Barkha (1959) Movie’s Tadpaoge Tadpa Lo Lyrics Translate to English
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Hum Tadp-Tadp Kar Bhi Tumhare Geet Gayenge
Even in my deepest suffering, I will continue to sing songs of you.
Thukraoge? Thukra Lo
You want to cast me aside? Then go ahead and spurn me.
Hum Thokar Kha Kar Bhi Tumhare Dar Pe Aayenge
Even after being rejected, I will still find my way to your doorstep.
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Kab Tak Janega Na Chanda Dard Chakori Ka?
How long will the moon ignore the pain of the ‘Chakori’ bird, which is said to long only for it?
Kab Tak Janega Na Chanda Dard Chakori Ka?
For how long will he fail to see the anguish of his devoted admirer?
Ek Din To Ye Phool Sunega Bulbul Ka Shikwa
One day, the flower will have to hear the grievances of the ‘Bulbul’ bird, its faithful songbird.
Bewafa Pyar Mein Kab Talak Ye Parda?
In a one-sided love, how long can this pretense last?
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Hum Tadp-Tadp Kar Bhi Tumhare Geet Gayenge
Even in my deepest suffering, I will continue to sing songs of you.
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Jinke Khatir Hum Phirte Hain Deewane Ban Ke
The one for whom I wander around like a woman madly in love,
Jinke Khatir Hum Phirte Hain Deewane Ban Ke
The very one who has me roaming in a state of obsession,
Wo Humse Jab Milte Hain To Begane Ban Ke
Is the same one who treats me like a stranger whenever we meet.
Ishq Mein Rah Gaye Hum Fasane Ban Ke
In this love, I have been reduced to nothing more than a cautionary tale.
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Hum Tadp-Tadp Kar Bhi Tumhare Geet Gayenge
Even in my deepest suffering, I will continue to sing songs of you.
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Dekh Nishane Par Rakha Hai Kab Se Maine Dil
Look, my heart has been in your line of sight for so long.
Dekh Nishane Par Rakha Hai Kab Se Maine Dil
See how I have placed my heart directly in your aim.
Teer Chala, Kya Soch Raha Hai? O Bhole Qatil
Release your arrow, what are you thinking? Oh, my innocent killer.
Kya Pata Maut Hi Pyar Ki Ho Manzil
Who knows, perhaps death itself is the final destination of this love.
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
Hum Tadp-Tadp Kar Bhi Tumhare Geet Gayenge
Even in my deepest suffering, I will continue to sing songs of you.
Thukraoge? Thukra Lo
You want to cast me aside? Then go ahead and spurn me.
Hum Thokar Kha Kar Bhi Tumhare Dar Pe Aayenge
Even after being rejected, I will still find my way to your doorstep.
Tadpaoge? Tadpa Lo
So you want to make me suffer? Go on and torment me.
