Bahaanay Lyrics English Translation by Shashaa Tirupati | Valter Soosalu
Shashaa Tirupati describes fragile moments that drift away like delicate ‘pashmina’ wool threads. She talks about receiving punishments from her partner yet finding comfort there. The artist acknowledges that if the relationship were easy, its true value would have been less.
Kaise ajeeb se bahaanayWhat strange excuses,
Karta yeh dil kabhi kabhithis heart makes sometimes.
Jitne qareeb faasle honThe closer the distance becomes,
Hai haarna mujhe, tujhse hithe more I’ve to lose only to you.
Kaise ajeeb se iraadayWhat strange intentions,
Karta yeh dil kabhi kabhithis heart makes sometimes.
Jitne qareeb faasle honThe closer the distance becomes,
Hai haarna mujhe, tujhse hithe more I’ve to lose only to you.
Oh saanjh ke saaye seFrom the shadows of the evening,
Pashmina dhaagay selike delicate ‘pashmina’ wool threads,
Hain naazuk pal yehthese moments are so fragile,
Beh jaayein sabar meinthey drift away in my patience.
Kaise kinaara phir na milay humeinI wonder if we’ll ever find the shore again.
Tujhse mileen mujhe sazaaeinI’ve received these punishments from you,
Rehta hun tang kabhi kabhiand I feel frustrated sometimes.
Jitni bedhangi se bayaan karNo matter how awkwardly you express it,
Tu chaahta toh hai mujhko hiyou truly do love only me.
Aasaan hotaIf it were easy
Gar nibhaanato sustain this relationship,
Toh shaayad, qadar bhi kam hotithen perhaps, its value would’ve been less.
Tu shiqaayatYou’re my complaint,
Tujhse bagaavatand my rebellion against you,
Hai raahat meri tujhme hibut my only comfort is found in you.
Oh saanjh ke saaye seFrom the shadows of the evening,
Pashmina dhaagay selike delicate ‘pashmina’ wool threads,
Hain naazuk pal yehthese moments are so fragile,
Beh jaayein sabar meinthey drift away in my patience.
Kaise kinaara phir na milay humeinI wonder if we’ll ever find the shore again.
Tujhse mileen mujhe sazaaeinI’ve received these punishments from you,
Rehta hun tang kabhi kabhiand I feel frustrated sometimes.
Jitni bedhangi se bayaan karNo matter how awkwardly you express it,
Tu chaahta toh hai mujhko hiyou truly do love only me.
