Monta Re (Lootera) Lyrics, Meaning, Translation

Kaagaz ke do pankh leke, Uda chala jaaye re
(with wings as fragile as paper, its flying)

Jahaan nahin jaana tha ye, Wahin chala haye re
(Where it shouldn't go, it goes there only)

Umar ka yeh taana baana, samajh na paaye re
(It doesn't understand those complicated rules of ages)

Zubaan pe jo moh maaya, Namak lagaye re
(Those worthless attractions, luring it)

Ke dekhe na bhale na jaane na daayre
(It doesn't look back or front, it doesn't know its limits..)

Disha hara kemon boka
Monn-ta re..

(This silly/mad heart of mine, is directionless)

Fateh kare kile saare, bhed jaaye deewarein
Prem koi sendh laage.. Sendh laage re laage

(After winning all the castles, breaking all walls (obstacles),
it still thinks 'love' is a crime)

Agar magar bari bari,
Jiya ko yoon uchhale,
Jiya nahin gend laage, gend laage re laage

(Yes, no, this and that, it confuses itself with this dilemma,
not a heart, but it looks like a ball, that way)

Maati ko ye chandan sa, maathe pe sajaye re
(Confused, it thinks this sand is sandal, and puts on forehead)

Zubaan pe jo moh maaya, namak lagaye re
(Those worthless attractions, luring it)

Ke dekhe na bhale na jaane na daayare,
(It doesn't look back or front, it doesn't know its limits..)

Disha haara kemon boka
Monn-ta re..

(This silly/mad heart of mine, is directionless)

  1. Thanks for the translations :)

    I wanted to ask you about this translation thing, is it allowed to put translations on websites , is it not under any copyright infringement ?

    1. I don't think so. Lyrics / translation has always been there to push publicity of a movie. That doesn't harm the creator.

    1. U r right. Kemon in english means "how", boka means "foolish", monta means "heart is." The line means "how foolish the heart is!"

    1. "Pranpakhi mor uira jaay
      khancha theke...
      Peereet (Preet) boro jwala re.."

      My soul in its yearning, wants to leave this
      body (fly off)so as to reach out to my love.
      Oh how troublesome love is..
