I Wanna Be Free
A.R. Rahman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I build my love like a castle in the sand
And when it comes down, it comes tumbling to the ground
And when she speaks, it's a dangerous fantasy
That sets me free to where I wanna be

She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be
She sets me free to where I wanna be
And her hair blows like a lighter in the wind
And I lose my senses baby, it gets under my skin
And when she speaks, she's all I'll ever need
She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be

She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be
She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be
She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be
She sets me free to where I wanna be

I build my love like a castle in the sand
And when it comes down, it comes tumbling to the ground
And when she speaks, it's a dangerous fantasy
That sets me free to where I wanna be

She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be
She sets me free to where I wanna be




She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be
She sets me free to where I wanna be, I wanna be

Jiya Se Jiya

A. R. Rahman

Hai ude re ude re ude re ude re ude re umang bina dor ki patang
Ek dusare ke sang jud gaya jiya se jiya
Jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya
Koyi gaaye dhun koyi naache chhun chhun
Koyi kahe sun sun jud gaya jiya se jiya
Ambar se sur taal barase, gulbar se gulhaar barase
Amber se sur taal barase, gulbar se gulhaar barase

Jud gaya re jud gaya jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya
Yahaan?? mein dil ke darpan mein
Yahaan dagar dagar mein, gaanvo mein shehar mein
Prem har ek palak mein, har ek palak mein
Prem har ek jhalak mein, har ek jhalak mein

Jud gaya re jud jud gaya re jud gaya re jud gaya
Jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya
O o o o o...
Ude re umang bina dor ki patang, ek dusare ke sang jud gaya
Jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya
Koyi gaaye dhun koyi naache chhun chhun
Koyi kahe sun sun jud gaya jiya se jiya
Jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya, jiya se jiya
