Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si English Translation
Hmm, Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si
There’s a girl, drenched and running around
Soti Raaton Mein Jaagi Si
Awake through the sleepy nights
Mili Ek Ajnabi Se
She met a stranger
Koi Aage Na Peeche
With no one before or behind her
Tum Hi Kaho Yeh Koi Baat Hai
You tell me, is this any way to behave?
Hmm, Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si
There’s a girl, drenched and running around
Soti Raaton Mein Jaagi Si
Awake through the sleepy nights
Mili Ek Ajnabi Se
She met a stranger
Koi Aage Na Peeche
With no one before or behind her
Tum Hi Kaho Yeh Koi Baat Hai… Hmm
You tell me, is this any way to behave?
Dil Hi Dil Mein Jali Jaati Hai
She keeps burning with longing within her heart
Bhigdi bhigdi Chali Aati Hai
She approaches me in a bad mood
Dil Hi Dil Mein Jali Jaati Hai
She keeps burning with longing within her heart
Bhigdi bhigdi Chali Aati Hai
She approaches me in a bad mood
Jhunjhlati Hui, Balkhati Hui
Sulking and swaying as she walks
Saawan Ki Suni Raat Mein
On this quiet monsoon night
Mili Ek Ajnabi Se
She met a stranger
Koi Aage Na Peeche
With no one before or behind her
Tum Hi Kaho Yeh Koi Baat Hai
You tell me, is this any way to behave?
Hmm, Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhaagi Si

Koi Aage Na Peeche
With no one before or behind her
Tum Hi Kaho Yeh Koi Baat Hai… Hmm
You tell me, is this any way to behave?
Dag-Mag Dag-Mag Lehki Lehki
Wobbling and swaying as she walks
Bhooli Bhatki Behki Behki
Lost, wandering and slightly intoxicated
Dag-Mag Dag-Mag Lehki Lehki
Wobbling and swaying as she walks
Bhooli Bhatki Behki Behki
Lost, wandering and slightly intoxicated
Machli Machli Ghar Se Nikli
She restlessly stepped out of her home
Pagli Si Kaali Raat Mein
Like a crazy girl into the dark night
Mili Ek Ajnabi Se
She met a stranger
Koi Aage Na Peeche
With no one before or behind her
Tum Hi Kaho Yeh Koi Baat Hai
You tell me, is this any way to behave?

Tan Bheega Hai, Sar Geela Hai
Her body is drenched, and her head is wet
Uska Koi Pench Bhi Dheela Hai
She seems a little crazy too
Tan Bheega Hai, Sar Geela Hai
Her body is drenched, and her head is wet
Uska Koi Pench Bhi Dheela Hai
She seems a little crazy too
Tanti Jhukti, Chalti Rukti
She bends, walks, and stops along the way
Nikli Andheri Raat Mein
She has stepped out into the dark night
Mili Ek Ajnabi Se
She met a stranger
Koi Aage Na Peeche
With no one before or behind her
Tum Hi Kaho Yeh Koi Baat Hai
