Lyrics: here
A marriage song with super bright lyrics and fast paced music. Priety Zinta's acting in the end is memorable, as she hugs Hrithik Roshan, his childhood friend whom she is meeting after ten years :) The translation below is mostly copied from HindiLyrics.
Another wedding song that is equally bright: Kawa Kawa Kawa (2001, Monsoon Wedding).
Roman Script
Aaye Ho Kis Bagiya Se? O-O-Tum!
Bhanware Ho Shyam Bhanware Khushiyo Ko Saath Laye
Mehdi Ki Raat Mein Tum Leke Saugat Laaye
Kaajal Ka Rang Laaye Nazrein Utaarne Ko
Baagon Se Phool Laye Raste Sanwaarne Ko
Mehdi Ki Chhao Mein Geet Sunayein Bumbro
Jhoome Naache Saaz Uthaayein Jashn Manaayein Bumbro!
Ho Bumbro Bumbro ...
Hindi
आए हो किस बगिया से ओ ओ तुम
भंवरे ओ शाम भंवरे खुशियों को साथ लाए
मेहंदी की रात में तुम लेके सौगात आए
ओ काजल का रंग लाए नज़रें उतारने को
बागों से फूल लाए रस्ते सँवारने को
आओ मेहंदी की छांव में गीत सुनाएं बुम्बरो
झूमें नाचें साज़ उठाएं जश्न मनाए बुम्बरो
हो बुम्बरो बुम्बरो ...
Translation
what garden do you come from?
Bumblebee, black bumblebee, you bring happiness with you.
On this wedding night you come bearing gifts.
You bring the color of kohl to ward off the evil eye.
From gardens you bring flowers to adorn our lanes.
Come, let's sing in the shadow of the henna tree, bee.
Let's sway and dance, play music, celebrate, bee.
O bumblebee, bumblebee, ...
Roman Script
Gori Hatheliyon Pe Khilte Ho Phool Jaise
Ye Rang Dhoop Ka Hai, Ye Rang Chhao Ka Hai
Mehndi Ka Rang Nahi, Maa Ki Duaaon Ka Hai
Is Mehndi Ka Rang Hai Sacha, Baaki Saare Jhoothe
Haatho Se Ab Mehndi Ka Rang Kabhi Na Chhote
O Bumbro Bumbro ...
Hindi
गोरी हथेलियों पे खिलते हों फूल जैसे
ये रंग धूप का है ये रंग छाँव का है
मेहंदी का रंग नहीं माँ की दुआओं का है
इस मेहंदी का रंग है सच्चा बाकी सारे झूठे
हाथों से अब मेहंदी का रंग कभी ना छूटे
ओ बुम्बरो बुम्बरो ...
Translation
in these fair palms; it has bloomed like flowers.
This is the color of sunlight; this, of shadow.
This is not the color of henna; it's the color of a mother's blessing.
The color of this henna is true; all others are false.
May this color never fade from your hands.
O bumblebee, bumblebee, ...
Roman Script
Jannat Ka Noor Leke Mehndi Ki Raat Aayi
Rukh Pe Saheliyon Ke Khwaabon Ki Roshni Hai
Sabhi Duaayein Maangie Rab Ne Kubool Ki Hain
Ye Haatho Ki Mehndi Hai Sham Ki Laali
Chand Sitare Lekar Aaye Raat Nirali
O Bumbro Bumbro ...
Hindi
जन्नत का नूर लेके मेहंदी की रात आई
रुख पे सहेलियों के ख्वाबों की रोशनी है
सभी दुआएं मांगी रब ने कुबूल की है
ये हाथों की मेहंदी है या शाम की लाली
चांद सितारे लेकर आए रात निराली
ओ बुम्बरो बुम्बरो ...
Translation
this night of henna has come lit by a heavenly light.
On the faces of the bride's friends is the glow of dreams.
They all asked for blessings, which the Lord gladly gave.
Is this henna on our hands, or the dark red glow of evening?
In the dark red light of evening the moon and stars have emerged.
O bumblebee, bumblebee, ...
