Are Re Are Yeh Kya Hua (English Lyrics)
Aa aa ha ha … tu ru ru ru
Aa aa ha ha … tu ru ru ru
La la la … la la la
La la la … la la la
Are re are yeh kya hua
Oh my, oh my, what has happened?
Maine na yeh jaana
I never realised it.
Are re are ban jaaye na
Oh my, what if it turns into
Kahin koi afsana
A love story of some kind?
Are re are kuch ho gaya
Oh my, something has happened.
Koi na pehchana
No one has recognised it.
Are re are banta hai toh
Oh my, if it’s meant to happen,
Ban jaaye afsana
Let it become a love story.
Aa aa ha ha … tu ru ru ru
Aa aa ha ha … tu ru ru ru
Haath mera thaam lo
Take my hand.
Saath jab tak ho
While we’re together,
Baat kuch hoti rahe
Let our conversation keep flowing,
Baat jab tak ho
For as long as we have things to say.
Saamne baithe raho tum
Keep sitting here in front of me,
Raat jab tak ho
For as long as the night lasts.
Are re are yeh kya hua
Oh my, oh my, what has happened?
Maine na yeh jaana
I never realised it.
Naam kya de kya kahe
What name should I give it? What should I call it—
Dil ke mausam ko
This changing season of the heart?
Aag jaise lag gayi
It’s as if a fire has been kindled
Aaj shabnam ko
In the dewdrops today.
Aaise lagta hai kisi ne
It feels as though someone
Chhu liya humko
Has gently touched me.
Are re are yeh kya hua
Oh my, oh my, what has happened?
Maine na yeh jaana
I never realised it.
Are re are ban jaaye na
Oh my, what if it turns into
Kahin koi afsana
A love story of some kind?
Are re are kuch ho gaya
Oh my, something has happened.
Koi na pehchana
No one has recognised it.
Are re are banta hai toh
Oh my, if it’s meant to happen,
Ban jaaye afsana
Let it become a love story.
Tum chale jao zara
Please, go away for a little while,
Hum sambhal jaaye
So I can pull myself together.
Dhadkane dil ki kahin
I hope my heart’s pounding
Na machal jaaye
Doesn’t grow too wild.
Waqt se aage kahin na
I hope we don’t get ahead of ourselves,
Hum nikal jaaye
And rush into things too soon.
Are re are yeh kya hua
Oh my, oh my, what has happened?
Koi na pehchana
No one has recognised it.
Hum mein tum mein kuch toh hai
There is definitely something between us.
Kuch nahin hai kya
Or is there really nothing?
Aur kuch ho jaaye toh
What if something more happens?
Kuch yakeen hai kya
Would that make you believe it?
Dekh lo yeh dil jahan tha
Look and see if the heart is still
Yeh wahin hai kya
Where it used to be.
Are re are yeh kya hua
Oh my, oh my, what has happened?
Maine na yeh jaana
I never realised it.
Are re are ban jaaye na
Oh my, what if it turns into
Kahin koi afsana
A love story of some kind?
Are re are kuch ho gaya
Oh my, something has happened.
Koi na pehchana
No one has recognised it.
Are re are banta hai toh
Oh my, if it’s meant to happen,
Ban jaaye afsana
Let it become a love story.
La la la … la la la
La la la … la la la
