Balam Pichkari Lyrics English Translation - Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani
Balam Pichkari Jo Tune Mujhe Maari
Beloved, when you splashed me with your water gun,
Toh Bolay Re Zamana Kharabi Ho Gayi
the world declared that everything went haywire.
Mere Ang Raja Jo Tera Rang Laga
My dear, when your color touched my skin,
Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharaabi Ho Gayi
this plain girl became utterly intoxicated.
Itna Maza Kyu Aa Raha Hai
Why is there so much fun?
Tune Hawa Mein Bhang Milaya
Did you mix bhang (a cannabis drink) into the air?
Itna Maza Kyun Aa Raha Hai
Why is there so much fun?
Toone Hawa Mein Bhang Milaya
Did you mix bhang in the air?
Dugna Nasha Kyun Ho Raha Hai
Why is the intoxication doubled?
Aankhon Se Meetha Tune Khilaya
Did you serve sweetness with your eyes?
Ho Teri Malmal Ki Kurti Gulabi Ho Gayi
Oh, your soft cotton kurta has turned a rosy shade,
Manchali Chaal Kaise Nawaabi Ho Gayi Toh
and your mischievous walk has taken on a regal air.
Balam Pichkari Jo Tune Mujhe Mari
Beloved, when you splashed me with your water gun,
Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharabi Ho Gayi
this plain girl became completely intoxicated.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Tune Mara Thumka
Yes, when you danced in jeans and shook your hips,
Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhabhi Hogayi
you turned into that charming, fun neighbor’s sister-in-law.
Balam Pichkari Jo Toone Mujhe Maari
Beloved, when you splashed me with your water gun,
Toh Sidhi Sadi Chhori Sharabi Ho Gayi
this simple girl became completely intoxicated.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Toone Maara Thumka
Yes, when you danced in jeans and gave that hip shake,
To Lattu Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi
you became like the delightful sister-in-law of the neighborhood.
Teri Kalai Hai Haththon Mein Aayi Hai
Your wrist has come into my grasp,
Maine Maroda Toh Lagti Malai Hai
and when I twisted it, it felt as smooth as cream.
Mehenga Padega Yeh Chaska Malai Ka
This addiction to your creaminess will cost dearly,
Upvaas Karne Mein Teri Bhalai Hai
it’s better for you to fast for your own good.
Ho Bindiya Teri Mehtabi Ho Gayi
Oh, your bindi has become as luminous as the moon,
Dil Ke Armaanon Mein Be-Hisaabi Ho Gayi Toh
and my heart now overflows with countless desires.
Balam Pichkari Jo Toone Mujhe Maari
Beloved, when you splashed me with your water gun,
Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharabi Ho Gayi
this plain girl became completely intoxicated.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Toone Maara Thumka

Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi

Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharabi Ho Gayi
this simple girl became completely intoxicated.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Toone Maara Thumka
Yes, when you danced in jeans and shook your hips,
Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi
you turned into the delightful sister-in-law of the neighborhood.
Ho Kyun No Vacancy Ki Hoththon Pe Gaali Hai
Why do your lips curse with “No Vacancy”,
Jabki Tere Dil Ka Kamra To Khali Hai
when the room of your heart is completely empty?
Kamra Toh Khaali Hai
The room is empty,
Kamra Toh Khaali Hai
indeed, the room is empty.
Mujhko Pata Hai Re Kya Chahta Hai Tu
I know exactly what you desire,
Boli Bhajan Teri Niyat Qawwali Hai
your devotional words carry the flavor of a qawwali.
Zulmi Yeh Haazir Jawaabi Ho Gayi
O fierce one, you are now armed with a sharp retort,
Tu Toh Har Taale Ki Aaj Chaabi Ho Gayi Toh
you have become the key to every lock today.
Balam Pichkari Jo Toone Mujhe Maari
Beloved, when you splashed me with your water gun,
Toh Seedhi Saadi Chhori Sharabi Ho Gayi
this plain girl became completely intoxicated.
Haan Jeans Pehan Ke Jo Toone Maara Thumka
Yes, when you danced in jeans and shook your hips,
Toh Lattu Padosan Ki Bhabhi Ho Gayi
