DOPE: "Pardesi, Pardesi" from "Raja Hindustani" (1996)


"Raja Hindustani" is a very sweet movie I was fortunate enough to get from Netflix a few weeks ago, and fell in love with the story. It's about a rich city girl, who falls in love with a simple but big-hearted boy from the country. The movie also touched a warm spot in my heart due to what I still believe is quite possibly the funniest entrance ever to occur in cinema, Hindi or otherwise!! Johnny Lever had me cackling!! LOL

But what's super dope about this film (Aside from the infamous kiss shared by stars Aamir Khan & Karisma Kapoor!) is the song that I'm of course sharing as today's DOPE post. I fell in love with the song... and I fell in love with the scarily beautiful makeup worn by one of the performers.... I definitely need to try to recreate this, just to see if I can. I don't think I'll be rocking this look to the grocery store, though! LOL


So I hope you all will enjoy this week's song, "Pardesi Pardesi", as I hope you have enjoyed all of the beautiful Hindi film clips I've shared in the past few weeks. If you have a suggestion for a Hindi film you think I'll enjoy, please be sure to post a comment! And as always, my fanciness in including the lyrics in Hindi & English comes courtesy of BollyWHAT.com.



Mai.n ye nahii.n kahatii ki pyaar mat karna
I won't tell you not to love
Kisii musaafir ka magar etabaar mat karna
Some traveller, but don't trust one.

Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me
Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me
 
Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n mujhe chhoDke
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go and leave me.
Pardesii mere yaara, vaada nibhaana
Foreigner, my friend, keep your promise!
Mujhe yaad rakhna kahii.n bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don't forget somehow!

Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Mujhe chhoDke

Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me

Pardesii mere yaara, vaada nibhaana
Foreigner, my friend, keep your promise!
Mujhe yaad rakhna kahii.n bhuul na jaana

Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n mujhe chhoDke
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go and leave me.
 
Mai.n ne tum ko chaaha tumse pyaar kiya
I desired you, I fell in love with you.
Sub kuchh tum pe yaar apna vaar diya
I offered you everything I have, my friend.
Mai.n ne tum ko chaaha tumse pyaar kiya
I desired you, I fell in love with you.
Sub kuchh tum pe yaar apna vaar diya
I offered you everything I have, my friend.
Ban gaii jogan, mai.n ne priit ka jog liya
I became a (female) ascetic, I undertook the disciplines of love.
Na socha na samjha, dil ka rog liya
I neither thought nor understood; I contracted an illness of the heart.

Pardesii mere yaara lauT ke aana
Foreigner, my friend, return!
Tum yaad rakhna, kahii.n bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don't forget somehow!
Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me
Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me

Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n mujhe chhoDke
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go and leave me.
Pardesii mere yaara, vaada nibhaana
Foreigner, my friend, keep your promise!
Mujhe yaad rakhna kahii.n bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don't forget somehow!

Har phal merii yaad tumhe.n taDapaa'egi
Every moment the memory of me will make you toss and turn.
Mai.n jaguu.nga nii.nd tumhe.n na aa'egii
I'll stay awake, and sleep will not come to you.
Har phal merii yaad tumhe.n taDapaa'egi
Every moment the memory of me will make you toss and turn.
Mai.n jaguu.nga nii.nd tumhe.n na aa'egii
I'll stay awake, and sleep will not come to you.
ChhoD ke aise haal me.n jo tum jaa'oge
Such is the state you will go and leave us in!
Sach kahata huu.n jaan bahut pachhtaa'oge
I speak the truth, love; you will regret it greatly.
Pardesii mere yaara, mujhe na rulaana
Foreigner, my friend, don't make me cry!
Tum yaad rakhna kahii.n bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don't forget somehow!

Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go
Pardesii pardesii jaana nahi.n
Foreigner, foreigner, don't go 
Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me
Mujhe chhoDke
And leave me
Pardesi mere yaara vaada nibhana
Foreigner, my friend, keep your promise -
Mujhe yaad rakhna kahii.n bhuul na jaana
Remember me, don't somehow forget!
