Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to theeAaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of lifeAaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threadsJai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to theeJai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
Slowly Slowly Really I lost my lifeNach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
Spent my nights dancing on coalAkhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
I blew the sleep in my eyes with air from my mouth# Gin Gin Tare Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
I burned my fingers counting the starsAaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of lifeAaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threadsJai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to theeJai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..Chakh Le, Ha Chakh Le, Ye Raat Shahad Hai.. Chakh Le
Taste it, yes taste it, this night is honey, taste itRakh Le, Ha Dil Hai, Dil Aakhri Had Hai.. Rakh Le
Keep it, yes this is heart, heart is last limit.. Keep itKala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
(your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
(your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of lifeAaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threadsJai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Tu Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Kab De
Since when, yes since when, you have stopped at my lips.. since whenKab De, Ha Kab De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Kab De
Since when, yes since when, (your) eyes are closed.. since whenAisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Dono Hire # Hain Kya
Like this, Like this, sparkling eyes, Are they both diamonds?
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
Come come below the decorated tent of lifeAaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threadsJai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to theeJai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee(Note: This translation is contributed by our reader Mr. Vishal Purohit from Hyderabad, India.

There is a frenzy on websites claiming to give free MP3 downloads. Why download free? Fight piracy and buy original?

It’s a pity Bollywood movies are few knowed by brazilians but I think Slumdog Millionaire was made as a Hollywood standard, I’m wrong? Or there are many others great India movies that can I will see? I am very interested in this marvelous and ancient country. Congratulations.
