“Proper Patola”
(from “Namaste England” soundtrack)
Proper patola
Nakhra ae swag
Suit Patiala shahi chunni teri black
O munde honke bharde
Tainu takk takk ke
Turre jadon hath tu
Lakk utte rakh ke
Proper patola
Nakhra ae swag
Suit Patiala shahi
Chunni meri black
O munde honke bharde
Mainu takk takk ke
Nachan jadon hath main
Lakk utte rakh ke
Look! Rabb ne husna di rakhi koi thod nahi
Gallan di laali nu makeup di koi lod nahi
Phull ne gulaab de
Bull ne janaab de
Sonh lagge mummy di mainu
Tera koi tod nahi
Thodi te til kaala kudiye ni baatan paave
Suit Patiala, Gucci Vucci nu maatan paave
Ghar tera ni main aape labh loon
Saanu bas das ja tu naa’m
Proper patola
Nakhra ae swag
Suit Patiala shahi chunni teri black
O munde honke bharde
Tainu takk takk ke
Turre jadon hath tu
Lakk utte rakh ke
Main laa dun tujhe haar
Pehna doon tujhe kangan
Ho taiyyar
Ghuma doon tujhe London
Haath mein rakhun haath rakhe jis cheez pe
Heere jadwa doon teri kaali kameez pe
Aaja mere paas, kar guzarish
Paise ki kya baat
Kar doon noton ki baarish
Itna na soch haath mera thaam
Tujhe yaad rahegi zindagi bhar ye shaam
Ja mundeya ve tere bas di ni gal
Na nach mere naal aake tu close
Haan chal patli gali se tu nikal
Tere jaison ko rakhti hoon on-toes
Kyun bole lie tu
Na kare try tu
Jaa jaa tu bete ghar ja
Proper patola
Nakhra ae swag
Suit Patiala shahi chunni teri black
O munde honke bharde
Tainu takk takk ke
Turre jadon hath tu
Lakk utte rakh ke
Proper patola
Nakhra ae swag
Suit Patiala shahi
Chunni meri black
O munde honke bharde
Mainu takk takk ke
Nachan jadon hath main
Lakk utte rakh ke
Lyrical Diary-
The term “Proper Patola” is Punjabi for “proper attire.” The song’s lyrics are about a man who is courting a woman and trying to impress her with his clothing and dance moves. He tells her that he is from a wealthy family and can afford to buy her the best clothes and jewelry. He also promises to take her on expensive vacations and spoil her rotten. The woman seems unimpressed, and the man ends up dancing by himself.
