Lyrics

नांदाया जाते, खुशालीत ऱ्हावा

देते वळख, या माझ्या गांवा

Nāndāyā zāte, khuśālīta rhāvā

Dete vaḷakha, yā mājhyā gāṃvā

I'm going to cohabitate; you stay safe!

I'll give a signal; come to my town

मी हो सासरी जाते

महिना पंधरा दिं राहते

तिथला अंदाज घेते

चवल्या पावल्या मी चोरून साठवीन

जरूरीचं पत्र तुम्हां पाठवीन

Mī ho sāsarī zāte

Mahinā pandharā diṃ rāhate

Tithalā andāza ghete

Çavalyā pāvalyā mī çorūna sāṭhavīna

Zarūrīçaṃ patra tumhāṃ pāṭhavīna

I'm going to my in-laws' place

I'll stay a month or fifteen days

Assess (my husband's attention) there

Dimes and quarters I'll pilfer and save

With urgency I'll send you a letter

माझ्या हरणीच्या मृगा

एक एक हुशारी बघा

नाही देणार जागा

Mājhyā haraṇīcyā mṛgā

Eka eka huśārī baghā

Nāhī deṇāra zāgā

Oh stag to my doe!

One by one, watch my clever moves

I won't give an inch

In this Marathi lāvaṇī, moneylender pressure sets the scene for a hush-hush trade of sexual favours.

Lyrics

अहो, एका गांवात अपरूप घडलं

काय घडलं गं बाई?

उसनं फेडुरीनं मी काढलं

अगं, कशासाठी?

अहो, दामदुपटीनं आकडं चढलं

अबब बबबब

आता सांगा, हे केवढ्याला पडलं?

छ्या, छ्या, छ्या, छ्या, अहो, लई महाग पडलं

Aho, ekā gāṃvāta aparūpa ghaḍalaṃ

Kāya ghaḍalaṃ gaṃ bāī?

Usanaṃ pheḍurīnaṃ mī kāḍhalaṃ

Agaṃ, kaśāsāṭhī?

Aho, dāma-dupaṭīnaṃ ākaḍaṃ çaḍhalaṃ

Ababa babababa

Ātā sāṅgā, he kevaḍhyālā paḍalaṃ?

Chyā, chyā, chyā, chyā, aho, laī mahāga paḍalaṃ

Oh, in some village a horror happened!

What happened, girl, ma'am?

I took a loan on mortgage terms

Oh, girl, what for?

Oh, with compound interest the numbers climbed

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Now tell, how much did this cost?

Shame, shame, shame, shame, oh, it cost very dearly!

अहो सावकार, तुमची न्यारी तऱ्हा

व्याजाचा दर जरा कमी करा

जरा मागं सरा

दाजीबा, नोट काढा

भाऊजी, चेक फाडा

भाऊजी, दाजीबा, भाऊजी

Aho sāvakāra, tumacī nyārī tarhā

Zarā māgaṃ sarā

Dājībā, noṭa kāḍhā

Bhāūjī, ceka phāḍā

Bhāūjī, Dājībā, Bhāūjī

Oh moneylender, your method's extraordinary

Reduce the interest rate slightly!

For now, back off!

Brother-in-law, take out currency!

Brother-in-law, tear a cheque!

Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law! Brother-in-law!

गेल्या म्हैन्याचा हप्ता थकला

घाईघाईत हिशेब चुकला

अहो, मुद्दल फिटलं

आता काय तटलं?

कारज मिटलं

अहो, गुंडाळा बोजा अन् जावा घरा

Gelyā mhainyāçā haptā thakalā

Ghāīghāīta hiśeba çukalā

Aho, muddala phiṭalaṃ

Ātā kāya taṭalaṃ?

Kāraza miṭalaṃ

Aho, guṇḍāḷā bojā an zāvā gharā!

Last month's instalment lapsed

In hasty haste, the total got miscalculated

Oh, the principal's repaid

Now what's blocking?

The purpose's gone!

Oh, gather your bags and go home!

मुखडा पदरात लपवून धरते

रूप डोळ्यांत न्याहाळून भरते

अहो, सबुरीनं घ्यावं

सावध व्हावं

श्श

इशारा केलाय, ध्यानात धरा

Mukhaḍā padarāta lapavūna dharate

Aho, saburīnaṃ ghyāvaṃ

Sāvadha vhāvaṃ

Śśa

Iśārā kelāya, dhyānāta dharā

I keep my face hidden in my veil

I gaze at your looks and fill my eyes

Oh, should take it patiently

Should become alert

Ssh!

I've given a signal, keep it in mind!

अङ्गाअङ्गात ज्वानीची आग

हातापायांत खेळत्यात नाग

अहो, शिणगार सोळा

झिंगलाय डोळा

अॅक् अॅह्

इश्काचा पेला जपून भरा

Aṅgā-aṅgāta jvānīcī āga

Hātā-pāyāṃta kheḷatyāta nāga

Aho śiṇagāra soḷā

Jhiṅgalāya ḍoḷā

Auk! Auh!

Iśkāçā pelā zapūna bharā

Youth's fire in every limb

Snakes coiling on arms and legs

Oh, dress-ups sixteen

The eye sways, drunk

Retch! Belch!

Fill love's cup carefully!

My favourite Garba.. Pavli lai ne hu toh Pavagadh gai 'ti

I went to Pavagadh with 4 anna (1 Pavli / pav paisa)

Money (That's what I want) - The Beatles

Album: With the Beatles (1963)

Songwriters: Berry Gordy and Janie Bradford

First they say this...

The best things in life are free, but you can keep them for the birds & bees

Now give me money.... that's what I want!

Your lovin' give me a thrill

But your lovin' don't pay my bills

Money don't get everything, it's true

But what it don't get, I can't use

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeWjEYhk7Xo

Then they say this...

I'll give you all I've got to give

If you say you love me too

I may not have a lot to give

But what I got, I'll give to you

I don't care too much for money

Money can't buy me love

Can't buy me love - The Beatles

Album: Hard day's night (1964)

Songwriters: Lennon/ McCartney

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3WJiqc_bEs

Guess after Beatles Invasion in US happened in '64, they could afford to say this...

PS: A bit of trivia, this song featured & was the title of a movie starring a very young and awkward Patrick Dempsey (wayyyyy before he became McDreamy)
