Hara Hara
Mahadevaki
Even God goes around on a bicycle, they say,
yet the priest asks for a Bullet motorcycle!
In other words, what I am trying to say is,
if you want to charm a lovely girl,
only by getting really close
and friendly with a lovely girl can you do it! (Dialogue)
Sacred ash stripes on the forehead,
rudraksha beads around the neck,
to rock the floor and have a blast,
come close to me, girl!
A brand new style,
the train is speeding by,
the sun is blazing hot,
come to me, my cuckoo!
Hara Hara Mahadevaki!
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hey, bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu ba ba ba bajunu
Ha, bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu bajunu bajunu
Sacred ash stripes on the forehead,
rudraksha beads around the neck,
to rock the floor and have a blast,
come close to me, girl!
A brand new style,
the train is speeding by,
the sun is blazing hot,
come to me, my cuckoo!
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Cock-a-doodle-doo,
I am a rooster!
If you come by my side,
it is super fun!
Like a hen scratching
in the dirt,
you are the one trying
to tease and stir me up!
Oh dear, it is twitching—
my mustache!
Even an ascetic monk
would feel desire!
All the rest,
to the highest peak,
with your sly smile,
you shower generously upon me, yeah yeah yeah!
Yeah yeah yeah!
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hey, bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu ba ba ba bajunu
Ha, bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu ba ba ba
Bajunu bajunu bajunu
...Hoy... hoy... hoy... hoy!
The sweet richness of Iruttu Kadai
halwa (a famous dark, glossy sweet), girl,
is right there
on your slender waist!
Tough guy,
do not act so aggressive!
Naughty thief,
do not steal my heart!
Oh my, the pure glow of the full moon
is your fair beauty!
As dangerous as the Pakistan
border, that is you!
Packed with a punch,
like a burst of firecrackers,
smashing it all to pieces,
you are setting the stage on fire, ra ra ra!
Ra ra ra...
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hara Hara Mahadevaki
Hey, bajunu ba ba ba
