Every night before sleeping, Raina requests a verse of a Hindi song, followed by the translation.
Usually, I try for kid-friendly songs, but tonight, I just couldn't think of one. So I began singing, "Dil deewana, bin sajana ke, maane na..." Yup, Maine Pyaar Kiya. It's funny the songs one thinks of. Anyhoo, I digress.
So this was the translation: "My crazy heart, without the person I love, doesn't feel happy." I know. Sucky translation. But my daughter doesn't care. Probably because she knows no better.
Ensuing discussion --
Raina: So this basically means that this person's heart isn't happy because the person she loves is not around.
Me: Exactly!
Raina: Because her heart is full of love, right? Because hearts have a lot of love. They pump love. They pump blood too, but in the center is love, and they have blood in the sides, right?
:)
Couldn't resist sharing that nugget.
