Chhaava Movie’s Jaane Tu Lyrics English {Meaning}
Jaane Tu Jaanoon Main,
You know, and I know,
Meri Jaan Tu Hi Thi Tu Hi Hai
my life, it was you, and it is you.
Ye Saansein Kya Saansein,
What are these breaths?
Inka Aana Jaana Yun Hi Hai
Their coming and going is just like this.
Meri Jan Tu Hаi,
My life, it is you.
Tu Thi Han Tu Hai,
It was you, yes, it is you.
Jane Tu Jаnoon Main,
You know, and I know.
Tere Hothon, Hothon Pe Vaade Mere
My promises are on your lips.
Tere Hothon, Hothon Pe Baatein Meri
My words are on your lips.
Chain Jaisa Tera Khayal,
Your thoughts are like a calming peace,
Dheere Dheere Aaye
coming slowly, gradually.
Mere Hothon, Hothon Pe Vaade Tere
Your promises are on my lips.
Mere Hothon, Hothon Pe Baatein Teri
Your words are on my lips.
Lafz Lena Mere Sambhal, Inme Tere Saaye
Please keep my words safe, as they hold your essence.
Dekho Kya Kya Bataayein Baaghi Hawayein
Look at what these rebellious winds tell,
Dheeme Suron Mein Gaayein, Ho
singing in soft tunes.
Jaane Tu Jaanoon Main,
You know, and I know,
Meri Jaan Tu Hi Thi Tu Hi Hai
my life, it was you, and it is you.
Ye Saansein Kya Saansein
What are these breaths?
Inka Aana Jaana Yun Hi Hai
Their coming and going is just like this.
Meri Jaan Tu Hai
My life, it is you.
Haan Ji Haan Tu Hai
Yes, indeed, it is you.
Kya Dard Hai? Kya Chot Hai?
What pain is there? What wound is there?
Tere Khayal Mein Hoon,
I am in your thoughts.
Mujhko Na Hosh Hai
I am not conscious of myself.
Tu Saath Hai Mere, Lahu Mein Hai Khushi
If you are with me, happiness is in my blood.
Maine Na Tootna,
I must not break (my promise).
Main Vaada Hoon Tumhara
I am your promise.
