DOPE: "Dil Khol Ke Let's Rock" from "We Are Family" (2010)

This week's post comes from the recent Hindi movie "We Are Family", which is inspired by the Julia Roberts, Susan Sarandon film "Step Mom".... And if you cried for that movie, you will be DEVASTATED by the Hindi film version! LOL

Fortunately, the song I'm sharing is from a more upbeat time in the film. So I hope you will enjoy a pregnant Kajol, Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Rampal in "Dil Khol Ke Let's Rock". The lyrics with English translations are courtesy of BollyMeaning.com.



Mujhe nahi pata main kya gaaungi
I don't know what will I sing
Ulte seedhe lafzon se banaungi
Will create it with random words
Mann mein jo aaye keh jaaungi
Whatever comes to my mind I'll say
Chalo hato pare naacho dil khol ke let's rock, helloji let's rock
Move-move away-dance whole heartedly let's rock, hello sir let's rock
O main toh bhool gayi phir kya wordings the
O I forgot what were the words,
something something jailhouse rock
something something Jailhouse Rock..

Darr kis baat ka, raat jo hui
What to fear from if it's night
Roshan zindagi, taaron se hui
Life is lighted with the stars now
Zindagi ke pyaare lamhon aane waale saare palon se main toh khul ke yoon mil jaungi
With the lovely moments of life, with all the moments to come, I'll mix up openly
Teri baat mein dum toh hai bada
There is a good point in what you said
Khushiyon ka samaa, gham se hai bada
Time of happiness is more important than sadness
Jo bhi karo aaj karo, khwaab poore aaj karo, yahan kal kisne dekha hai ji
Whatever you do, do it today, fulfill your dreams today, who has seen tomorrow here..

Mujhe nahi pata main kya gaaunga
I don't know what I'll sing,
Teri baaton ko hi dohraunga
Will only repeat what you said
Iss se achcha ab kya gaunga
What better will I sing
Tune bhi kya baatein kahi hass bol ke let's rock, yo mamma let's rock
What a (beautiful/true) thing you said, talk, laugh, and let's rock..
O main toh bhool gaya phir kya wordings the
O I forgot what were the words
something something jailhouse rock
something something Jailhouse rock..

O jaan ruko, zara, Suno, zara,
O love stop for a while, listen for a while
O meri jaan-e, jaana, Maine, maana,
O my dear love, I agree
Mera aana, bhi suhana
My coming is also good,
Sama sama hai deewana
Time is mad (in a good sense)

O pehlu yeh naya, bilkul bhi nahi
This is not a new aspect at all
Tumne gaur se dekha hi nahi
You didn't see carefully
Gungunana aata nahi, taal se bhi naata nahi
You don't know how to hum, (you have) no relation with rhythm
Phir bhi dil se main to jhoomungi
Still I'll dance with my heart
Wah kya shaam hai, khushiyon se saji
Wow what an evening it is, decorated with happiness
Dono haath se, taali jo baji
Like a clap with both the hands
Haan tere sang naachungi main
yeah I'll dance with you
Tere sang gaaungi main
I'll sing with you
Tere kadmon pe main chalungi
I'll walk in your footsteps..

Mujhe nahi pata main kya gaaungi
I don't know what will I sing
Ulte seedhe lafzon se banaungi
Will create it with random words
Mann mein jo aaye keh jaaungi
Whatever comes to my mind I'll say
Chalo hato pare naacho dil khol ke let's rock, boloji let's rock
Move-move away-dance whole heartedly let's rock, say let's rock
O main toh bhool gayi phir kya wordings the
O I forgot what were the words,
something something jailhouse rock..
something something Jailhouse Rock..

DOPE: "Yeh Ladka Hai Allah" from "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham" (2001)

This week's DOPE post is the highlight of a feel-inducing Hindi movie. And some of you who are familiar with Hindi Movies, you may be wondering if this is obvious. It's not. Really. LOL

I was lucky today, because I managed to find a clip with the English subtitles included. So I hope you all will enjoy two of my faves, Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan in "Yeh Ladka Hai Allah".

DOPE: "Des Rangila" from "Fanaa" (2006)

This week I thought I would share another beautiful song from Fanaa, showcasing the insanely brilliant Kajol.  I hope you enjoy "Des Rangila" with the lyrics with English translation courtesy of BollyWhat?

DOPE: "Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main" from "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (1995)

In honor of the 17th birthday of "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (This past Saturday, October 20th), today's DOPE post is probably the most catchiest tune from the film. This week's post is also very special, and is dedicated to the memory of Mr. Yash Chopra, who passed away this weekend. Anyone who has ever rented or viewed a Hindi film under the YRF banner has this passionate man to thank for the (no doubt) beautiful film they watched. Condolences and gratitude for the Chopra family for allowing us to remember and share our love with them.

This song is always on heavy rotation here at Casa di Miss Moon, and is liked a great deal by my family, especially my new fur baby (named after the star of the film, Kajol). The Hindi lyrics of the song are courtesy of STLyrics.com, and the English translations are courtesy of my DVD, remote control, and nifty typing skills! :)

Zara Sa Jhoom Loon Main

May I have a jig?

Arre Na Re Na Re Na 

Oh No!

Tujhko Apna Sajan 

Making love to you.

Hua Nahin Ye Pehle Kabhi

I'm a handsome young man

Tujhe Gale Laga Loon Aa

Come into my embrace 

Palkhon Mein Bitha Loon Aa 

Let me hold you in my eyes

Ho Gaya Mujhe Nasha 

Oh, I'm drunk

Shah Rukh's Facial Expressions.... Priceless!

DOPE: "Jee Le" from "U Me aur Hum" (2008)

It's the first week in October, and of course, I am sharing another fabulous Hindi film scene! Today's song choice comes from quite possibly the most romantic film I've seen in a very long time. This movie will really make you strive to have a love as strong as our hero and heroine, real-life husband and wife, Ajay Devgan and  (my play-cousin) Kajol. Lyrics with English translations are courtesy of Hindilyrics.net. I hope that you all will enjoy "Jee Le".


venga ya, ahogate en este amor
Come right now, drown in this love.
muere si quieres, pero en este amor
Die if you want, but loving

hmm jinko jinko bhi milana hai likha, ishq milawayega
those who are written/supposed to meet, love will mingle them
dur durse dhund dhund ke, pas le aayega
finding from distances it (love) will bring them together
kahi bhi jake chupo, ishq wahi aayega
wherever you go and hide, love will come there
kitana bhi na na karo, uthake le jayega
no matter how many times u say no, it (love) will take away u by lifting
mano ya na mano, ye sari hi duniya isike dumpe chale
whether u accept or not, but the whole world run on it (love)
jee le, jee le, jee le ishq me, marana hai to ha mar bhi le ishqme
live in love and if you want to die, die in love

estoy enamorada, te quiero.., baila baila
I am in love, I want you.., you dance, dance

jate jate hum in palo ko bhi sath le jayenge
while going we will take these moments with us
bato bato mein jo bani hai wo baat le jayenge
the thing which is happened in all this happenings, will take this also with us
sara bhulakkad hai dil, ye bhul jaye agar
my heart has short memory, if i forgot
yaad dilana hume, ye paniyo kaa shehar
make me remember this city of water

ye pal kam na ho, kabhi khatam na ho,
this moment should not shorten, should never end,
ab dil kahi bhi chaley
let the heart go anywhere
jee le, jee le, jee le ishq me, marana hai to ha mar bhi le ishq me
live in love and if you want to die, die in love

¿Que pasa señorita?,
Señorita (Young woman), what's up?
venga y ahogate, ahogate, ahogate en este amor,
Come and drown, drown in this love,
muere si quieres morir, pero en este amor, baila baila
Die if you want, but loving. You dance, dance.
venga y ahogate ahogate, ahogate en este amor
Come right now, Drown.., Drown in this love.
muere si quieres morir pero en este amor
Die if you want, but loving

jab sahil pe hum pahuchenge to khidhar jayenge
when we will reach the beach/destiny, where we will go

apane apane ghar jayenge ya,
whether you will leave for ur home and me for my home
ho apane ghar jayenge
or will go together to our home
isi safar me se hi naya safar lenge hum
thorough this journey we will start new journey

jaha bhi bologe tum, wahi utar lenge hum
wherever you will say, i will drop there
gali bhi de do to, kabhi na chorenge, aise parenge galey
where you will say i will not leave it, like this i will follow you

jee le, jee le, jee le ishq me, marana hai to ha mar bhi le ishq me
live in love and if you want to die, die in love
ha mar bhi le ishq me
die in love

Jee lee...

:::drools::: Kajol-style for Plus Size Fashionistas

This may come as a huge shock to you all, but I am a HUGE fan of Hindi cinema. I know, I will give you a moment to let that startling revelation sink in! LOL

For me, the queen of Bollywood is Kajol. She is lovely, strong, real, and she acts her ass off. Most people have celebrities they consider "friends in their heads". For me, Kajol is more than a friend, she's family! I call her a "cousin in my head"! LOL

So when I decided to do a fashion post on cousin Kajol, I didn't have to look far to find a terrific outfit to recreate.

This dress is EVERYTHING!!! Blue? Check. Dramatic sleeve? Check. Sexy? Check. Here's my remix:

Dress: R&M Richards Plus Size Dress, Three Quarter Flutter Sleeve One Shoulder Beaded Cocktail Dress ($109.00, Macy's)

Earrings: Fringed Flower Earrings ($4.80, Forever 21)

Shoes: Nine West Hansel Pumps ($62.99, Zappos)

So friends? What do you think of this outfit? Leave a comment with how you think I did in recreating the look?

DOPE: "Dekho Na" from "Fanaa"

Wow!! I haven't done a DOPE post in a super-long time, huh?!? There was a time where I would be so stressed out because I couldn't find poetry and other things that I wanted to share for this particular series of Miss Moon's Musings. After a while, I decided that I could very easily let it go.... and trusted in myself that when inspiration would strike then I will take advantage. Thus... this post!

Most of you should know that I am absolutely cuckoo for all things Bollywood. I recently saw a film that sent me on an emotional rollercoaster... I sighed, I swooned, I raged, I laughed, I cried. "Fanaa" is dope as hell!! It's also streaming on Netflix, so check it out!

Today I am sharing one of the most breathtaking scenes from the movie, and the song that accompanies it. I hope you all will swoon along with me (Aamir Khan.... yum!!) to "Dekho Na". I unfortunately couldn't find a subtitled video on YouTube, so I am including the lyrics in Hindi and English (Because I'm fancy like that! LOL). Lyrics courtesy of BollyWhat.com.




yeh saazish hai buundo.n kii
The raindrops are conspiring

with my hidden desire.

Never again will the winds be so impertinent,
phir na dag-mag dag-mag ho.nge ye qadam
or these steps so unsteady.
saawan yeh siidha nahii.n khufiyaa baRa
This isn't a straightforward rain; there's something secretive about it;
kuchh to baraste hu'e kah rahaa
it's saying something as it showers down.
samjho na...
Try to understand it...

hawaa kuchh haule haule
The soft, gentle breeze
zubaan se kya kuchh bole bole
is saying something extraordinary:
kyo.n duurii hai ab darmiyaan

jugnuu.n jaisii chaahat dekho jale bujhe
Watch love, like fireflies, flare and fade away.

It's such a sweet difficulty; what can anyone do?
