Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amay valobese deke dakhona dakhona
Asi ki na asi pase ke tomy vlobase
Choke chokh rekhei dakho na
Modhu jodi na khai vromor
Fuler ar lubh ki fute
Behaya mon ta amr du hate nao na lute

Overall Meaning

In Asha Bhosle's song BHALOBESHE DEKEI DEKHO NA, the lyrics speak to the complexity of love and the uncertainty that comes along with it. The singer pleads with their partner to not deceive them by giving the impression of love without genuinely feeling it. The lyrics suggest that even if they are physically present, it does not mean they are emotionally invested in the relationship. The tone is one of vulnerability and fear of being hurt. The singer implores their partner not to break their heart by pretending to love them when they don't.

The lyrics also touch on the passion and intensity of desire. The singer acknowledges the temptation of indulging in earthly pleasures like indulging in sweets and the beauty of flowers. But they ultimately prioritize the importance of genuine emotional connection over these fleeting pleasures. The final line of the song suggests the singer's resolve to not let their feelings be taken advantage of, refusing to let their wild and uncontrolled heart be stolen and manipulated by their lover.

Line by Line Meaning

Amay valobese deke dakhona dakhona
Look at me with love and don't turn away

Asi ki na asi pase ke tomy vlobase
May I be near you, who loves me

Choke chokh rekhei dakho na
Don't ignore me even while looking straight into my eyes

Modhu jodi na khai vromor
If I don't taste the sweetness, the world becomes tasteless

Fuler ar lubh ki fute
What point is there in blossoms without fragrance

Behaya mon ta amr du hate nao na lute
My shameless heart does not fall into my control
