You

This translation was requested by a dear friend of mine. It was a tricky one. I hope I have done justice to it. You can listen to the song here.

Song: "Rehna Tu" from the movie "Delhi 6"

Rahman is truly a magician.

*** Start of P1 ***
Stay, oh stay the way you are-
A pinch of pain, a trace of tranquil.
Stay, oh stay the way you are-
A light breeze, a crazy passion.

Soft as silk, my darling,
And yet a little rough;
Sometimes stubborn
And ready to fight,
Sometimes full of fragrance.

Not the tiniest bit in you
Would I wish to change;
Neither could I decorate you,
Nor alter you in any way;
Not a speck less,
Not a speck more
Of what you are.

I have fallen in love
With the person that is you;
Let your rain drench me
And wash me away!
I have fallen in love
With the person that is you;
Let your flames engulf me
And turn me to ashes!
*** End of P1 ***

If you ever hurt me,
It is you who heals the wound,
The wound that my heart reveres;
O, let me drown in the river
Of your precious love!

Stay, oh stay the way you are-
A pinch of pain, a trace of tranquil.
Stay, oh stay the way you are-
A light breeze, a crazy passion.

If you ever hold my hand
And walk with me,
Would you put your right hand in mine?
For it would take one right hand
And the other, left
For us to walk hand in hand.

*** P1 repeat ***
