How many times does it happen when we hear a song and wonder what some of the words mean? Sometimes we find the tunes really catchy and we start translating in our minds! So this time we've come up with a game whereby you guess the lyrics of a song, be it from Hindi or a regional language or even another language and translate it!!

All you have to do is to translate the song in English

and post lyrics of a song (or parts of it) for the next person to translate! So let the fun and masti begin friends! I will post parts of a song sung by Kishore Kumar in gujarati........ see if you can guess the words!

Hun Amdaavaad no rikshavalo,
Navaso navvaaNu nambarvalo
Amdaavaad amdaavaad batavun chalo
Evi Ricksha Haakoon
Hairatwaan Mein Ooparwaalo
Amdaavaad batavun chalo
Hun Amdaavaadano rikshavalo,
Amdaavaad Amdaavaad batavun chalo
Richi road na adda jevi hotel ek vakhaNaay
Jyaan garam faafada garam jalebi nanamota khay
Ahin dalmaan padato kevo umadaa garam masalo
Hun Amdaavaadano rikshavalo,
Navaso navvaaNu nambarvalo
Amdaavaad Amdaavaad batavun chalo

I am a rickshaw wallah (autodriver )from ahmedabad
Nine Hundred Ninety Nine is my number (Nau Sau Ninyanve)
Come ( I will) show you Ahmedabad
I drive the rickshaw such,
The god above is amazed

Come ( I will) show you Ahmedabad
On Richi Road saw a hotel
where a fat dude

(mota nana) eats hot fafda , hot jalebi

LOL!! cant carry on.. this is truly the most non melodic translation ever ...

I had 2 songs in my life which I have always unreservedly loved without understanding a word..

Could somebody help me in understanding at least some portions of one of them

konjam nilavu konjam neruppu
ondraaga saernthaal enthan thaegham
konjam nanju konjam amutham
ondraaga saerthaal enthan kaNgaL
konjam mirugam konjam kadavuL
ondraay saerthaal enthan nenjam
chandralekha... chandralekha...

en kanavil evano oruvan
en iravil oLiyaay therivaan
vaan mazhai poal uyiril vizhuvaan
thinam naan virumpum valaiyil pozhivaan
thaen idhazhai ivaL thanthu maayaathu
ini paaRkadalil alai endrum oyaathu
vanthu naan maNNilae
yaen piRanthaen endra kaeLvi vaaraathu
ingu nee irunthaal oru tholvi neraathu
mangai un kaal pattaal
maNNum oru maNNalla
veLLai pon dhaeghathil
vaervaithuLi uppalla

senthaazhampoovukku muLLondrum kuRaiyalla
uLLondru vaiththaalum
unmeethu pizhaiyalla
peNNae un kaNNaaLan
piRaiyaeRi varuvaanae
viNkoNda meenellaam

I brand such individuals as languagists ( like racists)

. unko kadi saza sunaao ji Admin ammas

, on more than one counts pls

so here can someone traslate this pls:

Botany paatham undi Matinee aatam undi
deniko oop cheppara
History lecture undi
Mystery picture undi
sodara edi cheppara
botany class ante boru
history rustu kante restu melu

MI LORD I too have lot of objection to this game. It's more of regionualistism and one who started it and those who support, I brand them as REGIONUALISTS.

Let me get Natti song and post here. Let me see how you all translate then!!!! And yes. Himachal every dist has a different language. Let me try to get as many as I can.

Let's Get Lyrical!!!
