Cocktail 2’s Jab Talak Hindi Lyrics English Translation
Amitabh Bhattacharya tells a story of complete devotion through everyday objects and actions. The poet mentions dancing with a grateful heart and locking eyes with a beautiful lover. He translates a key line: ‘Our intoxicated youth is like gunpowder,’ suggesting passion ready to ignite.
Main naachun tab talak tu bole jab talakI will dance as long as you tell me to.
Hai thoda besura par dil mein taal haiIt’s a little out of tune, but there’s a rhythm in my heart.
Isko hum naachne se token kab talakHow long can we stop it from dancing?
Main naachun tab talak tu bole jab talakI will dance as long as you tell me to,
Tab talak jab talakfor however long that takes.
Nachchan aaj main shukar mana keI’ll dance today with a grateful heart,
Sohne yaar ton nazrein mila kelocking eyes with my beautiful lover.
Mainu lod kise di koi na saare jag di laaj bhula keI don’t need anyone else, leaving behind the world’s judgment.
Chal mood bana ke sufi thodi kar len bewakoofiLet’s get into a spiritual mood and do something a little foolish.
Chulhe mein jaaye mitra duniya bhar ki masroofiLet the whole world’s busyness burn to ashes, my friend.
Pairon ko par lagne se roken kab talakHow long can we stop our feet from taking flight?
Main naachun tab talak tu bole jab talakI will dance as long as you tell me to.
Ve ranjha aag hai jitni idhar lagiO my love, however much fire burns on this side,
Tu bhi maan le dugni udhar lagiyou must admit, it burns twice as bright on yours.
Donon dil hi barabar jhulas gayeBoth our hearts have been equally scorched.
Phir jaan de kitni kidhar lagiSo let go of measuring where it burns more.
Aj yaar de karke sadqe maine pyaale pyaale gatkeToday, devoted to my lover, I downed cup after cup.
Chal dekhen dil patri se aakhir kab tak na bhatkeLet’s see how long the heart avoids going off the rails.
Denge ek dooje ko dhokhe kab talakHow long will we keep fooling ourselves?
Main naachun tab talak tu bole jab talakI will dance as long as you tell me to.
Behki jawaniyan jaise barood hainOur intoxicated youth is like gunpowder.
Dekhen uthte nahin hain shole kab talakLet’s see how long it takes for the flames to rise.
Main naachun tab talak tu bole jab talakI will dance as long as you tell me to.
If you want to understand ‘Jab Talak’, the lyrics celebrate a love that ignores the outside world. Featuring Arijit Singh, this Hindi track creates a warm, romantic mood for listeners.
