Jogi Mahi (EN)

Choreography context :

During Chandāga's first months, the principal goal was (and still is) to dance. For this purpose, Chandāga created a game : the Chandâgame.

Once every two weeks, the girls had to dance on a song chosen by a fan, and the other fans had to guess the song on the Facebook page. The person who guessed it had to chose the next song, and if he/she wanted to see a solo or a duet, they danced on the song, and so on.

It didn't work out well. After two months, they gave up on this project, because nobody would participate.

BUT they made great discoveries, like Jogi Mahi, on which Étoile performed her first solo :

Song context :

 Jogi Mahi is from the movie Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), starring Ranbir Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Minissha Lamba, Deepika Padukone and Kunal Kapoor.

Raj (Ranbir Kapoor) is a young heartbreaker. But when his own heart is broken, he's gnawed by remorse, and decide to apologize to his former girlfriends. One of them, Mahi (Minissha Lamba), who was once sure to see in Raj the hero from Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, is now married, and a mother who lost all faith in love and life since her ex-boyfriend went away. Raj discovers then that Mahi's husband, Joginder (Kunal Kapoor), is the "true Raj" from DDLJ, because he's burning with love for her.

To reconcile the lovebirds and to seek forgiveness, Raj will put on a show during the wedding of Mahi's sister-in-law.

Raj

Sunoh ik thi khaanch ki gudiya

Listen, there once was a doll made of glass

Sunoh ik thi pyaar ki pudiya

Listen, there once was a love story

Sakde uss pyaar ke

I bestow to that love

Sunoh ik tha pind da shera

Listen, there once was a brave young man

Aaya kas ke baandh voh sehra

Who came with a wedding turban tight on his head

Sakde uss yaar ke

I bestow to that friend

Sunoh ik thi khaanch ki gudiya

Listen, there once was a doll made of glass

Sunoh ik thi pyaar ki pudiya

Listen, there once was a love story

Sakde uss pyaar ke

I bestow to that love

Sunoh ik tha pind da shera

Listen, there once was a brave young man

Aaya kas ke baandh voh sehra

Who came with a wedding turban tight on his head

Sakde uss yaar ke

I bestow to that friend

Saji ti doli woh

She was in her bridal palanquin

Chadha tha godhi woh

He was seated on his horse

Khoya jaane kahaan inna sona pyaar baliye?

But where did this love story vanish, my darling

Jogi Mahi Heer Raanjhana

To Jogi and Mahi, to Heer and Raanjhana

Sabnu ja ke main yeh bolna

I'll go tell this story to everybody

Baat bol ke, raaz kholna (2x)

I will tell it, and open up the secret (2x)

Joginder

Dil thaame hue

Holding his heart

Woh tha kadha chup ke se yun

He was standing there, quiet

Dur baithe hue

Seated afar from her

Umra gaiyaan jaane na tu

Years have passed unbeknowst to all

Raj

Deewane ne di jawaani

The crazy lover gave away his youth

Ke har gham tu bhula te

To make you forget your sadness

Deta hi raha sadayein

He never stopped calling you

Ke dil se tu bula le

Hoping your heart would answer

Joginder

O chhad de ve zid hun

Oh, stop being stubborn

Chhaje uttey aaja hun

Come on my balcony now

Dil tuta janda sun pyaar dulya

My heart is broken and love is flowing from it

Raj

Jogi Mahi Heer Raanjhana

To Jogi and Mahi, to Heer and Raanjhana

Sabnu ja ke main yeh bolna

I'll go tell this story to everybody

Baat bol ke, raaz kholna (2x)

I will tell it, and open up the secret (2x)

Joginder

Dolhna ve, bolna

My darling, talk to me

Jind meri, jind meri, hun te aaja

Come into my life right now

Jind meri, jind meri, hun te aaja

Come into my life right now

Jadon da rus gaya, kudha bhi bhul gaya

Since you've been upset, I've turned away from God

Jindandi jaandi hai dolna

Time is flying so fast, my sweetheart

Mahi

Woh jaane kahan, gum ho gayi phir na mili

Nobody knows where she went

Jo phoolon se thi, rus hi gayi phir na khili

This flower vanished and never blossomed again

Pyaar maanga tha maine rab se

I was asking my love from God

Woh rehta tha yahin pe

Without knowing he was standing by my side

Maangun mein yehi duayein laut aaye woh kahin se

Now, my only request is that my love come back to me

O chhad de ve zid hun

Oh, stop being stubborn

Chhaje uttey aaja hun

Come on my balcony now

Dil tuta janda sun pyaar dulya

My heart is broken and love is flowing from it

Raj

Jogi Mahi Heer Raanjhana

To Jogi and Mahi, to Heer and Raanjhana

Sabnu ja ke main yeh bolna

I'll go tell this story to everybody

Baat bol ke, raaz kholna (2x)

I will tell it, and open up the secret (2x)

Sunoh ik thi khaanch ki gudiya

Listen, there once was a doll made of glass

Sunoh ik thi pyaar ki pudiya

Listen, there once was a love story

Sakde uss pyaar ke

I bestow to that love

Sunoh ik tha pind da shera

Listen, there once was a brave young man

Aaya kas ke baandh voh sehra

Baat bol ke, raaz kholna

I'll tell it and open up the secret

Dholna, bolna

My darling, talk to me

Jogi Mahi Heer Raanjhana

To Jogi and Mahi, to Heer and Raanjhana

Sabnu ja ke main yeh bolna

I'll tell this story to everybody

Baat bol ke, raaz kholna (2x)

I'll tell it and open up the secret (2x)
