Jeena Hoga Lyrics Translation – Hits of Vishal Mishra Soundtrack
Javed Akhtar crafts a touching story of survival. The line, ‘This winter is like a poisonous snake, that’s bitten every part of your body,’ vividly describes the struggles faced. The lyrics encourage strength and determination against all odds.
Band Saare Dar Aur Door Door TakEvery door is closed, and for miles around,
Jaise Chha Gaya Hai Sannataa heavy silence has taken hold.
Sardi Ka Hai Zahrila NaagThis winter is like a poisonous snake,
Tere Saare Tann Ko Jisne Hai Kaatathat’s bitten every part of your body.
Band Saare Dar Aur Door Door TakEvery door is closed, and for miles around,
Jaise Chha Gaya Hai Sannataa heavy silence has taken hold.
Sardi Ka Hai Zahrila NaagThis winter is like a poisonous snake,
Tere Saare Tann Ko Jisne Hai Kaatathat’s bitten every part of your body.
Jam Gaya Nas Nas Mein Rag Rag Mein Tera LahooYour blood has frozen in every vein and every fiber.
Yeh Toh Teri Himmat Hai Jurrat Hai Ki Zinda Hai TuIt’s only your courage and bravery that’s kept you alive.
Paas Aa Rahi Hai Tere Us Maut Ko Hara DeDeath is closing in, but you must defeat it.
Mazboost Rakh IraadeKeep your resolve strong.
Haarna Nahi HaiYou mustn’t lose.
Tujhe Haarna Nahi HaiYou simply can’t give up.
Sun Le Koi Kehta Hai Thande Aansoo Peena HogaListen, a voice says you’ll have to swallow your cold tears.
Phir Bhi Tujhko Jeena Hoga Jeena Hoga Jeena HogaEven so, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live.
Jeena Hoga Jeena Hoga Jeena HogaYou’ve got to live, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live.
Lambi Raat Leke Aayi Thande HaathThe long night has brought its freezing hands.
Tujhe Aaj Dena Maat Woh ChaaheIt wants to defeat you today.
Tu Sun Yeh Baat Maana Hai Yeh MushkilaatListen to me, I know these times are hard.
Dar Nahi Jo Bhi Ghaat Ho ChaaheDon’t be afraid, no matter what trap’s been set.
Saans Thamne Ko HaiYour breath’s about to stop.
Jism Jamne Ko HaiYour body’s about to freeze.
Jaan Khatre Mein Toh HaiYour life is certainly in danger.
Raat Bitegi Sun Tu Hi JitegiThe night will pass, and listen, you’re the one who’ll win.
Sun Hausla Dil Mein Jo HaiListen to the courage within your heart.
Jeene Ki Hai Jo LaganIf you have the passion to live,
Kar Le Tu Poora Jatanthen give it everything you’ve got.
Sun Le Koi Kehta Hai Thande Aansoo Peena HogaListen, a voice says you’ll have to swallow your cold tears.
Phir Bhi Tujhko Jeena Hoga Jeena Hoga Jeena HogaEven so, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live.
Jeena Hoga Jeena Hoga Jeena HogaYou’ve got to live, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live.
Gahre Saaye Maayusiyon Ke Hain ChhaayeDeep shadows of despair have gathered.
Palkon Se Jaise Bhi Ho Tu Jhatak DeShake them off your eyelids, whatever it takes.
Tu Na Maane Jaa Sakti Hai Teri JaanDon’t believe that your life could just end.
Aise Shak Dil Mein Tu Na Aane DeDon’t let such doubts enter your heart.
Tu Nidar Hai Nidar Chaahe Jo Ho MagarYou’re fearless, truly fearless, no matter what happens.
Teri Himmat Na Toote KabhiMay your courage never break.
Josh Baaki Rahe Hosh Baaki RaheKeep your passion and your senses alive.
Dil Se Aas Chhoote Na KabhiMay hope never leave your heart.
Jeene Ki Hai Jo LaganIf you have the passion to live,
Kar Le Tu Poora Jatanthen give it everything you’ve got.
Sun Le Koi Kehta Hai Thande Aansoo Peena HogaListen, a voice says you’ll have to swallow your cold tears.
Phir Bhi Tujhko Jeena Hoga Jeena Hoga Jeena HogaEven so, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live.
Jeena Hoga Jeena Hoga Jeena HogaYou’ve got to live, you’ve got to live, you’ve got to live.
