[English]

Mundeyan nu chardi thaari thaari thaari ohdi heat te

Marjani paundi bhangra

Angrezi beat te - 4 times

Ohde silky silky waal, nasal di gori aa

Oh 6 footi muteyaar, ganne di porri aa

Khafa rata ni hundi, kise di cheat te

Marjaani paundi bhangra

Angrezi beat te - 4 times

O khad taan ja, tu nede aa

Bai idda naa tu gede kha

Oh kahton enni desperate, saanu dasde ke ae rate

Shoe teri da, dress teri da, ghadi jo paayi, guess teri da

Chaaro paase vekh lai kudiye, charcha hotness teri da

Nachdi mainu lagdi shudain, sacchi main taan ho geya fan

Machdi hik nu saambh kude, ni tenu government ne kar dena ban

That is why salah ik laila, main tera majnu bann meri laila

Main teri laila, oh meri laila

Khad ja pehla saah taan laila

Marjaani paundi bhangra

Angrezi beat te - 4 times

Poori beer-sheer pee ke, rum chada gayi oye

Marjaani nachdi nachdi, gota kha gayo oye

Kehnde hundi kharabi, peeti neat te

Marjaani paundi bhangra

Angrezi beat te - 4x
