Koi Ladki Hai Jab Woh Hansti Hai English Lyrics
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Ghode jaisi chaal, haathi jaisi dum
A horse-like gait, an elephant-like tail
O sawan raja kahan se aaye tum
Oh, King of the Monsoon, where have you come from?
Ghode jaisi chaal, haathi jaisi dum
A horse-like gait, an elephant-like tail
O sawan raja kahan se aaye tum
Oh, King of the Monsoon, where have you come from?
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Koi ladki hai jab woh hansti hai
There is a girl and whenever she laughs
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Koi ladki hai jab woh hansti hai
There is a girl and whenever she laughs
Barish hoti hai chanak chanak chum chum
The rain begins to fall, pattering all around.
Hey, koi ladki hai jab woh hansti hai
Hey, There is a girl and whenever she laughs
Barish hoti hai chnak chnak chum chum
The rain begins to fall, pattering all around.
Koi ladka hai jab woh gaata hai
There is a guy and whenever he sings
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Arre, koi ladka hai jab woh gaata hai
Oh, There is a guy and whenever he sings
Sawan aata hai gumad gumad gum gum
The monsoon rolls in with a rumbling sound.
Hey, koi ladka hai jab woh gaata hai
Hey, There is a guy and whenever he sings
Sawan aata hai gumad gumad gum gum
The monsoon rolls in with a rumbling sound.
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Ho … ho ho ho
Ho … ho ho ho
Hey … hey hey hey
Hey … hey hey hey
Baadal jhuke jhuke se hain
The clouds are hanging low,
Raste ruke ruke se hain
And the roads seem to have come to a standstill.
Kya teri marzi hai, megha?
What do you have in mind, O cloud?
Ghar humko jaane na dega
You won’t let us go home.
Aage hai barsaat, peeche hai toofan
There’s rain ahead and a storm behind us.
Mausam beimaan, kahan chale hum tum?
The weather is playing tricks on us. Where can we go?
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Koi ladki hai jab woh hansti hai
There is a girl and whenever she laughs
Barish hoti hai chanak chanak chum chum
The rain begins to fall, pattering all around.
Koi ladka hai jab woh gaata hai
There is a guy and whenever he sings
Sawan aata hai gumad gumad gum gum
The monsoon rolls in with a rumbling sound.
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Ho … ho ho ho
Ho … ho ho ho
Hey … hey hey hey
Hey … hey hey hey
Ambar jhuka jhuka sa hai
The sky seems to be hanging low,
Sab kuch ruka ruka sa hai
And everything seems to have come to a standstill.
Chhaya samaa kitna pyara
What a lovely atmosphere surrounds us!
Sawan ka samjho ishara
Take it as a sign that the monsoon is here.
Aise mausam mein tum bhi kuch kaho
In weather like this, you should say something too.
Tum bhi kuch karo, khadi ho kyun gumsum?
Do something, too! Why are you standing there so quietly?
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak
Hey, ghode jaisi chaal, haathi jaisi dum
Hey, a horse-like gait, an elephant-like tail
O sawan raja kahan se aaye tum
Oh, King of the Monsoon, where have you come from?
Ghode jaisi chaal, haathi jaisi dum
A horse-like gait, an elephant-like tail
O sawan raja kahan se aaye tum
Oh, King of the Monsoon, where have you come from?
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Koi ladki hai jab woh hansti hai
There is a girl and whenever she laughs
Barish hoti hai chanak chanak chum chum
The rain begins to fall, pattering all around.
Koi ladka hai jab woh gaata hai
There is a guy and whenever he sings
Sawan aata hai gumad gumad gum gum
The monsoon rolls in with a rumbling sound.
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Chak dhoom dhoom, chak dhoom dhoom
Ho … ho ho ho
Ho … ho ho ho
Hey … hey hey hey
Hey … hey hey hey
Ho … ho ho ho
Ho … ho ho ho
Hmmm … la la la
Hmmm … la la la
