   English Translation of Jai Ho – just for you mate :)

   Jai Ho means Victory to thee

   Come, come my Life, under the canopy
   Come under the blue brocade sky!
   Iota by iota, I have lost my life, in faith
   I’ve passed this night dancing on coals
   I blew away the sleep that was in my eyes
   I counted the stars till my finger burned
   Come, come my Life, under the canopy
   Come under the blue brocade sky!

   Taste it, taste it, this night is honey
   Taste it, and keep it,
   It’s a heart; the heart is the final limit
   You dark black kohl
   It’s some black magic, isn’t it?
   Come, come my Life, under the canopy
   Come under the blue brocade sky!

   For how long, how very long
   It’s been on your lips
   Say it, now say it
   The eye is downcast
   Such lit up eyes
   Are they two lit-up dimaonds(?) ?
   Come, come my Life, under the canopy
   Come under the blue brocade sky!

   This is another translation by this time its not mine, found it on the net

   Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

   Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
   Come come below the decorated tent of life

   Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
   Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

   Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

   Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
   Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

   Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai
   Slowly Slowly Really I lost my life

   Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai
   Spent my nights dancing on coal

   Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di
   I blew the sleep in my eyes with air from my mouth

   Neele Tare Se Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai
   I burned my finger with blue star

   Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
   Come come below the decorated tent of life

   Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale
   Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

   Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

   Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
   Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

   Chakh Le, Ha Chakh Le, Ye Raat Shahad Hai.. Chakh Le
   Taste it, yes taste it, this night is honey, taste it

   Rakh Le, Ha Dil Hai, Dil Aakhri Had Hai.. Rakh Le
   Keep it, yes this is heart, heart is last limit.. Keep it

   Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
   (your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?

   Kala Kala Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na
   (your) Black Black eyeliner – is it your black magic?

   Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
   Come come below the decorated tent of life

   Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

   Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho.., Jai Ho..
   Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee.., Victory to thee..

   Kab Se, Ha Kab Se Tu Lab Pe Ruki Hai.. Kab De
   Since when, yes since when, you have stopped at my lips.. since when

   Kab De, Ha Kab De Ab Aankh Jhuki Hai.. Kab De
   Since when, yes since when, (your) eyes are closed.. since when

   Aisi Aisi Roshan Aankhe Roshan Dono Bhi Hai Hai Kya
   Like this, Like this, lightening eyes, making both lightened, yes, yes, what?

   Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale
   Come come below the decorated tent of life

   Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Come below blue sky decorated with ‘jari’ threads

   Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee

   Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho
   Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee, Victory to thee
