English Translation of 'Lag Ja Gale'

Beautifully sung by Lata Mangeshkar, this is one of my favorites and goes down as one of the most romantic songs of Hindi cinema.

Song: Lag Ja Gale
Movie: Woh Kaun Thi
Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Actors: Sadhana, Manoj Kumar




Lag jaa gale ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho,
Shaayad phir is janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag jaa gale....
Come embrace me because we may never see such a beautiful night again
Or maybe we may never have such a chance again during this lifetime.
Come into my arms...


Humko mili hai aaj ye ghadiyaan naseeb se
Jee bhar ke dekh lijiye humko qareeb se
Phir aapke naseeb mein ye baat ho na ho
Shaayad phir iss janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag ja gale...
We are very fortunate for these few moments together
Lets look at each other closely to our hearts' content
Because we will never know whether fate may bestow this opportunity on us again
Or, maybe we may never have such a chance in this lifetime.
Come into my arms...


Paas aaiye ke hum nahin aayenge baar baar
Baahen gale mein daal ke hum rolen zaar zaar
Aankhon se phir ye pyaar ke barsaat ho na ho
Shaayad phir iss janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Please come close to me now because I may not be able to see you again and again
Please let me cry again and again in your arms now
Because I am not sure whether the tears of love will again flow
Or maybe, we may never meet again in this lifetime


Lag ja gale ke phir ye haseen raat ho na ho
Shaayad phir iss janam mein mulaaqaat ho na ho
Lag ja gale...
Come embrace me because we may never see such a beautiful night again
Or maybe we may never have such a chance again during this lifetime.
Come into my arms...

    Yesterday I spent some time with a prostitute. No we didn't have sex. We just hugged each other tightly all the time. This was the first time I got so close to a girl. We probably won't meet each other again ever. I almost feel like crying. I would remember her for the rest of my life.

    When I was in my teens I never understood the depth of such songs. But now, after it has been 2 months since I last saw my beloved, and without any idea whether I will see her again or not, the true meaning of "shaayad phir is janam me mulaqat ho na ho" pulls at my heart in a way no other line can

    Very beautifully sung haunting, evergreen melody. Lyrics are just too deep and romantic, so touching. 🙏🏼 The song writer expressed the feelings of true love so sweetly.
