A stick hut, a terrace house, a multi-story building, a thatched hut,
A mud house, a marble house,
A brick house, a stone house,
There are so many different kinds of houses!
No matter how many houses there are,
Can any ever match our Seth's mistress?
Hey come, come, come, come...
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion,
Both women keep revolving only around you!
How much pleasure will you enjoy, lover boy friend?
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love... ee... ee... sometimes love!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion!
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion!
Aah... aa... aa... aah... aa...
In Sowcarpet, there lived a Seth named Lalchand,
Lalchand Seth found a partner named Malchand!
Lalchand and Malchand started a money-lending business,
And gathered thick bundles of cash just from interest!
That's the way!
Lalchand and Malchand feast on sweet gulkand (rose petal jam),
And his girlfriend is asking for gulkand too!
For our entire state, our big brother is the true all-rounder!
Gone is Niagara, look here comes Viagra!
Gone is Niagara, look here comes Viagra!
Gone is Niagara... ah... aa... aah...
Gone is Niagara, look here comes Viagra!
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion!
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion!
Aah... aa... aa... aa...
Even when the government treasury goes completely empty,
When banks go on strike and chit funds go bankrupt,
The only place with money is the Seth's pawn shop, see!
For us poor folks, that is our emergency ward!
The Seth has a heart of pure gold, man!
He is the undisputed lion of Sowcarpet!
The Seth has a heart of pure gold, man!
He is the undisputed lion of Sowcarpet!
He drank bhang (herbal drink) to his heart's content, oh man!
The high has become too strong, just try to handle it!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love... ee... ee... oh... sometimes love!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion!
Mistress Chithra is building a big mansion!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
Sometimes love, and sometimes a stranger right away!
