As a treat for the music lovers out there, BollyCurry is back with the Valentine's Day special edition of our popular quiz The Lyric Bee: Name That Song. We look forward to your enthusiastic participation and answers. Let the guessing game begin!

 

For our first time readers, the title speaks for itself. The Lyric Bee: Name That Song is about testing your Bollywood music knowledge and speedy recognition of the translations. Listed below are a few lines of three different Bollywood numbers translated into English. Your task is to translate these lines into their original Hindi format, and tell us which song the lyrics belong to. Piece of cake, right? Then let's get to it!

 

This month, we have chosen songs that convey the confusion, the happiness and the passion that are inevitable in the lives of those basking in the sweetest feeling called love.

 

 

 

I pay more attention to myself now;

I keep thinking, how am I looking!

If I see a mirror, then I check to see;

How has this face blossomed like this!

Something is happening, Something has happened!

 

 

You've made me restless, O partner;

I've now declared to this world that I became yours!

I'll come with you, I'll go to my in-laws place;

I'm going to take you away and I'm going to give you my heart

 

 

See the love, flickering and fading away like fireflies

This is a sweet difficulty; what can anyone do?

Don't decline the petition on the lips;

Don't doubt the desire in the breath!
