Kuch To Bata (English Lyrics)
Kuch to bata arre kuch to bata
Tell me something, come on, tell me something.
Na … na … na na na
No … no … no, no, no.
Phone ka number, ghar ka pata
Your phone number or your home address.
Na … na … na na na
No … no … no, no, no.
Kuch to bata arre kuch to bata
Tell me something, come on, tell me something.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Phone ka number, ghar ka pata
Your phone number or your home address.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Tere liye haal hai yeh
This is what you’ve put me through.
Dekh mujhe tu yoon na sata
Look at me; don’t tease me like this.
Kuch to bata arre kuch to bata
Tell me something, come on, tell me something.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Phone ka number, ghar ka pata
Your phone number or your home address.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Kehna hai joh kaho jaldi jaldi
If you’ve got something to say, say it quickly.
Varna yoon hi raho, main to chal di
Otherwise, just stay as you are; I’m off!
Aise karo nahi hi bye
Don’t just go on saying hello and goodbye like this.
Aao peeye kahin chai bai
Come on, let’s go somewhere for a cup of tea.
Samjhaun kitni baar
How many times do I have to explain?
Yeh koshish hai bekaar
These efforts are pointless.
Sun lo mujhko hai inkaar
Listen, my answer is no.
Dil mein pyar hai albatta
There is love in your heart, after all.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Kuch to bata arre kuch to bata
Tell me something, come on, tell me something.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Dil ka kahoge jo kissa vissa
If you start telling me your heart’s little story…
Aayega mujhko to gussa vussa
…I’ll end up getting angry!
Jaane de gusse ke chakar bakar
Forget all that anger and fuss.
Aa chalke dekhenge picture victure
Come on, let’s go and watch a film.
Karte ho kyun yeh shor
Why are you making such a fuss?
Dekho karo na bore
Come on, don’t bore me.
Yeh dil maange na anymore
My heart doesn’t want any more of this.
Koi to milne ka rasta
There must be some way for us to meet.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Arre kuch to bata arre kuch to bata
Come on, tell me something, please tell me something.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
Tere liye haal hai yeh
This is what you’ve put me through.
Dekh mujhe tu yoon na sata
Look at me; don’t tease me like this.
Haan kuch to bata arre kuch to bata
Come on, tell me something, please tell me something.
Na na na na … na na … na na na
No, no, no … no, no … no, no, no.
