My main purpose in écriture this article is to present the obvious similarities between the song 'Sajade Kiye Hai Lakhon' from the movie 'Khatta Meetha', and Sonny and Cher's 1965 smash 'I Got toi Babe'.
To do so, I will first translate 'Sajade Kiye Hai Lakhon', from Hindi into English.
I will then present the lyrics to 'I Got toi Babe'
This should be enough to montrer that both songs have essentially the same meaning.
Here is the song 'Sajade Kiye Hai Lakhon' from the movie 'Khatta Meetha'.
sajde kiye hai lakhon, lakhon duayein maangi
bowed down millions of times, prayed millions of times
paya hai maine phir tujhe
then how I have got you
chaahat ki teri maine haq mein hawaaye maangi
I prayed for the air of your love
paya hai maine phir tujhe
then how i have got you
tujhse hi dil yeh behla, tu jaise kalma pehla
my cœur, coeur slipped because of you, toi are like the first word
chahun na phir kyun main tujhe
then why don�t I l’amour you
jis pal na chaha tujhko, uss pal sazayein maangi
for the moments I don�t l’amour you, I asked for punishment
paya hai maine phir tujhe
this is how, I have got you
sajde kiye hai lakhon, lakhon duayein maangi
paya hai maine phir tujhe
jaane tu sara woh, dil mein jo mere ho
toi know that everything, which is in my heart
padh le tu aake har dafa
come and read this every moment
hoo jaane tu sara woh, dil mein jo mere ho
padh le tu aake har dafa
nakhre se na ji bhi hote hain raazi bhi
with lust, the disagreeable become agreeable
tujhse hi hote hain khafa
and I become displeased only with you
jaane tu baatein saari katati hai raatein saari
toi know everything, that my nights are passing like
jalate diye se an bujhe
like the burning lamp
uth uthake raaton ko bhi teri wafaayein maangi
I kept praying for you, par waking up nights
paaya hai maine phir tujhe
and this is how I have got you
sajade kiye hai laakhon laakhon duwaaye maangi
paaya hai maine phir tujhe
chahat ke kaajal se, kismat ke kaagaz pe
with the coal of love, on the paper of fate
apni wafayein likh zara
write down your faithfulness
chahat ke kaajal se, kismat ke kaagaz pe
apni wafayein likh zara
bole zamana yun, main tere jaisi hoon
the world say that I am like you
tu bhi to mujhsa dikh zara
toi too, try to look like me
mera hi saaya tu hai, mujh mein samaya tu hai
toi are my shadow, toi are occupied in me
har pal yeh lagta hai mujhe
I feel like this every moment
khud ko mitaya maine, teri balayein maangi
I destroyed myself, I asked your troubles for me
paya hai maine phir tujhe
and this is how I got you
chahe tu chahe mujhko, aisi adaayein maangi
toi should like me, I asked such style
paya hai maine phir tujhe
and then I gained you
I shall now present the lyrics to Sonny and Cher's 1965 hit song 'I Got toi Babe'
They say we're young and we don't know We won't find out until we grow Well I don't know if all that's true 'Cause toi got me, and baby I got you
Babe, I got toi babe I got toi babe
They say our l’amour won't pay the rent Before it's earned, our money's all been spent I guess that's so, we don't have a pot But at least I'm sure of all the things we got
Babe, I got toi babe I got toi babe
I got fleurs in the spring I got toi to wear my ring And when I'm sad, you're a clown And if I get scared, you're always around
Don't let them say your hair's too long 'Cause I don't care, with toi I can't go wrong Then put your little hand in mine There ain't no colline ou mountain we can't climb
Babe, I got toi babe I got toi babe
I got toi to hold my hand I got toi to understand I got toi to walk with me I got toi to talk with me
I got toi to Kiss goodnight I got toi to hold me tight I got you, I won't let go I got toi to l’amour me so
I got toi babe I got toi babe I got toi babe I got toi babe
I got toi babe I got toi babe I got toi babe I got toi babe
Thus, my contention that 'Sajade Kiye Hai Lakhon' and 'I Got toi Babe' are essentially one and the same.
