Mera Mahi Bada Sona Hai (EN)

Choreography context :

The song Mera Mahi Bada Sona Hai from the movie Dhaai Akshar Prem Ke (2000) starring Aishwarya Rai and Abhishek Bachchan, was the 4th round of the Chandâgame (See the Jogi Mahi page for more information) and first Mouki's solo, which you can see down below.

Anecdote : when Étoile obtained the solo of Jogi Mahi, Mouki was very jealous (because it was from a Ranbir Kapoor's movie, among other reasons). In return, Étoile was very green-eyed when Mouki got Mera Mahi!

Anecdote II : Since most of Chandâga's choreographies ended with spins, Mouki was challenged not to spin once during the entire choreography!

Song context :

Karan (Abhishek Bachchan), while travelling to his fiancée's home, meets and saves in extremis a young woman, witness of a murder and chased by the murderers, Sahiba (Aishwarya Rai). Constrained to marry a man she doesn't like nor know, Sahiba persuades Karan to masquerade as her husband, with whom she would have eloped in secret. However, these feelings which were meant to be faked begin to be more and more real...
While waiting for her sweetheart's return, Sahiba tells to everyone about how he's wonderful, and how she's eager to see him again.

My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai
His golden heart makes me lose all senses

Mera mahi bada sona hai
My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai

Mere yar sa dildar sa naa koyi hona hai
My good friend is extremely generous

Mera mahi bada sona hai 
My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai
His golden heart makes me lose all senses

Chorus
Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna ve

Aaja aaja ve mahi aaja
Come, my love, come

Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna
Come, my darling, come

Sahiba
Haathon ke choodi khankaa de
The bangles on my wrists chime just for him

Mehndi kaa rang khila de

The mendhi on my hands is colored just for him

Bindiya meri chamka de
The bindiya on my forehead shines just for him

Barso ki pyas bujha de
The rain slakes my thirst of him

Mera ang ang maheka de
I give him all of my breaths

Hatho ke chudi khanka de
The bangles on my wrists chime just for him

Manmit ke mujhe prit ke sapno ko sajana hai
My heart only dreams about our love

Mera mahi bada sona hai
My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai
His golden heart makes me lose all senses

Mere yar sa dildar sa naa koyi hona hai
My good friend is extremely generous

Mera mahi bada sona hai
My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai
His golden heart makes me lose all senses

Chorus
Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna ve
Come, my darling, come

Aaja aaja ve mahi aaja
Come, my love, come

Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna
Come, my darling, come

Jogi kaisa rog lagaa, peed sahi naa jaaye re
Like a sick wanderer, I've stood straight like a tree

Jogan ban main bhayee, banwari jog bada tadpaayi re
I've became a crazy sage, the waiting was a torture

Aas lagaaye, naina bichaaye, tars rahe hai raahon mein

My crazy heart, my impatient eyes beg you to come back

Sahiba

Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna ve
Come, my darling, come

Aaja aaja ve mahi aaja
Come, my love, come

Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna
Come, my darling, come

Doori sahi naa ab jaaye
I couldn't bare this distance any longer

Pal pal judayi tadpaye

It was extremely painful

Tanhai dard bhadaye
Loneliness was harassing me

Tan mann me aag lagaye
My soul was on fire

Koyi jake usko samjhaye
And I couldn't understand a thing

Duri sahi naa abb jaye
I couldn't bare this distance any longer

Abb toh mujhe mehbub ki honto ko bhigona hai
Now, I want your wet lips to slake my thirst

Mera mahi bada sona hai
My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai
His golden heart makes me lose all senses

Mere yar sa dildar sa naa koyi hona hai
My good friend is extremely generous

Mera mahi bada sona hai
My sweetheart is so adorable

Sone peh dil khona hai
His golden heart makes me lose all senses

Aaja aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna ve
Come, my darling, come

Aaja aaja ve mahi aaja
Come, my love, come

Aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna
Come, my darling, come

Aaja aaja ve chand aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna ve
Come, my darling come,

Aaja aaja ve mahi aaja
Come, my love, come

Aaja ve channa aaja
Come, my moon, come

Aaja aaja ve sajna.
Come, my darling, come.
