So here we are again it’s Sunday and time for Song Lyric Sunday. Our host Jim Adams has given us the prompt Yes or No.

Well this week I want to share one of my , not so well kept secrets. Okay you can all calm down its not Imogen πππ. No it’s my love of Bollywood and Indian/ Asian music. Where else can you get such happy music, storytelling, wonderful colours and dancing not to mention blinding teeth?
I am not feeling brilliant so I have gone for just one song. It’s called Yes or No. No real idea what it is about, but who cares it’s so happy!

“Yes Or No”
Haa tainu leke jaan nu main pind firda
Chad den saare kamkaar sohniye
Jeede ch ghumauna tainu din raat ni
Mehngi jee main lae leni ae car sohniye
Tainu leke jaan nu main pind firda
Chad den saare kamkaar sohniye
Jeede ch ghumauna tainu din raat ni
Mehngi jee main lae leni ae car sohniye
Wo oh oh, say yes or no
K mere naal pind chalegi
Wo oh oh, say yes or no
Meri mehngi car vich bahegi
Gal sun tainu ni main sach dasda
Tere kolo aundi good vibe sohniye
Tere dad kol tera hatth mang k
Tainu main banona meri wife sohniye
Gal sun tainu ni main sach dasda
Tere kolo aundi good vibe sohniye
Tere dad kol tera hatth mang k
Tainu main banona meri wife sohniye
Wo oh oh, say yes or no
K mere naal vyah karegi
Wo oh oh, say yes or no
Meri bebe di tu nooh banegi
Dinner karadu candel ni
Har week dava du sandel ni
Budget bujatt da fikar na kar
Baby everything I can handle ni
Dinner karadu candel ni
Har week dava du sandel ni
Budget bujatt da fikar na kar
Baby everything I can handle ni
Wo oh oh, say yes or no
K manak de naa rahegi
Wo oh oh, say yes or no
Bus manak manak kahegi
Love it , love it.
It almost seemed like the lyrics were written in a foreign language, sorry I am teasing, but I did hear “yes or no”. It is a happy song Willow.
I so love it Jim , I worked out he borrowed a car without the owners permission, proposed to his girlfriend, and she said yes β€οΈ
You wouldn’t happen to have an English translation, would you? I’ve tried using Google Translate and I get gibberish…
I haven’t but I will ask my friend Ritu if she knows what it means ππ
Hi John my friend Ritu said it’s
Basically, he asks if sheβd go back home to meet his family, yes or no
Then would she want go marry him, yes or no,
And finally would she live with him forever, yes or no! Hope that helps βΊοΈ
Thanks to you and Ritu!
A pleasure John π
Great happy song, there, you’re right sis!
Basically, he asks if she’d go back home to meet his family, yes or no
Then would she want go marry him, yes or no,
And finally would she live with him forever, yes or no!
I can see my young nephew dancing to this … even if he didn’t understand the meaning. π₯°
Ah! But can you see me doing the same! I wanted to leave a comment on your post but I can never find the comment box. I really love Jon Anderson and and Yes and his work with Vangelis. I enjoyed your post π ππππ
Thank you … you often comment on other posts – weird that you don’t get this one. Maybe a WordPress glitch??? π
I am always disappointed not to be able to comment on your blog because I really like your blog π

Fun Willow! I love Indian dance. To me thatβs really happy too! βΊοΈπ
Yes indeed it is
I didn’t understand it, but probably didn’t need to. Nice sound.
Lovely isn’t it
It’s a lovely happy song π
Different!!
When they are beautiful, they are insanely gorgeous… both the men and the women. I love when it’s the big productions in the traditional dress… but this passes too π
It’s just magical, belies the truth of life… But we all need some escapism πππ
Truly. And would go well with my last post! π§‘π§‘π§‘
I shall be checking them out π
Very nice choice I like it
Laugh On
Thank you it’s fun isn’t it π
Yes But I’d like to know what he is singing
Okay, I worked out he sole a car without the owners knowledge and took her out, took her shopping, then to dinner then asked her to Marry him. I asked my friend Ritu what the words mean (she is Indian) she said ” Basically, he asks to take her home to meet his family Yes or No, then will she marry him Yes or No, then finally would she live with him forever Yes or No” π does that help?
sure
What a wonderful song and very romantic proposal! The steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car. LOL! Nice car though! π
Yes it’s a right hand drive car and India is a left hand drive country, like the UK , so I didn’t really notice. Well spotted ππ
very romantic indeed!!
Thank you π
