(LYRICS WITH TRANSLATION) My love to this mesmerizing melody, made me create/compile a befitting video from south Indian songs. I hope you will like and appreciate my presentation.

"The lyrics of the song describe the dilemma of teenage adolescence of a young and shy girl who has grown up and becomes so jovial. She requests her childhood to depart and leave her for the snags of youth. Even her scarf gives her the feelings of cuddling. She is dreaming a beautiful life ahead and feels the ambiance so melodious all around her and wants to drench herself in the rain water".

One of the most melodious songs created by A R Rahman, in the beautiful and enthralling voice of Kavita Krishnamurthy for an unreleased movie Love U Hamesha. The more you listen, the more you get addict to the melody.


THE LYRICS WITH TRANSLATION ARE:

Only a poet of Anad Bakshi ji's calibre can describe such feelings of a teenage dilemma.

Ek Ladki Thi, Kitni Sharmili
I was a girl who was so shy

Ho Gaii Re MaiN Kaisi Rangili
But, I have now become so colourful

Naagin Ban ke, Muhj se Lipat Gaii, Meri Chunariya Nili Pili

My blue yellow scarf (chunri) has clinched me like a snake!


Ek Ladki Thi Kitni Sharmili
Ho Gaii Re Main Kaisi Rangili


Mere Bachpan Chod De BaiyaaN
O my childhood, leave (my arms) me alone

Mera Yovan Mera SaiyaaN
My youth is now my companion

Haath MaiN Us ke, Haath MaiN De DuN,
I want to offer my hands in his hands

Aagey Jeevan Bhool BhulaiyaaN
The life ahead is a mystery to me

Dil Ki GaliyoN MeiN Aaye Banjaarey
The pedlars have captured my heart, and

Bech Rahey Woh Sapne Kunwarey
They selling beautiful dreams of adolescence

CheRii Kis ne Bansi Pe Dhun Surili
Who is playing such a nice tune on the flute?


Ek Ladki Thi, Kitni Sharmili
Ho Gayi Re Main Kaisi Rangili


Chhan Chhan
Chudiyaan HaathooN Mein Khn Khn
The bangles are clinking in my hands

PaayaleiN RatooN Mein Chhan Chhan
and at nights, the anklets are jingling in my feet

Jal Gaii Re BarsaatoN Mein
Even in the rainy seasons, I am burning

Aa gaii Dil Ki BaatoN MeiN
I am trapped by feelings of my mind


Naam Ka Saawan BooNd BooNd Barsey
Though, it is rainy season, but the rain is only trickling

PathjaR Jaisa Yeh Mann Tarsey
My parched mind is yearning (for lot of rain)

Kaisi Badan Mein Aag Lagii Yeh
An unknown fire is raging in my body

MaiN To Aa Gayi Bahar Ghar Se
I have come out of my home

Kaarey Badra Tu Muhj Ko Bhigo De
O! Black cloud, please soak me

Doob JaaoN MaiN Muhj Ko Dubo De
I want to drown myself, please submerge me

Kaisi Pyaari Ruth Hai Yeh Meethi Surili
The ambiance is so sweet and melodious


Ek Ladki Thi Kitni Sharmili
Ho Gayi Re Main Kaisi Rang
