*Punjabi folk*
aaya lariye… ni tera,
sehreyaan wala…
veyaah wal aaya
(there comes the one for the bride,
adorned with a sehra,
proceeding towards the matrimony)

aaya te sataa rang,
laaya lariye… ni tera,
sehreyaan wala…
veyaah wal aaya
(and he comes along with a riot of colours,
he comes for the lucky girl…)

ho bole angrezi munda
(the boy speaks in English now… )
ho karda tezi munda
(and seems always in hurry…)

lagaata ho tie-shie
()he decks himself with a tie and all…)
very hi-fi
(and very hi-fi stuff…)

ho bole village ko ganda
(he calls his village dirty…)
ho badla hai ye banda
(as he’s changed a lot abroad…)

hai bhoola wo desi taane
(he’s forgotten the old village rants…)
te gaaye english gaane
(and sings English songs instead!…)

aata jaata nuks nikaale
(he keeps complaining throughout…)
kaam dhaam ka na
(but hardly of being any use himself…)

aata jaata nuks nikaale
kaam dhaam ka na

paar sumandar jaake usne
(and having abroad, this guy…)
itna hi jaana
(…learnt only this much that…)

(that one must look cool…)
tashan mein rehna
(and be presentable always…!)

ke saj dhaj ke
tashan mein rehna

ve ban than ke
(and one must be decked up always…)
jashan mein rehna
(and stay in fervour …)

ke saj dhaj ke
tashan mein rehna

ho assseyaan padosiyaan de
(hey! he goes around the neighbourbood…)
kunde shunde khol ke
(and enters the houses…)

giftaan vi denda dekho
(gifting everyone something…)
hello hi bol ke
(says only ‘Hi/Hello’ now!)

ho, assseyaan padosiyaan de
kunde shunde khol ke
giftaan vi denda dekho
hello hi bol ke

(the dhol(an Indian musical instrument) beats...)
haan dhol ke
hoye...

ho disco seekha
(he's learnt the disco...)
bhool gaya hai
wo bhangra paana
(but forgotten the bhangra of home...)

ho disco seekha

Haye Sohniyan te Mohniyan vi,
(the damsels and the beauties...)

(and even the lads are all here...)
Haanian ko Mil jani,
(and all's love search ends...)
Yahin koi Jaan vi
(here itself ...)

Haye Sohniyan te Mohniyan vi,

Haanian ko Mil jani,
Yahin koi Jaan vi

(the strings of lover's kites...)
Apna pe jana

marjaneya ja...
(now go and get lost...)
