Mukesh:
chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod gaye
my beloved has deserted me, woe, left me all alone
tod gaye baalam mera pyar bhara dil tod gaye
my beloved has broken my loving heart
Lata:
chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod gaye
my beloved has deserted me, woe, left me all alone
chhut gaya baalam haai saath hamara chhut gaya
lost is my beloved, woe, lost is our togetherness
ruuth gaya baalam mera pyar bhara dil tuut gaya
not talking to me, my beloved, my loving heart has been broken
Lata:
phool sang muskaye kaliyan main kaise muskaaub
with flowery smile of the flower buds, how can I smile
baadal dekh ke bhar aayi ankhiyan - 2
I saw the rain clouds and my eyes brimmed
cham cham neer bahaaun main cham cham neer bahaaun
cham cham my tear drops flow, cham cham my tear drops flow
chhut gaya baalam gaai saath hamara chhut gaya
lost is my beloved, woe, lost is our togetherness
ruuth gaya baalam mera pyar bhara dil tuut gaya
not talking to me, my beloved, my loving heart has been broken
Mulesh:
dil ki lagi ko kya koi jaane main jaanu dil jaane
the pain of my heart who can know, I know and my heart knows
(palkon ke chaya mein naache)2
dancing under my eyelashes
dard bhare afsaanse haai dard bhare afsaane
tales of grief, woe, tales of grief
chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod gaye
my beloved has deserted me, woe, left me all alone
tod gaye baalam mera pyar bhara dil tod gaye
my beloved has broken my loving heart
Lata:
pehle mann mein aag lagi aur phir barsi barsaat
first a fire raged in my heart then came the downpour
(aaisi chali birhaah ki aandhi)2
such was the windstorm of separation
tadpat hu din raat haai main tadpat hu din raat
that I am in agony day and night, I am in agony day and night
chhut gaya baalam gaai saath hamara chhut gaya
lost is my beloved, woe, lost is our togetherness
Mukesh:
chhod gaye baalam mujhe haai akela chod ga
my beloved has deserted me, woe, left me all alone
Trans:Saeed
A heart breaking one reflecting the parting of true loves
Whenever duets are being sung and listened to, this would certainly comes to mind; Lata when she was a teenager, Mukesh very young, the movie was a mega hit during its days, "Barsaat" evoked so much memories whenever it is mentioned; the songs even today could be regarded as hummable hits.
The soothing voices of Mukesh and Lata enacted by Raj Kapoor and Nargis blended so superbly in this tune, it can be reffered to as one of the best duets ever. How can we not include this one.
