Wanted
From the film 'Nafrat ki Aandhi' (tr. 'Gale of Hatred). Composer Bappi Lahiri, lyrics: Indeevar and Anjaan.
...
ही मैन, ही मैन, आए ऐम ही मैन
चाहिए... ही मैन ही मैन ही मैन
चाहिए... ही मैन ही मैन ही मैन
मज़बूत बाहों वाला,
प्यार करने वाला,
मुझपे ही मरने वाला,
अरे प्यार करने वाला
टुल्ल लुल्ल लू, टुल्ल लुल्ल लू, मामा चूमा वाला
टुल्ल लुल्ल लू, टुल्ल लुल्ल लू, मामा चूमा वाला
ही मैन, ही मैन, आए ऐम ही मैन
इज़्ज़त पे मेरी बन आएगी
जब छेड़ेगा रूप का चोर मुझे
दुश्मन से कैसे बचाएगा
उस वक़्त कोई कमज़ोर मुझे
चाहिए... ही मैन ही मैन ही मैन
चाहिए... ही मैन ही मैन ही मैन
...
He man, he man, I am he man
Needed... he man he man he man
Needed... he man he man he man
The one with strong arms
The one who loves
The one who'd die only for me
Oh the one who loves
Tull lull luu, tull lull luu, mama chuma wala
Tull lull luu, tull lull luu, mama chuma wala
He man, he man, I am he man
Imperilled will my honor be
When the thief of beauty accosts me
From my foe how will I be saved
That instant by some weak knee
Needed... he man he man he man
Needed... he man he man he man
