The lead pair of Bade Achhe Lagte Hain has a conflict to resolve. Both Priya and Ram like it big, but will they ever get it, we wonder….
The title track of one of the most celebrated television dramas Bade Achhe Lagte Hain is truly romantic. The problem with this otherwise soulful song is that when it is translated into English, word for word, it not only gets lost in translation, but also presents many naughty connotations. Don’t believe us? Take a look!
Bade achhe lagte hain
Ye dharti ye nadiyaa ye raina (aur?)
Aur tumm!
Big I like
This earth, this river, this night (any more?)
And you!
Dheere-dheere haule-haule chupke se ab hoga
Kehte hain ye pyaar jise hum na jaane kab hoga
Slow-slow, sluggish-sluggish hiding it will happen
The thing we call love, don’t know when will that happen
Kuch jaana, kuch anjaana sa muujhko woh laage
Saari raina sapna banke woh aankhon mein jaage
Somewhat known, somewhat unknown like that he looks to me
The whole night by becoming dreams he stays awake in my eyes
Bade achhe lagte hain
Ye mausam, ye baatein, ye uljhan (aur..)
Aur tum…
Big I like
This weather, theses talks, this conflict (any more?)
And you!
