Hindi term or phrase: Aap Jaisa Koi mere Zindagi Mein Aaye to baath ban
I saw it on a lyric sheet for a song I like. I think it is from an Indian movie called Qurbani
maureen
English translation:How wonderful will my life be to find a guy like you!
Explanation:
This is the voice of a female who is awaiting an ideal lover for her.The expression couldn't possibly have been translated literally.The present one is a translation based on the underlying sense.I give below some literal equivalences:
AAP JAISA:like you
MERI ZINDAGI MEIN:in my life
AAYE: if (HE) comes
BAAT BAN JAAYE:it would be so wonderful!
KOI: literally"anyone",but here it means "some guy"
TO :a particle suugesting wishful thinking(in this context)
To put in other words,the female is wishing for a guy like him(THE ONE REFERRED TO IN THE SONG)
