Aye Rangrez Mere: Lyrics, Translation (Tanu Weds Manu)

Tanu weds Manu's Rangrez is a song I always wanted to Translate and post but somehow it never happened. Today once again I thought of starting but then Googled if anyone else had done it.

It was great to know that Krsna, who is the composer of the song has done this on his blog Krsnamusic itself. So here I post it, with double thanks to Krsna, for not just giving us such a wonderful song but also for trying his best to make people understand it in case they didn't. What follows is simply a copy-paste from KrsnaMusic.

Hindi
Aye rangrez mere, rangrez mere
ek baat bata rangrez mere
ye koun se paani mein tune
koun sa rang ghola hai,
ye koun se paani mein tune
koun sa rang ghola hai
ke dil ban gaya saudai,
aur mera basanti chola hai,
mera basanti chola hai,

English Translation
Oh dyer of mine, Dear Dyer of mine,
Please reveal your secrets divine,
What concoction have you created dear,
Of your colors and godforsaken water!
My heart’s all blue in love so profound,
My cloak’s soaked in saffron unbound…

Yoon hi/ Kitne Dafe (Tanu weds Manu) Lyrics, Translation

Kitne dafe dil ne kaha, dil ki suni kitne dafe
Waise toh teri na mein bhi maine dhoondh li apni khushi
Tu jo gar haan kahe toh baat hogi aur hi
Dil hi rakhne ko kabhi, upar upar se sahi keh de na haan
Keh de na yun hi
Kitne dafe dil ne kaha, dil ki suni kitne dafe

How many times did the heart say, how many times did I listen to the heart,
though I've found my happiness even in your no,
If you say yes, it'll be a different type of (real) happiness,
Just to make me happy say yes just on the surface,
say just like that,
How many times did the heart say, how many times did I listen to the heart..
