Song: Lambi Judai, char dino ka pyar. Movie: Hero.

Hey vivi77 welcome to the forum is this from a movie?

its from the hindi film HERO. its a bit old allready but the film and the music are cool.

Bichhde abhi to ham bas kal parson
we separated just yesterday or the day before
Jioongi main kaise, is haal mein barson
how will I live in this condition for years
Maut na aayi teri yaad kyon aayi
death did not come, why did your memory come
Hay lambi judai
alas long separation
Chaar dinon ka pyaar ho rabba
the love was just 4 days oh God
Badi lambi judai, lambi judai
very long separation, long separation
Honthon pe aaye meri jaan duhai
on my lips come a lament or prayer, my love/life
Hay lambi judai
alas long separation
Chaar dinon ka pyaar ho rabba
the love was just 4 days oh God
Badi lambi judai, lambi judai
very long separation, long separation

Ek to sajan mere paas nahin re
one my lover is not close to me
Duje milan di koi aas nahin re -2
secondly there is no hope of meeting him
Uspe yeh sawan aaya -2
On top of that this month of Saawan has come
Aag lagaayi, hay lambi judai
it lit a fire, alas long separation
Chaar dinon ka pyaar ho rabba
Badi lambi judai, lambi judai

Toote zamaane tere haath nigode, haath nigode
the world has broken your worthless hands, worthless hands
Dil se dilon ke tune sheeshe tode, sheeshe tode
with the heart you broke the mirrors of the heart, broke mirrors
Hijr ki oonchi, hijr ki oonchi deevaar banaayi
you have made a high wall of separation, of separation
Hay lambi judai
alas long separation
Chaar dinon ka pyaar ho rabba
the love was just 4 days long oh God
Badi lambi judai, lambi judai
very long separation, long separation

Baag ujad gaye, baag ujad gaye khilne se pehle
the gardens are ruined, the gardens are ruined before blossoming
Panchhi bichhad gaye milne se pehle -2
birds separated even before meeting
Koyal ki kook, koyal ki kook ne hook uthaayi
the cuckoo, the cuckoo is lamenting
Hay lambi judai
alas long separation
Chaar dinon ka pyaar ho rabba
the love was just 4 days long oh God
Badi lambi judai, lambi judai
very long separation
Honthon pe aaye meri jaan, duhai
on my lips come a lament or a prayer, my love/life
Hay lambi judai
alas long separation
Chaar dinon ka pyaar ho rabba
the love was just 4 days oh God
Badi lambi judai, lambi judai
very long separation, long separation

Sorry for the late response. Things have been hectic at home and I have not been able to visit the forum. You are right that there are a few Punjabi words mixed in but essentially the song is in Hindi.

And then this month came is what they are trying to say. However, Sawan is the name of the month in question. It is also the month at least according to Bollywood movies when people are more romantic and seem to be missing their mates more. I don’t know if there really is a magical reason why you would miss your mate more in this month than in others. There is none according to me but in Bollywood movies they always talk about missing your loved one more in the month of Saawan. If I had to speculate I would say this dates back to the times when newly wed brides would return to their parents homes in the month of Saawan. It was traditional for the brother to visit his sister and bring her back to her parents home in Saawan and she would then be home for Raksha Bandhan which is on the Saawan Purnima (full moon) day. Thus creating a separation between the husband and wife so at night they long for each other and at least in movies sing romantic songs portraying how they miss each other. This is the only reason I can come up with for this sudden longing for each other in Saawan. This is what the singer seems to be portraying in this song when she says that on top of every thing else the month of Saawan is here and is lighting this fire. If you are interested you can find more information about Saawan and Raksha Bandhan etc. on my website. Look at the index on the left for Hindu Festivals and then go to Raksha Bandhan. The URL for it is http://madhu90210.tripod.com/index.html

The broken world crippling your hands may be one way of translating it. Since I am not the one who wrote the song I can only guess what the lyricists intent was. However, NIGODE is definitely worthless and since “haath nigode” is repeated they definitely mean worthless hands. Is it the broken world who has rendered your hands worthless or is it the world has broken your hands and made it worthless? Take your pick. With songs the lyrics are not always precise and exact translations don’t always work. The thought they are trying to convey is that she feels helpless due to the separation that the world has caused. In this particular situation and I know this because I have seen the movie, the hero Jackie Shroff was put in jail and that is why the heroine Meenakshi Sheshadri feels that society or the world is responsible for her helplessness.

Sorry the response got so long. Once again I apologize for the delay in responding to your question.

Madhuji mujhe maaf kijiye ga, main aapki site par bin bulaaye gayi. lekin main yeh kehna chahoongi ki aapka gaana mujhe bohot pasand aaya! naam gum jaayega

~* Taaveez Banaake Pehnoon Use, Aayat Ki Tarah Mil Jaaye Kahin *~

Khushi Ji:

aapne gaanaa pasand kiyaa, ye jaan kar mujhe prasanntaa ***. public website hai isliye aap ko nimantran kee aawashyakta naheen hai. mai to chaahtee hoon ki log wahaan jaayen. meraa gaanaa sunne ke liye naheen, balki maine jo kuch bhee sangeet ekatrit kiyaa hai aur yahaan par daalaa hai uskaa aanand utthaane ke liye. yaa phir jo kuch bhee mai apnee sabhyataa yaa reeti-riwaazon ke baare mei likh sakee hoon, usko parhne ke liye. agar aap log wahaan naheen jaayengee to meri saari mehnat aur koshish wyarth ho jaayegee. aap ne meri website dekhi, ye baat mujhe achhee lagee.

(I am happy to know that you liked the song. It is a public website so you do not need an invitation to view the website. I wish that people go visit the website, not to listen to me sing, but so that they may enjoy the music I have collected and uploaded. Or that they may read what I have written about our culture or customs. If no one visits the website then that means my hard work and attempts will go to waste. I like the fact that you visited my website.)

waise ye baaten shaayad ‘say something’ forum mei hum logon ko karnee chaahiye. kyonki ye baaten is gaane kee panktiyon ke baare mei naheen hain.

(Though perhaps we should talk about this in the ‘say something’ forum since this is not related to the lyrics of this song.)

Madhu
