Disco dance karenge Shava! Hum to gentleman hai Shava...

Have you heard folk songs especially Punjabi folk songs? I simply love them..they are so beautiful..the songs are naughty and bring out the fun element..I am not able to understand the lyrics at first..only after repeated listening and with the help of mom,I am able to understand tidbits of what it is saying :) but somehow, we are losing this heritage.. only our daadis/naanis know these songs but what will happen after them..how do we preserve this when we can not even converse in our mother tongue? it is this diversity that makes India so culturally rich.. anyway I love this song from monsoon wedding called Madhorama pencha.. just see the excellent video॥I tried to find the meaning of lyrics from mom and also the internet..it is so cool..watch it :)

The song is about Madhorama and what kind of bride he wants..just like the song jiski biwi moti from Lawaaris where Amitabh Bacchan plays a transgender..

The parantheses denote the meaning of the songs :)

Madhoram Pencha Veran Kedi kariye ( Madhorama pencha, which girl should we pick?)

Shava Vera Kedi kariye (Which girl should we pick?)

Madhoram Pencha Ve Hun Toh Moti Kariye (Madhorama pencha, now let's pick the fat one)
