Dil To Bacha Hai Ji Lyrics with English Translation

Aisi uljhi nazar unse hatt ti nahi
Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi
Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi
Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi

My entwined eyes don’t seem to want to quit staring at her,
My tongue tied teeth cannot (even) cut through a simple silk thread,
My life is far past an age where the white (hair) shows,
And yet, the dense cloudy veneer of (my) youth refuses to fade away


Walla ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai
Chehre ki rangat udne lagi hai
Darr lagta hai tanha sone mein ji

Oh my dear, my heart is started racing again,
My cheery cheeks have started bloody blushing again (my face has started losing color),
(Rightfully so), I am now so scared of falling asleep all alone


Dil to bachcha hai ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Haan dil to baccha hai ji

My heart has become like that of a child (again)
A little naive, a little gullible,
Yes, indeed, innocent like that of a child

Aisi ulji nazar unse hatt ti nahi
Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi
Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi
Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi
Ra ra ra ..

My entwined eyes don’t seem to want to quit staring at her,
My tongue tied teeth cannot (even) cut through a simple silk thread,
My life is far past an age where the white (hair) shows,
And yet, the dense cloudy veneer of (my) youth refuses to fade away


Kisko pataa tha pehlu mein rakha
Dil aisa baaji bhi hoga
Hum to hamesha samajhte the koi
Hum jaisa haaji hi hoga

The heart which I wore (and hid) under my sleeve,
I never did expect, would (eventually) turn out to be this impish scimpish,
I instead always (wrongly) believed,
That my heart was exactly a thorough gentleman like me

 
Hai zor karein, kitna shor karein
Bewaja baatein pe ainwe gaur karein
Dilsa koi kameena nahi
Koi to rokey, koi to tokey
Iss umar mein ab khaogey dhokhe
Darr lagta hai ishq karne mein ji

Now that it is enticed, (and then) it creates commotion
It has started reading too much into these seemingly commonplace gestures,
There is seemingly no scurry scoundrel like this heart of mine,
Please someone try to rein it in, oh, please someone try to drill in some sense (at least),
(Try to remind it) that at this tiring age, he is going to be beguiled and betrayed,
(Rightfully so), now I am so very scared of falling in love


Dil to bachcha hai ji
Dil to bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Haan dil to baccha hai ji


Aisi udhaasi baithi hai dil pe
Hassne se ghabra rahe hain
Saari jawani katra ke kaati
Piri mein takra gaye hain

I am lugging around,  so much of the sweet sorrow in my heart,
That it now visibly afraid to even laugh out in the open,
All my (wasted) youth, I cautiously avoided this malaise (of love)
And now (ironically), I am meeting him (love) on the same street


Dil dhadakta hai to aise lagta hai woh
Aa raha hai yahin dekhta hi na woh
Prem ki maarein kataar re
Taubah ye lamhe katt te nahi kyun
Aankhein se meri hatt te nahi kyun
Darr lagta hai mujhse kehne mein ji

When my heart pulsates (like this),
It feels as if she is coming right towards here, looking straight at me,
Darting arrows poisoned with her love and longing,
(No wonder) why these magic moments seem to be infinitely protracted,
And they(these moments) seem to swarm all over my vision and eyes (overwhelming me),
(Rightly so) I am so scared to admit all this to even my own self,


Dil toh bachcha hai ji
Dil toh bachcha hai ji
Thoda kaccha hai ji
Haan dil toh baccha hai ji
