Hey...
What can I say, man?
Having a wife is nothing but trouble, man!
What can I even say, man?
My life isn't in my hands anymore, man!
Oh oh oh...
Ho ho ho, with so much joy she put...
...toe rings on both her feet!
And here I stand looking so pitiful,
she made me fall on my knees!
I hear the wedding drumbeats,
or is that a funeral drum?
It surrounds and claims my life,
like an unlucky, cursed hour!
I hear the wedding drumbeats,
or is that a funeral drum?
The funeral drum's ring...
...tone tone tone tone tone!
Darling...
Back in the day, I played matches
and won trophy cups!
Once the three wedding knots were tied,
now all I wash are dirty tea cups!
Soft as butter dough on the outside,
she blows up like a landmine!
Rolling her eyes at me,
she threatens and beats me up!
Just like swiping past a reel,
she slowly knocked me down!
Tired and worn out, my tongue hangs out!
Whenever we go to a restaurant,
all the leftovers she leaves behind,
I have no choice but to eat them up!
Darling...
Inside my wallet,
there isn't even ten rupees!
Timing it just right,
she picks a fight to go shopping!
Once the wedding chain was tied,
it totally drained me dry!
There isn't even any happiness,
marriage has become endless trouble!
Hey... hey hey
What can I say, man?
Having a wife is nothing but trouble, man!
What can I even say, man?
My life isn't in my hands anymore, man!
Oh oh oh...
Ho ho ho, with so much joy she put...
...toe rings on both her feet!
And here I stand looking so pitiful,
she made me fall on my knees!
I hear the wedding drumbeats,
or is that a funeral drum?
It surrounds and claims my life,
like an unlucky, cursed hour!
Darling...
