Shaam dhale khidki thale (Albela) - translation

[Suresh Menon]

Now for some lighter stuff.. fun & frolic romance!

Albela was a hugely successful musical hit in those days. C. Ramachandra, who composed the music, and sand this song with Lata, was also known as Ramachandra Chitalkar (his "yeh zindagi usi ki hain" is immortal!)

The actors are Bhagwan and Geeta Bali.

She: shaam dhale khidki tale
tum seeti bajaana chhod do
He: ghadi ghadi khidki mein khadi
tum teer chalaana chhod do

She: roz roz tum meri gali mein
chakkar kyon ho kaat-the
aji chakkar kyon ho kaat-the
He: sachi sachi baat kahoon main
aji tumhaare vaaste, tumhaare vaaste
She: jaao jaao hosh mein aao
yoon aana jaana chhod do

She: mujhse tumhe kya matlab hai
ye baat zara batlaao
He: baat fakat itni si hai
ke tum meri ho jaao
aao aao, tum meri ho jaao
She: aisi baaten apne dil mein
saahib tum laana chhod do

He: chaar mahine mehnat ki hai
aji rang kabhi to laayegi
She: jaao jaao ji ya haan tumhaari
daal kabhi galne na paayegi
He: dilwaalon matwaalon par tum
raub jamaana chhod do

She: When the dusk sets in, below my window
Stop that whistling of yours
He: Standing at your window, every now and then,
Stop sending those arrows

She: Day after day, why do you patrol
In my lane?
He: Let me tell you the truth
It's all on account of you
She: Go away, come to your senses,
And stop coming and going

She: What do you want of me,
Can you make it clear?
He: The matter is simply this:
Just be mine
She: Stop bringing such thoughts
In your mind

He: I've toiled for four months,
It should produce some result
She: Go away, as your lentils

Will never get cooked here     (in Malayalam, ആ പരിപ്പ് ഇവിടെ വേവില്ല)

He: Stop imposing yourself
On lovers and admirers
