Saif Ali Khan sings about local liquor!

The actor’s song Daaru desi is intoxicating in Hindi but hilarious in English

The name of the movie is in English, but all the songs of Saif Ali Khan and Homi Adajania’s second venture together, Cocktail, are in Hindi. We wondered how the hit song Daaru desi will sound if it too was in English. The lyrics are quite funny and it was a lark to literally translate them in English. C’mon, if you can appeal to non-Hindi speaking viewers with an English title, you can try to get them involved with a properly translated song too, right? Our effort in literally translating the song into English had us in splits. What about you?

Chadhi mujhe yaari teri aisi

Jaise daaru desi

Khatti mithi batein hain nashe si

Jaise daaru desi…

Climbed me, my friend, yours in this way

Like liquor local

Sour sweet words are like a drug

Like liquor local

Ladkhadane lagi muskurane lagi

Bewajaah har jagaah aane jaane lagi

Tu mujhe main tujhe

Jo bhi ho dil me woh khul ke bataane lagi

I stumble began to, smile began to

Without reason every place I began to come and go

You me, I you

Whatever was in heart that I openly began saying

Waqt bhi sarfiraa sa lage

Bhaagta saa rahe har jageh

Waqt ko in dino sujhne hai lagi dillagi

Ho, yaariyaan gadiyaan jab hui

Aaj kal marziyon ki jagah se thhagi zindagi

Time also mad seems

Running as if every place

Time to nowadays has been thinking of love

Hey, friendship, vehicles when happened

Nowadays from freewill’s place has moved life

Saath hum jo chale

Bann gaye kaafilein

Aur koi hamen ab mile na mile

Mauj hai roz hai

Roke se bhi naa ye rukte kabhi silsile

Together we walk

Have become group

And any we now meet or not meet

Fun is everyday is

Stop and even then these don’t stop sometime this chain of events

Chadhi mujhe yaari teri aisi

Jaise daaru desi

Khatti mithi batein hain nashe si

Jaise daaru desi…

Climbed me, my friend, yours in this way

Like liquor local

Sour sweet words are like a drug

Like liquor local

Hai chadhi hai chadhi is kadar

Ghoomti jhoomti har dagar

Befikar befikar saa lage zindagi ka safar

Yaar ko yaar ki hai khabar

Pyaar se pyaar si baat kar

Yei jahaan hai jahan

Hum rahein ab wahin umra bhar

Hey climbed has climbed has in this way

Swirling dancing every alley

Without worry, without worry so seems life’s journey

Friend has friend’s news

Love with love talk do

This world, hey world

We stay now there for entire life

Dhoop ko thaam ke chal pade na thake

Fursaton mein rahe, kaam ho naam ke

Befikar befikar subhaa suhaanee ho khaali ho pal shaam ke

Sunlight catch and walk don’t stop

In free time we stay, work there of only name

Without worry without worry morning beautiful is, empty are moments of evening
