Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani video

Postby Luigi » Mon Apr 21, 2014 10:47 am

Music video from a Bollywood movie of the same name. Its a catchy song and shows Indian Nationalism and defiance of American influence. It literally means "My heart is still Indian" and shows them discarding western cultural elements for Indian equivalents. A nice mix of politics and catchy foreign music.

Don't be selfish, preserve this world for the next generations.

I'll never long for what might have been
Regret won't waste my life again
I won't look back I'll fight to remain

I dated an Indian girl in college so I listened and watched my fair share of Indian music/movies. I'm a music lover so it was easy to find the good in the music, however the movies were just hard to watch. Not because of the language, the content was hard to follow at times.

This song is catchy, whats the easiest way to translate the lyrics?

If you can understand us
Then do attempt to understand us
The more you try to understand
The more you'll be confused
We'll give you our roof
if it's ever raining
Sometimes in new packets we'll sell you
things that are actually old

But the heart is still Indian

Sometimes novice and sometimes playful
Our cars barely work as we drive them
We want love and a little money too
We are like this, we are like that
Straight or upside down, however we are,
this is the story
We are a little clever
We are a little naiive
We are a little genuine
we are a little insincere

Our eyes have some tears and some dreams
The tears and dreams both are our possessions
Our hearts are depressed but not broken
We have not lost hope
We are a little helpless
we are a little driven
There's a little "you you, me me"
There's a lot of characteristics that we have
That look crazy


Nice.
