99side’s Bata De Tu Lyrics {English Meaning} | MTV Hustle 4
Bata De Tu
Tell me, God,
Chal Bata De Tu
Come on, tell me.
Hai Kahan Meri Manzil Aur Khafa Main Kyun
Where is my destination, and why am I upset?
Kya Hone Wale Sapne Sach?
Will my dreams come true?
Ya Dafna Main Doon Inhein
or should I bury them?
Jo Kehna Hai Tu Kehte Reh
Keep speaking what you have to say.
Bas Laga Reh Tu Han Laga Reh Tu
Just stay with me, yes, stay with me.
Chal Bata De Tu Han Bata De Tu
Come on, tell me, yes, tell me.
Bata De Tu
Tell me.
Hai Kahan Meri Manzil Aur Khafa Main Kyun
Where is my destination, and why am I upset?
Kya Hone Wale Sapne Sach
Will my dreams come true?
Ya Dafna Main Doon Inhein
or should I bury them?
Jo Kehna Hai Tu Kehte Reh
Keep speaking what you have to say.
Bas Laga Reh Tu Han Laga Reh Tu
Just stay with me, yes, stay with me.
Bata De Tu Han Bata De Tu
Tell me, God, yes, tell me.
Bade Bade Sapne Dekhe
I’ve seen big dreams,
Nahi Apne Mere
not my own.
Jo Bhi Dafnana Chahte Hain Sapne Mere
Those who want to bury my dreams,
Paison Ke Pinjron Mein Sapne Qaid Hain
My dreams are imprisoned in cages of money.
Kate Jhoothe Rishte
I’ve cut off fake relationships.
Na Ki Jhoothe Rishton Ke Liye
not for fake relationships,
Kate Kabhi Nas Hai Maine
I’ve never taken anything.
Hans Ke Maine Dard Ko Jhela
I’ve endured pain with a smile,
Phir Dard Ko Hi De Diya Dard Maine
then I gave pain to pain itself,
Kyun Ki Mard Hoon Main Bey
because I’m a strong person.
Dhun Tu Hai Dhoondun Tujhe Noor Tu Hai
You are the melody; I search for you; you are the light.
Tere Bin Yahan Sukoon Kahan
Where is peace without you?
Tu Hai Mera Main Hoon Tera
You are mine; I am yours.
Phir Tu Rooth Ke Kyun Mujh Se Door Yahan
Then why are you upset and distant from me?
Tu Hai Mila Jab Bhi Gana Likha
Whenever I wrote a song, I found you,
Jaise Dhoop Mein Mujh Ko Chhanv Mila
like finding shade in the sunlight.
Tere Siva Mera Kaun Hai Yahan
Who else is there for me besides you?
Bata De Tu
Tell me, God,
Hai Kahan Meri Manzil Aur Khafa Main Kyun
Where is my destination, and why am I upset?
Kya Hone Wale Sapne Sach Ya Dafna Main Doon Inhein
Will my dreams come true, or should I bury them?
Jo Kehna Hai Tu Kehte Reh
Keep speaking what you have to say.
Bas Laga Reh Tu Han Laga Reh Tu
Just stay with me, yes, stay with me.
Chal Bata De Tu Han Bata De Tu
Come on, tell me, yes, tell me.
Bata De Tu
Tell me.
Hai Kahan Meri Manzil Aur Khafa Main Kyun
Where is my destination, and why am I upset?
Kya Hone Wale Sapne Sach Ya Dafna Main Doon Inhein
Will my dreams come true, or should I bury them?
Jo Kehna Hai Tu Kehte Reh
Keep speaking what you have to say.
Bas Laga Reh Tu Han Laga Reh Tu
Just stay with me, yes, stay with me.
Bata De Tu Han Bata De Tu
Tell me, God, yes, tell me.
Meri Maut Ussi Din
My death will be on the day
Jab Yeh Sapna Sirf Reh Jayega Sapna
when this dream remains just a dream.
Mera Sapna Ki Dharm Aur Jat Ki Wajah Se
My dream is that because of religion and caste,
Yahan Log Marein Kisi Ka Bhi Haq Na
People here don’t take away anyone’s rights.
Mera Sapna Ki Jal Jaye Woh Rap*st
My dream is that those who cause harm
Jisne Toda Uss Nanhi Bacchi Ka Sapna
and shatter the dreams of innocent people are held accountable.
Mera Sapna Ki Har Ek Gareeb Ke Pas Ho
My dream is that every poor person has
Uska Bistar Jahan Dekhe Woh Sapna
their own bed where they can dream.
Ghar Ka Main Bada Ladka
I’m the eldest son of the house.
Na Ki Ladka Main Bade Ghar Ka
not a boy from a big house.
Jahan Sapno Ki Kheti Na Hoti
Where there’s no cultivation of dreams,
Wahan Beej Samajh Ke Mujhe Dena Dafna
bury me there, considering me a seed.
Ho Jaunga Main Amar Uss Din
I’ll become immortal the day
Jab Bhi Khilke Main Aaunga Dugna
I bloom and grow.
Logon Ke Tano Se Nahin
Success comes from fighting dark nights,
Kali Raton Se Ladd Ke Hai Milti Safalta
not from people’s taunts.
Nahi Dekh Sakta Ma Ko Karte Huwe Kam
I can’t see my mother working,
Kisi Aur Ke Ghar Ka
in someone else’s house.
Nahi Dekh Sakta
I can’t see
Bap Ke Sar Pe Sala Karzon Ka Bojh
the burden of debt on my father’s head,
Aur Chalate Huwe Din-Rat Rickshaw
as he drives a rickshaw day and night.
Le Aaunga Main Wapas Woh Girvi Chain
I’ll get back the pawned chain,
Sambhalna Mujhe Haq Se Hai Ghar Ka Kharcha
I’ll rightfully take care of the household expenses.
Kal Suraj Nahi Ugey Nahi Hai Chinta
I’m not worried if the sun doesn’t rise tomorrow.
Kyun Ki Ghar Ko Roshni Dene Ki Main Rakhta Kshamta
because I have the ability to light up my home.
Jo Tum Mera Haq Bata Doge
If you show me my rightful path,
Main Sara Mera Waqt Luta Doonga
I’ll dedicate all my time.
Jo Kala Meri Sang Rahegi Tu
If my art stays with me,
Sitare Sare Todd Launga
I’ll bring down all the stars.
Main Chala Wahan Koi Nahi Chala Tha Jahan
I went where no one had gone,
Main Khada Jahan Koi Bhi Nahi Khada Wahan
I stood where no one else stood.
Main Aa Raha Hoon Jahan Se Koi Bhi Nahi Aa Saka
I’m coming from where no one could come,
Main Gira Jahan Khud Se Main Mila Wahan
I fell where I found myself.
Chal Bata De Tu
Come on, tell me,
Hai Kahan Meri Manzil Aur Khafa Main Kyun
Where is my destination, and why am I upset?
Kya Hone Wale Aapne Sach Ya Dafna Main Doon Inhein
Will my dreams come true, or should I bury them?
Jo Kehna Hai Tu Kehte Reh
Keep speaking what you have to say.
Bas Laga Reh Tu Han Laga Reh Tu
Just stay with me, yes, stay with me.
Chal Bata De Tu Han Bata De Tu
Come on, tell me, yes, tell me.
Bata De Tu
Tell me.
