Barfi! gal Priyanka Chopra is enjoying the attention she’s been getting for her latest album In my city featuring will.i.am. But who is the desi girl inviting to her city?
You know how we love to translate fun Hindi numbers into English, word-for-word. Once the job is done, we love seeing the essence of the original numbers getting lost in translation. But for a change, for the first time ever, we set our eyes…err…ears on Priyanka Chopra’s English album, In my city. This time around the conversion was exactly the opposite of what it usually is. So here’s the Hindi version of PeeCee’s sensational track for you, our readers. Take a look and feel free to giggle!
I know you got your own town
I know you got your own ways
I know you got your own life
I’m just sayin’ come on down to my place
Mujhe pata hain aapke paas hain aapka nagar
Mujhe pata hain aapke paas hain aapke khudke raaste
Mujhe Pata hain aapke paas hain aapki zindagi
Main sirf yeh bol rahi hoon aaiye upar niche mere ghar pe
Come on make some new friends
And tell me what you drinkin’
I know there’s no place like home
But I know you gonna like it in my city
Aaiyi upar banaiye kuch naye dost
Aur bataiye mujhe aap kya pee rahein hain
Par mujhe pata hain koi aisi jagah nahi ghar jaisi
Lekin mujhe pata hain aapko achcha lagega mera shehar
Everybody’s welcome here
Everybody welcome to my city
We ain’t got no worries here
I know you’re gonna like it in my city
You know you got a friend in me
You ain’t gonna wanna leave
Co-co-co-co-come on, co-co-co-come on
You ain’t never had a party
Till you come to party in my city
Sabka yahan swagat hain
Sabka swagat hain mere shehar main
Humein koi nahi pareshani yahan pe
Mujhe pata hain aapko pasand ayega mera shehar
Aapako pata hain aapko dost mila muh mein
Aapko nahi chaiye jaana chaiye chorrke
aa-aa-aaa—aao upar, aa-aa-aa-aao upar
Aapne nahi ki kabh bhi party
Jab tak aap aate jashn pe mere shehar mein
