu bacha
Oh God, please save me
Zara sa jhoom loon main
Let me sway a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Zara sa ghoom loon main
Let me wander around a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Aa tujhe choom loon main
Come, let me kiss you
Arre na re baba na
Oh no, absolutely not
Main chali banke hawa
I’m off like the wind
Rabba mere mainu bacha
Oh God, please save me
Thandi thandi pavan
This cool, gentle breeze
Jalta hai yeh badan
Makes my body burn
Jee chahta hai bana loon
I feel like making
Tujhko apna sajan
You my beloved
Hua nahin yeh pehle kabhi
This has never happened to me before
Meri chaal badal gayi abhi abhi
Even the way I walk has just changed
Main chali banke hawa
I’m off like the wind
Rabba mere mainu bacha
Oh God, please save me
Zara sa jhoom loon main
Let me sway a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Zara sa ghoom loon main
Let me wander around a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Aa tujhe choom loon main
Come, let me kiss you
Arre na re baba na
Oh no, absolutely not
Jaati hai tu kahan
Where are you going?
Jaaneman jaanejaan
My sweetheart, my love
Ladki hai tu khoobsurat
You’re a beautiful girl
Ladka main naujawan
And I’m a young man
Tujhe gale laga loon aa
Come, let me hold you in my arms
Palkhon mein bitha loon aa
Come, let me cherish you like something precious
Ho gaya mujhe nasha
I’ve become intoxicated
Rabba mere mainu bacha
Oh God, please save me
Zara sa jhoom loon main
Let me sway a little
Na re na re na
No, no, no
Zara sa ghoom loon main
Let me wander around a little
Arre na re na re na
Oh no, no, no
Aa tujhe choom loon main
Come, let me kiss you
Na re baba na
No, absolutely not
Ho gaya mujhe nasha
I’ve become intoxicated
Rabba mere mainu bacha
Oh God, please save me
