I remember when this movie came out back in 1994/1995 and this song was so popular. But I just read the subtitles on this subbed version of the video and they are hilarious!

The english they used for the translations has nothing to do with anything.

I remember this song, it's a rip off of Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan's "Dam Mast qalander Mast Mast".

hehe i remember that song

Uh..I had to do a diwali dance to that song in the 6th grade..Don't remind me.

What are you talking about? I found the English translations similar to the lyrics.

Yeah I know. That song is oooold thank God for pilates these days

The problem is the fact that the lyrics were TOO literal. Its not natural to use terms like....

'You are a wonderful babe'

'You are devoid of your senses for you have the zeal of youth'

'For Your are intoxicated at every moment'

Even if they are too literal, they are accurate translations but in a less pleasant form.

That's exactly the point.

I got to agree with Tenj. There's just something about the translations that seems odd.

I thought u didn't know hindi?

Hey I did a dance to this song. I think I remember a fair amount of what my mom translated for me.

Duuude, that stuff is only like 10 years old but it feels so dated, something like that could of been released in the 60's. Good thing A.R. Rahman helped elevate Bollywood's music quality. Honestly, listen to some of the older stuff and you'll wonder if whoever wrote that stuff has an even sound footing in music theory.
