Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna?
When in a foreign country, wear the native garb/clothes, so why be afraid?
Arre Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna?
Arre Chhodo Rani, Chhodo Yun Hi Aahen Bharna
O leave it, princess, stop sighing so..
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Hai Kudiye? Jaldi Karna....
What are you embarassed for girl, hurry up!
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na
I won't do it, I won't become like that.
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na

Ahhhh Ahhhhh Ahhhhh
Kaisi Yeh Nagariya, Kaise Hai Yeh Log?
What is this town? How are these people?
Kaise Hai Yeh Log?
Haye, Sab Ko Laaga, Prabho, Besharmi Ka Rog
O Prabho, everyone seems to be afflicted with immodesty.
Ab Tu Hi Bataa, Bhagwan, Main Bhi Kya Karun?
Now you tell me, God, what shall I do?
Main Bhi Kya Karun?
Main Tau Kuch Bhi Karne Se Na Jaane Kyun Darrun
I don't know why I am afraid to do anything.
Ghoonghta Kolun Na Kolun Na Kolun Kolun Re
I won't open my veil.
Arre Chhod De Nakhra Ab Tau Goriye
O drop this pretence now, fair one.
Arre Aaya Hai Mauka, Le Ab Tu Ban Sanwarna
You have a chance, now adorn yourself.
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Hai Kudiye? Jaldi Karna...
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na
Main Nahin Karna, Yun Nahin Ban-na

Man Ko Dhak Le Gori, Tan Ka Dhakna Hai Beqaar
Cover your heart, fair one, covering your body is useless.
Dhakna Hai Beqaar
Phool Na Mehake Jab Tak, Uska Khilna Hai Beqaar
Until a flower gives off fragrance, it's blooming is useless.
Arre Aksar Aaisa Hota Hai Pehli Pehli Baar
This happens often the very first time (alludes to her shyness)
Pehli Pehli Baar
Aa Mujhse Tu Le Le Himmat Thodi Si Udhaar
Come, borrow a bit of bravery from me.
Jhoot Bolun Na Bolun Na Bolun Bolun Re
I won't lie.
Arre Ghir Na Jaun, Main Tau Kamsin Re, Ouch!
O let me not fall, I'm young..
Arre Haathon Mein Mere Tu Apna Haath Dharrna
Place your hand between my hands,
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Ve Mundeya, Jaldi Karna...
What are you embarassed for boy, hurry up!
Arre Wah Bhai Wah, Huyi Gal Na
Wow, nice, that's it now.
Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna
Jaisa Des, Vaisa Bhes, Phir Kya Darna
Arre Kahe Ki Sharam Ve Mundeya, Jaldi Karna...
