Baat Tere Mere Darmiyaan: Lyrics Translation (Inkaar)

Song: Darmiyaan
Movie: Inkaar
Music: Shantanu Moitra
Lyricist, Singer: Swanand Kirkire
Pictured on: Arjun Rampal, Chitrangada Singh

Darmiyaan, the first song from Inkaar, is quite like Khoya Khoya Chaand title track, the last track Swanand sang for Shantanu Moitra n Sudhir Mishra. However, the lyrics and music of the song are good and it does not lose its sheen despite the similarity and makes a good listen, especially if you're a bit interested in the lyrics. Here is a translation of the lyrics.

Kyun nigaahein nigaahon ko shikve sunaayen
Murda afsurda lafzon ke maani jagaayen
Jo hai khud se shikaayat kyun tujh ko bataayen
Kyun hum yaadon ke rangon se khwaabon ko sajaayen

Why do eyes tell their complaints to eyes..
Why do they evoke the meanings of these dead, sad words..
Why do they tell you the complaint they have against me,
why do I adorn the dreams with the colors of memories..

Ye kaisi baat badh rahi hai, tere mere darmiyaan
Ye kaisi baat chal rahi hai, tere mere darmiyaan
Kyun subah khil rahi hai, tere mere darmiyaan
Kyun shaam dhal rahi hai, tere mere darmiyaan

What thing is going high between you n me..
what is this talk going on between you n me..
Why is the morning blossoming, between you n me,
Why is the night ending, between you n me..

Kyun nigaahein nigaahon ko shikve sunaayen
Murda afsurda lafzon ke mani jagaayen

Baat sehmi sehmi si, teri ore thi chali
Fisal gayi kyun
Maine barf si kahi, Shola ban tujhe mili
Badal gayi kyun
Mayanon ke bojh se, Baat seedhi saadhi si
Kuchal gayi kyun
Baat aandhiyaan liye, hothon tak to aayi thi
Thithak gayi kyun
Baat koi geet ban, haule gungunaayi thi
Baras gayi kyun
Baat reshmi si ek, Sej pe bichhaai thi
Ulajh gai kyun
Hai bolo na, hai bolo na, ji bolo na
Hum ko bhanwar mein yoon chhodo na
Dhaai sa aakhar hai bolo na
Bolo na ji, bolo na ji, bolo na..

A thought, a little afraid, had began to walk towards you,
don't know why it slipped..
I said like ice, but it reached you like a fireball,
why did it change like that?
Why did the simple thought get ground
with the pressure of meanings..
The thing came to the lips with storms,
but why did it hesitate there?
I had hummed something like an easy song,
why did it rain?
A silken thought was spread on a bed,
why did it get tangled?
say, tell me, answer me..
don't leave me in a malestorm like that..
it's a word of two n a half letters (talking about Love), say it..
say it..tell me.. say it.

Ye kaisi baat chal rahi hai
Tere mere darmiyaan
Kyun subah khil rahi hai
Tere mere darmiyaan
Kyun shaam dhal rahi hai
Tere mere darmiyaan

Mehngai/ Aam aadmi ki jeb Lyrics Translation (Chakravyuh)

Movie: Chakravyuh
Music: Vijay Verma
Lyrics: Turaz
Singer: Kailash Kher
Arranger: Anamik
Starring: Abhay Deol, Arjun Rampal, Manoj Bajpayee and Anjali Patil

bhaiya dekh liya hai bahut teri sardari re,
ab to humri baari re na..
Mehengai ki mahamaari ne humara bhatta bitha diya,
chale hataane gareebi gareebon ko hata diya
Sarbat ki tarah desh ko gatka hai gatagat
Aam aadmi ki jeb ho gayi hai safachat

We've seen enough of your rule,
now it's our chance..
The epidemic of price-rise has made us lose everything..
they started to remove poverty, but removed poors itself,
they've drunk the country in gulps like a sweet drink,
and the pocket of common man is all gone empty..

bhaiya dekh liya hai bahut teri sardari re,
ab to hamri baari re na..

birla ho ya tata
ambani ho ya bata,
sabne apne chakkar mein
des ko hai baanta
are humre hi khoon se inka
engine chale dhakadhak
Aam aadmi ki jeb ho gayi hai safachat

Whether it's Birla or Tata,
Ambani, or Bata.. (whatever business it is)
everyone has cut the country
for their own good..
with our blood only,
their engine goes non-stop..
the pocket of common man is all gone empty..

ab to nahi chalegi teri ye rangdari re
ab to humri baari re na..

now this illegal tax will not go on,
now it's our chance..
