Lyrics w/ English translation:
Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
(VICTORY!,VICTORY!,VICTORY!,OH VICTORY!)
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
(BIT BY BIT I TRULY DIED EACH DAY..)
Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
(SPENT THE NIGHTS DANCING ON HOT COALS..)
Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
(I BLEW AWAY THE SLEEP IN MY EYES..)
Gin Gin Tare Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
(I BURNT MY FINGERS TRYING TO TOUCH THE STARS..)
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
[The Spanish part]
Baila! Baila!
(Dance! Dance!)
Ahora conmigo, tu baila para hoy
(Now with me, you dance for today)
Por nuestro dia olvidas,
(For our day, just forget..)
los problemas que sean
(whatever problems there may be)
Salud!
(Cheers!)
Baila! Baila!
(Dance! Dance!)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY..OH VICTORY!)
Chakh Le Ho Chakh Le Ye Raat Shahad Hai Chakh Le
(TASTE IT, O TASTE IT, THE NIGHT IS HONEY, TASTE IT)
Rakh Le Haan Dil Hai Dil Aakhri Had Hai Rakh Le
(KEEP MY HEART, IT IS THE LAST LIMIT, YEAH KEEP IT)
Kala Kala, Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
(DARK, THIS EYELINER OF YOURS, IS LIKE A MAGICAL SPELL)
Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
(DARK, THIS EYELINER OF YOURS, IS LIKE A MAGICAL SPELL)
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTER BLUE SKY,.. VICTORY!VICTORY!)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY!..)
Jai Ho Jai Ho
(VICTORY!..)
Kab Se Han Kab Se Jo Lab Pe Ruki Hai Keh De
(FOR SO LONG, YES FOR SO LONG, WHAT’S BEEN KEPT FROM YOUR LIPS, SAY IT)
Keh De Ha Keh De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Keh De
(SAY IT, O SAY IT, NOW THAT YOUR EYES ARE SHOWING IT..SAY IT!)
Aisi Aisi, Roshan Aankhe, Roshan Dono heeray, Hai Kya
(SUCH, AH SUCH LIT-UP EYES (OF YOURS), BRIGHT AS DIAMONDS, AREN’T THEY? )
Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
(COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)
Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
(COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)
Jai Ho.. Jai Ho
(VICTORY!..OH VICTORY!)
Baila baila (Spanish)
(Dance! Dance!)
Jai Ho
(VICTORY!..)
Baila baila (Spanish)
(Dance! Dance!)
Jai Ho
