Dil Dance Maare Re

The song "Dil Dance Maare Re" should probably be taken as a lighthearted satire on the Bollywood formula. To Hindi-challenged readers - sorry, it is beyond me to convey the sense of the Hindi-English in the song.

Note: the youtube below is only the audio; you can find glimpses of the accompanying dance by searching on Youtube.

Lyrics (approximate):

White white face dheke dil ma beating fast sasura jaan se maare re
Aare
White white face dheke dil ma beating fast sasura jaan se maare re
Jaan se maare re
Ohhhooo
White white face dheke
Aahh…
White white face dheke dil woh beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Oh very… oh very…
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re

Very happy in my heart, dil dance maare re
Dil dance maare dance maare
Dil yeh dance maare
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re

Oiye can't stop my feet
Can't stop my feet, jo lamwa kare hai zalim beat
Hai can't stop my feet, jo lamwa kare hai zalim beat
Kadakti heat mein ban ja deet
Nainan se nain mila re
Baath dil kin a chupa re
Oh aaja mujhko tu baata re
Oh very happy… happy… happy
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re
Very happy in my heart, dil dance maare re
Dil dance maare dance maare
Dil yeh dance maare re
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re

Hoo rose ki jaisan pink pink, humre gaal gulabi
Sky ke jaisan blue blue hi tohara nain sharabi
Bola chera jaise moon,
Kali zulfe jaisa cloud
Ab na aur chupya jaye, dhadkan ho gayi very loud
(Dhadkan ho gayi very loud) — 2

Hoiiii… tohare dil ka theatre ma aaa….
Tohare dil ka theatre ma
Dil deewana booking advance maare re
Aaaa..
Humre dil ka theatre ma
Dil deewana booking advance maare re
Oh very … oh very…
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re
Very happy in my heart, dil dance maare re
Oh Dil dance maare dance maare
Dil yeh dance maare
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re

White white face dheke dil ma beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Aahh…
White white face dheke dil woh beating fast sasura
Jaan se maare re
Oh very… oh very…
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re
Very happy in my heart, dil dance maare re
Dil dance maare dance maare
Dil yeh dance maare
Oh very happy in my heart
Dil dance maare re….
