Lyrics

Arre ganga too kaahe jaaye pardes, kaahe jaaye pardes

अरे गंगा भी कहे जाए परदेस, कहे जाए परदेस

Hey Ganga should also be called Pardes, be called Pardes

Chhodake apana des, apana des

छोडके अपना देस, अपना देस

Leave your country, your country

Chhodake apana des

छोडके अपना देस

leave your country

Ganga chalee kaha kasam tod ke, hame chhod ke - (2)

गंगा चले कह कसम तोड़ के, हम छोड के - (2)

Let's go to the Ganges, break our oath, leave us - (2)

Piya mere piya

पिया मेरे पिया

Piya Mere Piya

Jaha piya waha mai, mere piya waha mai

जहां पिया वहा माई, मेरे पिया वहा माई

Jahan Piya Waha Mai, Mere Piya Waha Mai

Des chhudaaya pardes bulaaya

देस छुडाया परदेस बुलायः

Des chhudiya pardes bulaye:

Sandes yeh aaya mere naam

संदेस ये आया मेरे नाम:

The message came to my name:

Jaha piya waha mai, mere piya waha mai

जहां पिया वहा माई, मेरे पिया वहा माई

Jahan Piya Waha Mai, Mere Piya Waha Mai

Mai kya karu meree raam

माई क्या करू मेरी राम

Mai Kya Karoon Meri Ram

Jaha piya waha mai, mere piya waha mai

जहां पिया वहा माई, मेरे पिया वहा माई

Jahan Piya Waha Mai, Mere Piya Waha Mai

Aisa lagata hai kee, dil ke andar kuchh tut raha hai

ऐसा लगता है की, दिल के अंदर कुछ टूट रहा है

It seems that something is breaking inside the heart

Baabul ke aangan me meraa bachpan chhut raha hai

बाबुल के आंगन में मेरा बचपन छुट रहा है

I'm missing my childhood in the courtyard of Babylon

Mai khush bhee hu udaas bhee, nadiya me jaise pyaas bhee

मैं खुश भी हूं उदास भी, नदिया में जैसा प्यार भी

I am happy too sad, like love in the river

Mai kya karu meree raam

माई क्या करू मेरी राम

Mai Kya Karoon Meri Ram

Jaha piya waha mai, mere piya waha mai

जहां पिया वहा माई, मेरे पिया वहा माई

Jahan Piya Waha Mai, Mere Piya Waha Mai

Chaandee kee katoree sone kaa pitaara - (2)

चाँदी की कटोरी सोने का पिता - (2)

Silver Bowl Gold Father - (2)

Lade maiya meree mujhako saasu ne pukaara

लड़े मैया मेरे मुझे सासू ने पुकारा

Lade mya my mother-in-law called me

Laalee kaajal powder bindiya - (2)

लाली काजल पाउडर बिंदिया - (2)

Lali Kajal Powder Bindiya - (2)

Lade meree maiya mujhako sainya ne pukaara

लडे मेरी मैया मुझको सैन्य ने पुकारा

I fought my love, the military called me

Andekha anjaana sa ek sapana dekh rahee hu

देखा अंजाना सा एक सपना देख रही हूं

Saw a dream like an unknown

Apane mann ke darpan mukh apana dekh rahee hu

अपने मन के दर्पण मुख अपना देख रही हूं

I am seeing my face in the mirror of my mind

Yeh mai hu ya koyee aur hai

ये मैं हूं या कोई और है

is it me or is it someone else

Sanjog pe kiska jor hai, mai kya karu meree raam

संजोग पे किसका जोर है, मैं क्या करू मेरे राम

Whose emphasis is on Sanjog, what should I do my Ram

Ganga chalee kaha kasam tod ke

गंगा चले कह कसम तोड़ के

Let's go to the Ganges and break my oath

Hame chhod ke -(2)

हमें छोड के -(2)

leave us-(2)

Waha mai, waha mai

वहा माई, वहा माई

there mother, there mother

Jaha piya waha mai, waha mai waha mai

जहां पिया वहा माई, वहा मैं वहा माई

Where I drank, there my mother

,ऊ.....,हा हा......

,Ooo.....,ha ha......

Oo.....

Ha ha.......

About the movie

Summary

This film takes a serious look at the lives of Westernized Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) in North America (Whereas Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge was about NRIs with Indian hearts, Pardes is about Westernized NRIs.) and hence the meaning of the title – “foreign land”. Kishorilal is a successful businessman settled in America but still emotionally attached to his motherland – India. So the pardesi comes to India with his “American” son Rajiv to find a suitable ‘”Indian” girl for him. Kishorilal hopes his soon-to-be daughter in law will instill some Indian values in his extremely westernized son. He finds his daughter in law in Kusum Ganga (a pet Subhash Ghai name just as Chandni was Yash Chopra’s favorite for a long time) in the house of his childhood friend Suraj Dev. Mahima Chaudhary makes her debut as Ganga. To finalize the marriage he sends his son along with his foster son Arjun to India. Arjun plays Cupid and returns to America with Kusum and Rajiv. Arjun comes into the movie to get the American-boy to accept Indian values, and support the Indian-girl to accept American vices. The reverse does not fit into this movie. Arjun is portrayed as an Indian at heart and the hero of the film! All is hunky-dory till the true Bharatiya Nari finds out that her future husband is not a teetotaler. So, the heartbroken Kusum returns to India. Don’t conclude that it is the end of the Bollywood fairy tale. It is just the beginning as Arjun falls in love with his would-have-been bhabhi while playing Cupid and leads to a love triangle.
