Jai Govinda Jai Gopala Lyrics Translation

Movie: Bullett Raja
Music: Sajid Wajid
Lyrics: Shabbir Ahmed
Singer: Neeraj Shridhar

Banda hoon main to desi
Aadat meri bidesi
Main sabka band baja ke
Chhoomantar ho jaaun

I'm a country guy,
but my habit is foreign,
Having played the band of everyone
[that is, having beaten everyone]
I get going..

Sun le o mere bandhu
Sun le o mere bhai
Uski sharan mein hai, sabki bhalaai..

Listen O my brother,
Listen O my brother,
In his shelter there is everyone's benefit

[Bandhu is more Sanskrit oriented while Bhai is regular Hindi. Both words mean the same thing, brother.]

Ishq mein jap lo sab ye maala
Hare Govinda, Hare Gopala
Jai Govinda Jai Gopaala
Ishq mein jap lo sab ye maala

In love, everyone chant with this garland,
Hare Govinda, Hare Gopala
Hail Govinda, Hail Gopala,
In love, everyone chant this garland..

[Govinda and Gopala both mean Krishna, so Hare Govinda and Hare Gopala mean Hare Krishna only.]

It's so cool
It's so beautiful
Just swing it
C'mon sing it
And jap lo jap lo maala

[Maala japna is to chant something with the help of beads, which help keep the count.]

Meri har move aisi
Samajh paaye na koi
Ho jaaun gul main jhat se
Palak jhapke jo koi
Misaal-e-yaar ki main
Misaalon ko palat dun
Sau pardon se nikaalun
Chhipa jo raaz koi

Every move of mine is such
that no one understood,
I go missing in a moment,
when someone blinks..
I change the examples of
the best possible beloved..
[that is, I myself am/can become the best possible beloved one can ask for]
If some secret is hidden behind a hundred veils,
I bring it out..

Meri maaya, meri kaaya
Samajh mein tere kya aayi

My Maya, my body,
where have you understood it!

Sun le o mere bandhu
Sun le o mere bhai
Uski sharan mein hai, sabki bhalaai!

Ishq mein jap lo sab ye maala
Hare Govinda, Hare Gopala

Meri baaton mein jaadu, hai atitude rangeela
Koi naa jaan paaye Meri ye prem leela
Meri to baansuri ka jagat mein bolbaala
Hazaaron Gopiyon ka banaa main nandlala

There is magic in my talks, my attitude is colorful,
Nobody can understand this love story of mine..
The influence of my flute is there in the entire world,
I became the Krishna of thousands of Gopis..

Meri maya, meri kaaya
Samajh mein tere kya aayi
Sun le o mere bandhu
Sun le o mere bhaai
Uski sharan mein hai sabki bhalaai..
Ishq mein jap lo sab ye maala
Hare Govinda, Hare Gopala..

Jai Govinda Jai Gopala
Ishq mein jap lo sab ye mala
Jai Govinda Jai Gopala
Ishq mein jap lo sab ye mala
