Le Gayi Le Gayi — Hindi Lyrics with English Translation
Tu ru ru tu ru ru … tu ru ru tu ru ru
Tu ru ru tu ru ru … tu ru ru tu ru ru
Mujhko hui na khabar
I didn’t even realise what was happening.
Chori chori chup chup kar
Secretly, quietly, without anyone knowing.
Mujhko hui na khabar
I didn’t even realise what was happening.
Chori chori chup chup kar
Secretly, quietly, without anyone knowing.
Kab pyar ki pehli nazar, haai
When did that first loving glance…
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Mujhko hui na khabar
I didn’t even realise what was happening.
Chori chori chup chup kar
Secretly, quietly, without anyone knowing.
Kab pyar ki pehli nazar, haai
When did that first loving glance…
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Pyar ki pehli pehli
In love’s very first…
Is aankh micholi mein, haai
…game of hide-and-seek, oh my!
Pyar ki pehli pehli
In love’s very first…
Is aankh micholi mein
…game of hide-and-seek.
Bin soche ja baithi main
Without even thinking, I went and sat…
Naino ki doli mein
…in the palanquin of your eyes.
Ab lagta hai mujhko dar
Now I’m beginning to feel afraid.
Chori chori chup chup kar
Secretly, quietly, without anyone knowing.
Kab pyar ki pehli nazar, haai
When did that first loving glance…
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Bikhri bikhri zulfein
My hair is all tousled and loose.
Yeh behki behki chaal
And I walk as if I’m lost in a daze.
Bikhri bikhri zulfein
My hair is all tousled and loose.
Yeh behki behki chaal
And I walk as if I’m lost in a daze.
Haal yeh mera dekhenge
When people see me in this state,
Poochenge log sawaal
They’ll start asking all sorts of questions.
Ab jaaun main kaise ghar?
How can I possibly go home now?
Chori chori chup chup kar
Secretly, quietly, without anyone knowing.
Kab pyar ki pehli nazar, haai
When did that first loving glance…
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
Mujhko hui na khabar
I didn’t even realise what was happening.
Chori chori chup chup kar
Secretly, quietly, without anyone knowing.
Kab pyar ki pehli nazar, haai
When did that first loving glance…
Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!

Le gayi le gayi, dil le gayi le gayi
It stole my heart away, swept my heart away!
