Slumdog Millionaire

by IcyHot on February 15, 2009

It’s not often that I want to see a movie more than once in a theater, or that I head to Itunes afterwards to purchase the soundtrack but this Movie is that good!   I highly recommend you take the time to see this on the big screen.   It has already won numerous awards leading up to the Oscars.  It is pure magic.

From Danny Boyle, director of Trainspotting and 28 Days Later, comes the story of Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, who is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India’s “Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?”

Slumdog Millionaire Soundtrack

by IcyHot on February 15, 2009

For those of you that love the music from Slumdog Millionaire, and in particular, the Bollywood dance sequence at the end of the movie to the song “Jai Ho” by AR Rahman, Sukhvinder Singh, Tanvi Shah & Mahalaxmi Iyer, I have provided a translation of the lyrics from Hindi into English that I found on the internets. (which of course is a series of tubes)

Jai Ho

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
(Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee)

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(Come come below the decorated tent of life)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads)
Jai Ho, Jai Ho
[repeated twice]

Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
(Slowly Slowly Really I lost my life)
Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
(Spent my nights dancing on coal)
Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
(I blew the sleep in my eyes with air from my mouth)
Neele Tare Se Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
(I burned my finger with a blue star)

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(Come come below the decorated tent of life)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads)

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Chakh Le, Ha Chakh Le, Ye Raat Shahad Hai.. Chakh Le
(Taste it, yes taste it, this night is honey, taste it)
Rakh Le, Ha Dil Hai, Dil Aakhri Had Hai.. Rakh Le
(Keep it, yes this is heart, heart is last limit.. Keep it)
Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
((your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?)
Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
((your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?)

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(Come come below the decorated tent of life)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads)

Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..

Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Tu Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Kab De
(Since when, yes since when, you have stopped at my lips.. since when)
Kab De, Ha Kab De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Kab De
(Since when, yes since when, (your) eyes are closed.. since when)
Aisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Dono Bhi Hai Hai Kya
(Like this, Like this, lightening eyes, making both lightened, yes, yes, what?)

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(Come come below the decorated tent of life)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
(Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads)

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
