Toon/ Toonh/ Tooh Lyrics Translation [Gori Tere Pyaar Mein]

Movie: Gori Tere Pyar Mein
Music: Vishal-Shekhar
Lyrics: Anvita Dutt Guptan
Singers: Mika Singh, Mamta Sharma, Shruti Pathak, Shekhar Ravjiani
Cast: Imran Khan, Kareena Kapoor

For the sake of simplicity, the multiple tooh-tooh-tooh-tooh sounds are not translated. Tooh, better written as Toonh, is Punjabi for bum, or tush, or backside, to put it that way. And like many more words in Punjabi, sounds more lovable than bad.

English mein kende booty-shooty
Punjabi vich Tooh!
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
Shake that tooh

They call it booty-shooty in English,
and 'Toonh' in Punjabi.
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
Shake that bum

[Here, shake that tooh is said in a way that you can use it to mean shake that bum, or shake that 'too', as in, you too shake yours. Two meanings for a word.]

O mehfil taan sajdi te hilte-dulte toonh
Gore gore naughty-naughty round-round toonh
Punjaabiyaan de toon, Sharabiyan se toonh
Gore gore nikke-nikke tere-mere toonh
Repeat pe, beat pe vajdi dholki
Everybody does it, and you can do it too

It's a lovely gathering and there are moving bums,
these fair, naughty, round bums,
The bums of Punjabis, the bums of drunkards,
fair, small (as in pretty/cute), yours and mine bums..
The drums play on repeat, on the beat,
Everybody does it, and you can do it too

[i.e., you too can shake your bum, that is, dance with all of us, completely lost.]

Left right kare chain churaaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh..
District mein hullad machaaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh..
All the boys go crazy when i shake that
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh..
Aashiqon ki linein lagwaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh..

[The bums] move left and right, and make me restless,
[the bums] make an uproar in the entire district..
All the boys go crazy when i shake that bum..
[the bums] get lover-boys queued up..

Haay raid padaaye raaton mein
Punjaabiyon ki tooh
Baraatiyon ki tooh

In the nights there are raids because of
Punjabis' bums,
The bums of those in wedding procession..

Baaz naa aaye drunkard sharabiyon di tooh
Oh red gulabi kurti mein hai kya gazab ki tooh
Haay kya gazab ki tooh...

The bum of drunkards don't stop,
and what an awesome bum is there in the red-pink dress
What an awesome bum..

Paake main choli short
Peeti tequila shot
January mein bhi hot
Now what to do..
Thodi si ho gayi tunn
Sexy step kar le gun
Everybody does it
And you can do it too

Wearing a short blouse,
I have tequila shots,
I'm hot in January even,
now what to do..
I've got a bit intoxicated,
Come do the sexy step,
Everybody does it
And you can do it too

Left right kare chain churaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
District mein hullad machaaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
All the boys go crazy when i shake that
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
Aashiqon ki linein lagwaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...

Hoye aaj kal di kudiyan di ki koi limit naa
Ghodi chadh ke aayi vekho attitude ki maa
Kood-kood ke faand-faand ke entry maare haan
Dil de andar gidda paye, ticket kataye naa

There is no limit to girls of these days,
See, there is a mother of attitude riding a mare,
[Traditionally boys come riding a mare on their weddings.]
She enters all jumping and bouncing,
She dances Gidda dance inside my heart, without a ticket..

Hain thaath baat ke laale
Ho lallu ladke waale
Arey hat pare tu, chhod jagah tu
Main te nachna
Ho beat pe, repeat pe vajdi dholki
Everybody does it, and you can do it too

They lack all the pomp,
These guy's side people are unintelligent,
You move away, leave some space,
I have to dance,
The drums play on repeat, on the beat,
Everybody does it, and you can do it too

Left right kare chain churaaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
District mein hullad machaaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
All the boys go crazy when I shake that
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...
Aashiqon ki linein lagwaye
Tooh, too-tu-tooh-tooh, toonh, tooh-tooh tooh-tooh...

seriously these guys need to go get a life. I earnestly wish this song dies off soon and no one remembers it at all. Just think, someone singing "O mehfil taan sajdi te hilte-dulte toonh
Gore gore naughty-naughty round-round toonh".... it sounds gross and disgusting

Waste Song. No sense of lyrics. Wonder what were going on her mind when she(Anvita Dutt Guptan) wrote it. Yes..a woman penned this song and pathetic lyrics.

Well, the beats are good and all and it is a pretty peppy number... but only for those... who don't know the meaning of the lyrics which happen to be downright bullshit. It is simply crazy that a song is based on someone's ass! :0
