Kuttey’s Tere Saath Hindi Lyrics English Translation
Gulzar describes escaping through a tunnel into a ‘second life.’ His words frame shared laughter under ‘soft darkness’ as tears flow.
Tere Saath Jeena HaiI want to live my life with you.
Mere Saath Marna TuYou’ve got to die with me.
Tere Saath Jeena HaiI want to live my life with you.
Mere Saath Marna TuYou’ve got to die with me.
Aise Hi Aise HiJust like this, just like this.
Baarish Barasti HoWhile the rain keeps falling,
Baadal Garajte Hoand the clouds keep roaring,
Tu Paas Hi Rehnayou’ve got to stay close to me.
Halke Andhere Ki Chadar PeUnder this blanket of soft darkness,
Itna Hansana Ke Aa Jaaye Aansumake me laugh until the tears start to flow.
Tere Saath Jeena HaiI want to live my life with you.
Saath Jeena Hai Saath Jeena HaiI want to live together, I want to live together.
Mere Saath Marna Tu Saath Marna TuYou’ve got to die with me, you’ve got to die with me.
Chalna Tunnel Paar KarkeWhat if we walk through the tunnel,
Hum Doosri Zindagi Meinand we emerge
Nikal Jaaye Tohinto a whole new life?
Aisa Hi Lamha Ho JismeIf there’s a moment like this,
Ek Dusre Se Lipat Kewhere we’re wrapped in each other’s arms,
Pighal Jaayein Tohand we simply melt away.
Yoon Hi Sahi Poori KareinLet’s fulfill our heart’s desire
Jeene Ki Aarzooto live our lives just like this.
Mere Saath Marna TuYou’ve got to die with me.
Tere Saath Jeena HaiI want to live my life with you.
Saath Jeena HaiI want to live together.
