I caught you, and what a great catch it is!
I caught something brand new!
Wasn't this what my heart was longing for?
I caught you, and what a great catch it is!

You are such a lucky catch, my sweet parrot!
If you understand me, everything will be perfect!

Are you Zeenat Aman with that glance of your eyes?
Are you a Western woman with that swing of your arms?
Speak a sweet word from your lips,
And come to be mine, my darling!
Speak a sweet word from your lips,
And come to be mine, my darling!
The edge of your saree brushes against me
And tosses me about like a ball!
Laal laal laa laal laal lalaa laal laal laa laa
Even the full moon feels scorching hot!
Ah, I caught you, and what a great catch it is!
I caught something brand new!
Wasn't this what my heart was longing for?
You are such a lucky catch, my sweet parrot!
If you understand me, everything will be perfect!

I am the smooth lipstick waiting for you,
Wear me with love, my gentle deer!
You smiled, cast a net, and stole my heart away,
Truly, my lovely peacock!
You smiled, cast a net, and stole my heart away,
Truly, my lovely peacock!
Just one look at you, and my hunger
Flies away and disappears!
Laal laal laa laal laal lalaa laal laal laa laa
This beauty is the queen of my heart!
Ah, I caught you, and what a great catch it is!
I caught something brand new!
Wasn't this what my heart was longing for?
You are such a lucky catch, my sweet parrot!
If you understand me, everything will be perfect!
You are such a lucky catch, my sweet parrot!
If you understand me, everything will be perfect!
I caught you, and what a great catch it is!
I caught something brand new!
