Movie – Taal
Cast – Aishwarya Rai, Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Khanna
Director – Subhash Ghai
Music Director – A.R. Rahman
Song– Ramta jogi
Lyrics – Anand Bakshi
Singer – Sukhwinder Singh, Alka Yagnik

Let A.R. Rahman make your evening more romantic and love filled. Even though his music for Taal released way back in 1999, it still continues to be a rage and was, arguably, the most important reason why the movie was a blockbuster back then. This song ‘Ramta jogi‘, from Taal, picturised on Anil Kapoor and Aishwarya Rai, is one of the best duets from the Rahman collection, and Anand Bakshi’s soulful lyrics took the story forward, where Anil who is the jogi here, falls for Ash, and Ash on the other hand reminisces about her love story gone wrong with Akshaye Khanna. Listen to the song, and drive your blues away!

na jaane dil vich ki aaya
(don’t know, what my heart was upto…)
ik prem pyaala pi aaya
(…that i went and drank from the cup of love…)
main ji aaya main pi aaya
(.. and felt like i had lived my life…)
main prem prem pyaala pi aaya
(… after having those priceless drops of love)

oye ramta jogi, oye ramta jogi
(oh lovelorn saint)
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye
oye ramta jogi, oye ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

main prem da pyaala pi aaya
(i just quenched my thirst with love)
main prem da pyaala pi aaya
ik pal mein sadiyaan jee aaya
(and felt like having lived a thousand lives)

oye ramta jogi, oye ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

main prem da pyaala pi aaya
ik pal mein sadiyaan jee aaya
saari madhushala pi aaya
(…i drank away all the barrels of love)
ik pal mein sadiyaan jee aaya
main pi aaya, main pi aaya, main pi aaya
ja pi aaya
main jee aaya
(…i consumed love, and lived my whole life in that moment)

oye ramta jogi, oye ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

tu ramta jogi, tu ramta jogi
(you, the loevlorn saint)
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye
tu ramta jogi, tu ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

tu prem da pyaala pi aaya
eh tere dil vich ki aaya
(…what came upon you, that you tasted love)
tu prem da pyaala pi aaya
eh tere dil vich ki aaya
saari madhushala pi aaya
ik pal mein sadiyaan jee aaya
main pi aaya, main pi aaya, main pi aaya
ja pi aaya
main jee aaya

tu ramta jogi, tu ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

oye ramta jogi, oye ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

ye jog liya kis kaaran
(…what made you become the lovelorn one, the saint)
ye rog liya kis kaaran
(…what made you accept this disease of love)
ye jog liya kis kaaran
ye rog liya kis kaaran
ho…
ik jogan dekhi basti mein
(…when i saw this lovelorn damsel in the crowd)
ik mauj uthee to masti mein
(…it sent a tinge excitement into me)
haan, haan..
ik jogan dekhi basti mein
ik mauj uthee to masti mein
dil bhi aaya, main pi aaya
(… and soon the heart followed in her way)
main prem prem pyaala pi aaya
main pi aaya, main ji aaya
main prem pyaala pi aaya
main ji aaya

tu ramta jogi, tu ramta jogi
jogi, jogi, jogi

hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye

ho….
mann mein lagan ye jaagi
jug choota..
(…ever since love struck, i lost all care for the world)
oye hoe, jug choota jiyaa bairaagi
(… and this heart roams around, in search of that one)
ye baat wahaan tak na pahunchi
(… the words never reached the one, intended to)
ye chot jiya tak na lagi
(… and the hurt it caused didn’t reach the heart)
o..ho..
ye dard zabaan tak na aaya
(… and the pain never found it’s way to the lips)
ye tere dil vich ki aaya
(… and what came upon you, the lovelorn saint)

ho…saari madhushala pi aaya
ik pal mein sadiyaan jee aaya
main pi aaya, main pi aaya, main pi aaya
main pi aaya, main jee aaya

oye ramta jogi, oye ramta jogi
hoe oye, hoe oye, hoe oye
