here it goes ..
Very nice dress I telling…..
Punn hanv bongleant sirvis koring
But I work to clean this Bunglow.
Soglle mest te markittantle
Every one I meet in the market
Mhojea mogan poddonk soding
Want to fall in love with me
Punn tea bazarant gorddent mhaka Baba chimtte kaddunk trying
In the crowded market the guys try to pinch me
Punn hanv very koddok, don't care nobody I tambddi Inglez tassing
But I am very strict , don’t care for anybody…red English I polish.
Mhunntat darling, darling
Tum pollounk distai kalling
Mhunnon come on here bai, don't go there
You nicely quietly walking………
Soglle chedde, la la la la Mhaka Phewneo gallun Calling
All the Boys whistle to call me.
Punn hanv respeit rakhing girl, mijeas no talking
Kuznant handdio ghanxing, ghanxing
But I keep my self respect, instead I polish those utensils in the kitchen.
My hippity-trippity Johnnie Bottinttali kolark to writing
.. Soddanch sanzecho tho bhaggeant maka taking
Always in the evening he takes me to the garden
Ani laddo , bhojas maka giving
And he feeds me with Laddos and Bhajas
Dogaim tankon ami bankar boshing
We sit close on the bench
Thedna matshe hanve thaka hanve lozing
Then I feel very shy
Mhojea tambe Ottanche xap tajhea polleach xappping
My red lips I kiss I imprint him on the cheeks
Mhojea Johnny Johnny soddanch Bungleant He is coming
My Johnny always comes to the Bunglow to visit.
Mhaka c-a-t cat, dog mhunnon Johnny maka english xinkoing
johnny teach me English …..
Uprant Khuznant sigde pattoan theka pole pudding giving
Then I warm the stove and feed him with pudding ….
Magir maddam bhair voitoch rebbko vazoun jitta patta naching naching
When the madam goes away, He plays the violin and we dancing dancing
