Thana naananaana nananaanaa
I am a sexy bomb,
Come on, come wage a war!
Upon this treaty of mine,
Put your signature, give it!
To scout out your borders,
Do you have a helicopter?
If you step inside my territory,
Is there any way for you to escape?
What kind of soldier are you? Which force are you in?
Come, let's clash and find out!
...........................................
If you know how to climb the Himalayas,
You are a mountain dweller.
If you know how to swim the Pacific Ocean,
You are an ocean dweller.
If the scent of wild herbs sprouts on you,
You are a forest dweller.
If you come to me who knows all three,
You will live in pure pleasure!
Restlessly back and forth,
Is your heart swaying?
To stand still without swaying,
Is it seeking our attention?
Ole ole olele ole ole olele
Ole ole olele ole ole olele
Ole ole olele ole ole olele
Ole ole olele ole ole olele
.......................................
Slashing like a knife and stabbing me,
Blows the chilly wind.
Striking a spark with a flint-kiss,
Light up a little fire!
Desire launches a missile,
Taking aim right at me!
Take me across the border,
And rescue me!
With me, using my saree,
Come pitch a tent!
What lies where and everywhere,
Come inspect and tell!
Ole ole olele ole ole olele
Ole ole olele ole ole olele...
Ole ole olele ole ole olele
Ole ole olele ole ole olele...
I am a sexy bomb,
Come on, come wage a war!
Upon this treaty of mine,
Put your signature, give it!
To scout out your borders,
Do you have a helicopter?
If you step inside my territory,
Is there any way for you to escape?
What kind of soldier are you? Which force are you in?
Come, let's clash and find out!
