[English]
Badi shahar ki tu papa ki pariSocha tha tu mera hoga shreevalli
Pyar dikhake tu gam de chali, tune swag dikhaya mujhe bombay wali
Timro lagi tara haina jun jhari dinchu
Phool jastai phool maya la phool bari dinchu
Timro aoula ma diamond ghati ma necklace
Kathmandu ma 10 wota cha mero business
Ektarfi prem haina garchu 360
Lalupate oplai dinchu mahango lipstick
Hamro sambandhe ko samachar dekhaucha BBC
Nepali maya din ma raat ma position bideshi
Teri maa badhiya,
satyanashai parecha ni
Aaja tero ghad na khuskai ka chodchu ra ma
Swag bombay wali kadak mirchi wali bate
Choli ke piche kya hai mujhe bhi dikha de
usko pin code chahiye mera ATM ka
I'ma superstar dopestar KTM ka
Tala mathi daya baya jata bata herda pani bomb cha maya
Bombay ko maya tu bombay se aya pare papa ki pari ko mana nai paya
Badi shahar ki tu papa ki pari
Socha tha tu mera hoga shreevalli
Pyar dikhake tu gam de chali tune swag dikhaya mujhe bombay wali
Suno sab dil baro
kabhi na karna dil baro
Suno manager bhai
aaj uska bhi bill bhardo paise ka deal karo
Blockbuster film ka heroine banadunga
director Karan Johar ko manalunga
N.H.R gang in the scene, big in the scene like Honey Singh
Baby you know what I mean
Phal pakeyo banai ma lukai khaidiu la
Dil basyo tannai ma priti laidine na
Cinema ko model bhanda kam chaina
Sochirako hola keta ma dam chaina
Mera ko chata na jata na
Daba ke pel diya bole papa na
Mohani lagaune aakhai le
Surilo koyeli bhakai le
Ma parkhi rahe Maya aasai le
Aba choddeina Tamang ko jatai le
Hela dim naaka dosi pong basi khaba
Neta yangla pesingha gomlasi haba
Lava mula maya lana ngai ngala rama maya yela hai areba areba
Badi shahar ki tu papa ki pari
Socha tha tu mera hoga shreevalli
Pyar dikhake tu gam de chali, tune swag dikhaya mujhe bombay wali
