Today is Lover’s Day in Spain, a day for men and mice alike to give their true loves roses. *Awww* How about a song in that case? 🙂

Feb 14th aka Valentine’s Day is just as big in Spain. But the Spanish (bless them) actually have two days when lovers can exchange gifts, at least in Barcelona. La Dia de Sant Jordi (St George’s Day) is celebrated on April 23 each year. Gallant gentlemen in Spain honor St. George’s romantic gesture of saving a princess from the clutches of an evil dragon by… um, buying her a book!
PS. Wanna hear something crazy? April 2rd 1564 is believed to be William Shakespeare’s birthday. He died 52 years later, also on April 23.
So on this special day I figured I’d post the English translation to those Spanish lyrics Farhan Akhar liked to much! xoxo

Senorita – Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara

¿quien eres tu?
Who are you?
¿dónde has estado?
Where have you been?
he removido cielo y tierra y no te encontre.
I´ve moved heaven and earth and I didn´t find you
Y llegas hoy
and you arrive today
tan de repente
so suddenly
y das sentido a toda mi vida con tu querer.
and you give sense to my whole life with your love

Na main samjha, na main jaana.
Jo bhi tumne mujhse kaha hai senorita.
Magar phir bhi, na jaane kyun.
Mujhe sunke accha laga hai senorita.

no desvies la mirada
Don’t look away
quedate cerca de mi
stay near me

Mujhko baahon mein tum ghero.
Samjhi na senorita.

Chaahat ke do pal bhi, mil paaye.
Duniya mein yeh bhi kum hai kya.
Do pal ko toh aao kho jaaye.
Bhoole hum hota gumm hai kya senorita.
Suno suno senorita kehte hain hum kya.

jamas podre
I shall never be able
interpretar
to interpret
el sentido de las palabras que me dedicas.
the sense of the words which you dedicate to me
pero el calor
but the warmth
de tu mirar
of your look
me hace sentir como la mas bella senorita.
makes me feel as the prettiest young lady

Nighaahon ne nighaahon se.
Kahi armaano ki dastaan hai senorita.
Yeh chaahat ki, mohabbat ki.
Saari duniya mein ek hi zubaan hai senorita.

Mujhse ab nazar na phero, aao paas tum mere.

Mujhko baahon mein tum ghero.
Samjhi na senorita.

Chaahat ke do pal bhi, mil paaye.
Duniya mein yeh bhi kum hai kya.
Do pal ko toh aao kho jaaye.
Bhoole hum hota gumm hai kya senorita.
Suno suno senorita kehte hain hum kya.

Jo bhi pal beeta.
Hey senorita
Har pal tumne hai dil jeeta.
Bus itni si toh baat hai.

no desvies la mirada
Don’t look away
quedate cerca de mi
stay near me

Mujhko baahon mein tum ghero.
Samjhi na senorita.

Chaahat ke do pal bhi, mil paaye.
Duniya mein yeh bhi kum hai kya.
Do pal ko toh aao kho jaaye.
Bhoole hum hota gumm hai kya.
Chaahat ke do pal bhi, mil paaye.
Duniya mein yeh bhi kum hai kya.
Do pal ko toh aao kho jaaye.
Bhoole hum hota gumm hai kya.
