The Poetic English Translation of the Lyrics of Oo Bolega 

 

If she is wearing a saari

He will ogle without fear

If a miniskirt she has

Then he will boldly leer

Forget saari and skirt

It does not matter one jot

Filthy glances filthy thoughts

Man is round bottomed pot

 

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

 

Lips will start salivating

When he sees a fair one’s face

Dusky girls he will tease

Force them in his arms embrace

Black or white it doesn’t matter

So very deep has set the rot

Only sex at any pretext

Man is round bottomed pot

 

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

 

Long legged sexy beauties

They make his heartbeat swell

But if he sees a short one

He will stalk her as well

She may be long or be short

He won’t spare a second thought

If she’s married, he’s not worried

Man is round bottomed pot

 

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

 

If they are curvy and svelte

Prime goods is what he calls them

The ones that are thin and frail

Are compared to a rose stem

Be they fat or be they thin

Both types are equally sought

Find them alone and take them home

Man is round bottomed pot

 

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

 

Posing as a sugar daddy

Sometimes he tries to assert

Sometimes as an ardent lover

He will shamelessly flirt

Whatever their strategy

They all come from the same lot

Lights off and in the darkness

Lights off and in the darkness

Man is round bottomed pot

 

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

Yes he will say lass (chorus)

Yes he will not say lass (chorus)

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

Yes he will say lass (chorus)

Yes he will not say lass (chorus)

Yes he will say or

No no he will say dumbass

The Original Hindi Lyrics of Oo Bolega from Pushpa The Rise

Saari saari pahan ke saari

Aaye to usko ghoore

Chhote chhote skirt bhi jo

Pahan ke aaye to ghoore

Chhod saari chhod skirt

In kapadon se kya hota

Nazare gandi soch gandi

Mard hai bin pendi lota

 

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

 

Gore gore mukhde pe

Taiyaar koi marne ko

Sanvli ko chhede

Baahon mein aa jaaye bharne ko

Kaale gore se kya matlab

Madhu mile ya phir mattha

Ek hi ratta dekh dupatta

Mard hai bin pendi lota

 

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

 

Lambi lambi tang wali

Chhokri ka deewana

Chhoti naati ladkiyon ko

Daalta hai wo daana

Lambi ho ya naati sab ko

Bahela ke isne loota

Chaat lega pattal jootha

Mard hai bin pendi lota

 

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

 

Phoole phoole gaal pe

Koi bole kya dikhti hai

Dubli patli ho to phir

Gulab ki daali lagti hai

Moti ho ya patli sab ke

Darwaze pe hai adda

Dekh akeli dale phanda

Mard hai bin pendi lota

 

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

 

Joothi joothi shaan pe koi

Apana rob dikhata hai

Koi ban ke dilwala tere

Dil se khel ke jaata hai

Ek hi thali ke

Ye dono hai re chatte batte

Batti gul chhaya andhera

Batti gul chhaya andhera

Mard hai bin pendi lota

 

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Oo bolega bala

oo na boega bala

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Oo bolega bala

Oo oo na bolega bala

Oo bolega ya

Oo oo bolega sala

Explanation of the Lyrics of Oo Bolega  

Explanation of Bin Pendi Lota

Pendi means flat bottomed, so bin pendi would mean without flat bottom, or round bottomed. Just as a round bottomed pot would be unstable and roll in all directions, men are wayward as far as attraction to women is concerned. This is the essence of the song.

Explanation of the Chorus 

According to verbal enunciation, particularly in India, “oo” stands for yes and “oo oo” stands for no. The dancer is asking whether men will say yes or say no. In the context of the content of the main verses, the question of men saying no does not arise and therefore the chorus must be interpreted in a special manner.

 

The kind of men described in this song prey on weak women. If they are confronted by a girl who is bold, then they will back off. The dancer is in effect asking the men whether they will mete out the same treatment to her as they do to weaker women. The question is rhetorical and the obvious answer is they will not.

Omkara – Namak

Namak – Transcreation and Explanation of Gulzar’s Lyrics 

Meta Description:  Namak is a Bollywood item number from Omkara featuring Bipasha Basu.  The Vishal Bhardwaj Hindi movie is a remake of Shakespeare’s Othello. Understand the risqué metaphors of the rustic original song and sing the English translation to the original beat. 

The Difficulty in Translating the Lyrics of Namak

Namak is the second Billo (Bipasha Basu) item number from Omkara, Beedi Jalay Lei being the other one. It is written by Gulzar and has the same risqué tenor. Again, a literal translation of the lyrics is meaningless. One must get to the underlying sexual metaphor to enjoy it.

 

“Main chaand nigal gayi” is the critical phrase. Once that is understood the other metaphors will fall in place. The problem is that this phrase, which literally translates as “I swallowed the moon”, is difficult to put in perspective. I interpret it as “I dreamt of my moon-faced lover”. I do not offer any justification for the same, except that the song makes sense when taken as an imaginary interaction with a lover. I have not come across any use of this phrase in this manner. However, I do recall reading the Sanskrit epic Kadmbari by Bana. The queen dreams of swallowing the moon and conceives, ultimately giving birth to a child as handsome as the moon.

The Transcreation in English of the Hindi Lyrics of Namak

I dreamt of my lover

Oh yes, I dreamt of my lover, listen

Hmm it has aroused my passion

It is a fatal attraction

Yes it has aroused my passion

It is a fatal attraction

 

Oh, I dreamt of my lover, listen

Feel the burning sensation

I’ve never been that way before

The heat I can’t, the heat, the heat I cannot ignore

It is an addiction, addiction yes

Now an addiction

It is, it is an addiction

This burning desire O! this frenzied desire

It is, it is an addiction

This burning desire O! this frenzied desire

It is, it is an addiction

It is, it is an addiction

This burning desire O yes! this frenzied desire

This burning desire O yes! this frenzied desire

 

Come and give me satisfaction

Give me satisfaction

Come and give me satisfaction

Give me satisfaction

Come and give me satisfaction

This burning desire O! this frenzied desire

It is, it is an addiction

This burning desire O yes! this frenzied desire

O yes! burning desire, frenzied desire

 

Alas!

 

Leery cops roadside Romeos

They all make passes at me

Yes, yes, yes sir, yes

O yes sir, O yes sir, O

Rowdy cops roadside Romeos

They all make passes at me

Even the street corner grocer

Sends weekly rations for free

Some trinkets you too volunteer

Volunteer

Whisper sweet nothings in my ear

In my ear

 

I’ve never been that way before

The heat I cannot ignore

O yes! I’ve never been that way before

The heat I cannot ignore

Wild dreams are not, yes

Wild dreams are not

Wild dreams are not the solution

This burning desire O! this frenzied desire

It is, it is an addiction

This burning desire O! this frenzied desire

O yes! Desire

 

One look from the man of my heart

One look from the man of my heart

And I was like putty in his arms

I yielded all to my lover

Such was the magic of his charms

I was like putty in his arms

Such was the magic of his charms

 

Alas!

 

He dived deep into my eyes

He filled my lips to the brim

He dived deep into my eyes

He filled my lips to the brim

There is ecstasy in death

I cannot live without him

I tossed and turned as I waited

As I waited

Sought his footsteps with breath baited

With breath baited

 

I’ve never been that way before

The heat I cannot ignore

O yes! I’ve never been that way before

The heat I cannot ignore

I am filled sir, filled sir, filled sir

Filled sir, filled sir, filled sir yes

I am filled

I am filled to saturation

This burning desire O! this frenzied desire

It is, it is an addiction

This burning desire O yes! this frenzied desire

 

Come and give me satisfaction

Give me satisfaction

Come and give me satisfaction

This burning desire O yes! this frenzied desire

This burning desire this frenzied desire

This burning desire this frenzied desire

This burning desire this frenzied desire

This burning desire this frenzied desire

This burning desire this frenzied desire

This burning desire

The Literal English Translation of the Lyrics of Namak

The repeated lines and choruses have been eliminated

 

I dreamt of my lover

And was burning with passion … even talking about him gave me the hots

I dreamt of my lover … and it felt as if my body was full of blisters

It was like putting too much chilly in the food … when your mouth is on fire

But what could I do … I had tasted the experience of making love to him

And I wanted more of the same from him

 

(Seeing me mature as a sexy lass)

Everyone makes passes at me, leery cops and roadside flirts

Even the grocers are extending credit hoping for repayment in kind

My lover, you can gift me at least a few trinkets

And whisper sweet nothings in my ears

The dream was like putting too much chilly in the food … when your mouth is on fire

Yet I dreamt all night of the joy of your making love to me

My lover handled me as if he was playing a flute

And I yielded completely to his moon like charm

He gazed lovingly in my eyes, he kissed my lips passionately

Self-annihilation in love is ecstatic, life without the lover is hell

I thirsted for him as I tossed on my bed

I dreamt of hearing his footsteps at my door

The separation was like too much chilly in the food … when your mouth is on fire

I tried to douse myself with a small dream of making love to him
