[English]

Ay, ay, ay

Yo, ah, ah, the kid

Oh P.B. Pint of my heart, the girls are behind us

Caught in the grip, the beauty of the forms is captivating

Your partner's work, they call him a little devil

The five boys are giving, this is how the fruits of labor are made

Oh the five boys are giving, this is how the fruits of labor are made

Look at the few flowers, what a beautiful gift they are

My heart is being captured, then there's a commotion

Honestly, I tell you, my heart is in your grasp

From your veil, you reveal, you don't care about my feelings

From your veil, you reveal, you don't care about my feelings

Oh Sivanji, don't look into my eyes

Don't fall in love

Let's know each other in friendship

Let's be happy with each other

Let's be happy with each other

The four boys never get married

Oh, the five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten girls

They wear rifles like this

Oh, the five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten girls

They wear rifles like this

Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh

Let's go, let's go

Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah

...

Oh P.B. Pint Mahari da, tanjeroan piche aat baliye

Kabje aalya takkaanche, pharekho roopon da jat baliye

Tere paadi kaar, enu jam doot da chota kahde ne

Paan sat beli jat deni, aich sane raai phalaan bende ne

Oh paan sat beli jat deni, aich sane raai phalaan bende ne

Pihar deko fewand sajina, ki fega ailaag daataan

Mir dil te kabda kardaani, fir rola yaane palaataan

Sach tere mute dasdian, hai pitni meri jaap lu saadi

Tere baar chunar chon dasga, tu net bo maane kar tu saadi

Baar chunar chon dasga, tu net bo maane kar tu saadi

Oh Sivanji, don't look into my eyes

Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh Eh

Let's go, let's go

Ah, ah, ah, yeah, yeah
