      Can anyone provide me with the lyrics and an English translation of “Jhooth Bole” from Raj Kapoor’s film “Bobby?”

      Lata:
      Jhoot bole kauva kaate, kaale kauve se darriyo
      If you tell a lie, the crow will bite you; beware of the black crow!
      Main maike chali jaaoongi tum dekhte rahiyo
      I’ll go back to my mother’s; just you watch.

      Shailendra:
      Tu maike chali jaayegi
      If you go back to your mother’s,
      Main danda lekar aaoonga -2
      I’ll come with a stick
      Lata:
      Tu danda lekar aayega
      If you come with a stick,
      Main kue mein gir jaaoongi -2
      I’ll fall into the well.

      Shailendra:
      Main rassi se khichwaaoonga
      I’ll drag you up with a rope.
      Lata:
      Main ped pe chadh jaaoongi
      I’ll climb up a tree!
      Shailendra:
      Main aari se katwaaoonga
      I’ll cut it down with a saw.
      Lata:
      Pyaar kare aari chalwaaye, aise aashiq se darriyo
      He falls in love and brings out a saw — be afraid of this sort of lover!
      Main maike chali jaaoongi, tum dekhte rahiyo
      I’ll go back to my mom’s, just watch!

      Shailendra:
      Tum maike chali jaayegi
      If you go back to your mom’s,
      Main dooja byaah rachaaoonga -2
      I’ll marry someone else.
      Lata:
      Tu dooja byaah rachaayega
      If you marry again,
      Haaye meri sautan laayega
      oh you’ll bring me my co-wife(also: rival)!
      Main maike nahin jaaoongi, main maike nahin jaaoongi
      I won’t go to my mom’s house; I won’t go.

      Main saaton vachan nibhaaoongi arre maike nahin jaaoongi
      I’ll keep faith with the seven vows; oh, I won’t go back to mom’s.

      Shailendra:
      Jhoot bole kauva kaate, kaale kauve se darriyo
      May the crow bite you if you tell a lie; beware the black crow!
      Main teri sautan laaoonga tum dekhti rahiyo -I’ll bring you your co-wife; just watch!

      I am going to delete the other thread you have created for the translation of 'Jhoot bole', since it is already on here… Smile
