Tanhai Tanhai — Hindi Lyrics with English Translation
Tanhai tanhai tanhai
This loneliness of ours
Dono ko paas le aayi
Has brought us closer to each other
Tanhai tanhai tanhai
This loneliness of ours
Dono ko paas le aayi
Has brought us closer to each other
Pyar mein beh gaye do dil
Two hearts have drifted away in love
Mauj yeh kaisi aayi
What a beautiful wave of love has swept over us!
Tanhai tanhai tanhai
This loneliness of ours
Dono ko paas le aayi
Has brought us closer to each other
Pyar mein beh gaye do dil
Two hearts have drifted away in love
Mauj yeh kaisi aayi
What a beautiful wave of love has swept over us!
Aaj hawaon ne bansi bajayi
Today, the winds are playing the flute
Bin kahe dil ki baat batayi
Without a word, they’ve revealed what our hearts feel
Aaj hawaon ne bansi bajayi
Today, the winds are playing the flute
Bin kahe dil ki baat batayi
Without a word, they’ve revealed what our hearts feel
Le doobi mere pagal mann ko
It has swept my restless heart away
Tere pyar ki yeh gehrai
Into the depths of your love
Tanhai tanhai tanhai
This loneliness of ours
Dono ko paas le aayi
Has brought us closer to each other
Pyar mein beh gaye do dil
Two hearts have drifted away in love
Mauj yeh kaisi aayi
What a beautiful wave of love has swept over us!
Dard ka tere ehsaas raha hai
I’ve always felt your pain
Tera ehsaas mere paas raha hai
I’ve always felt your presence close to me
Dard ka tere ehsaas raha hai
I’ve always felt your pain
Tera ehsaas mere paas raha hai
I’ve always felt your presence close to me
Ek tujhe bas meri lagan thi
You were the only one truly devoted to me
Baat yeh der se samajh mein hai aayi
It took me a long time to realise this
Tanhai tanhai tanhai
This loneliness of ours
Dono ko paas le aayi
Has brought us closer to each other
Pyar mein beh gaye do dil
Two hearts have drifted away in love
Mauj yeh kaisi aayi
What a beautiful wave of love has swept over us!
