Jai Ho, Jai Ho Quilt


The faces are shisha mirrors and the text is windowscreen. I love Bollywood songs and AR Rahman's song has a wonderful beat from the Oscar winning movie, Slumdog Millionaire. The meaning of the words:

Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho, Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!) Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale (COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale (COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)

Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!)

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale (COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale (COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY) Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!)Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!)

Ratti Ratti Sachi Maine Jaan Gavayi Hai (NIGHT AFTER NIGHT I TRULY DIED..)

Nach Nach Koylo Pe Raat Bitayi Hai (SPENT THE NIGHTS DANCING ON HOT COALS..)Akhiyon Ki Neend Maine Phoonko Se Uda Di (I BLEW AWAY THE SLEEP IN MY EYES..)

Neele Neele Tare Maine Ungli Jalayi Hai (I BURNT MY FINGERS TRYING TO TOUCH THE STARS..)

Aaja Aaja Jind Shamiyane Ke Tale (COME ON MY LIFE, JOIN ME UNDER THE BIG ROOF)Aaja Jariwale Nile Aasman Ke Tale (COME JOIN ME UNDER THE GLITTERING BLUE SKY)Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!)Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!)

Spanish: Baila! Baila! (Dance! )

Ahora conmigo, tu baila para hoy (Now with me, you dance for today) Por nuestro dia olvidas, (For our day, just forget..)

los problemas que sean (whatever problems there may be) Salud! (Cheers!) Baila! Baila! (Dance! Dance!)

Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!)Jai Ho Jai Ho (LET VICTORY BE YOURS!) Chakh Le Ho Chakh Le Ye Raat Shahad Hai Chakh Le (TASTE IT, THE NIGHT IS HONEY, TASTE it) Rakh Le Haan Dil Hai Dil Aakhri Had Hai Rakh Le(KEEP MY HEART, IT IS THE LAST LIMIT, YEAH KEEP IT) Kala Kala, Kajal Tera Koi Kala Jadoo Hai Na(DARK, THIS EYELINER OF YOURS, IS LIKE A MAGICAL SPELL)
