Full Chikni Chameli Lyrics (Hindi + Romanized + English Translation)
Intro / Hook
बिच्छू मेरे नैना बड़ी ज़हरीली आँख मारे कमसिन कमरिया साली इक ठुमके से लाख मारे नोट हज़ारों के, खुल्ला छुट्टा कराने आई हुस्न की तिल्ली से बीड़ी-चिल्लम जलाने आई
Bichhoo mere naina badi zehreeli aankh maare Kamsin kamariya saali ik thumke se laakh maare Note hazaaron ke, khulla chhutta karaane aayi Husn ki tilli se beedi-chillam jalaane aayi
English Translation:
Scorpion in my eyes, strikes with a deadly gaze
This young waist, kills lakhs with one sway
Came to break thousands of notes into change
Came to light beedis and chillums with my beauty’s spark
Chorus
आई चिकनी चमेली छुप के अकेली पव्वा चढ़ा के आई आई चिकनी चमेली छुप के अकेली पव्वा चढ़ा के आई
Aayi chikni chameli Chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi Aayi chikni chameli Chhup ke akeli pawwa chadha ke aayi
English Translation:
Here comes Chikni Chameli
Sneaked in alone, after a quarter of liquor
Here comes Chikni Chameli
Sneaked in alone, after a quarter of liquor
Verse 1
जंगल में आज मंगल करुँगी भूखे शेरों से खेलूंगी मैं मक्खन जैसी हथेली पे जलते अंगारे के लुंगी मैं
Jungle mein aaj mangal karungi Bhookhe sheron se khelungi main Makkhan jaisi hatheli pe jalte Angaare ke lungi main
English Translation:
Today I’ll create chaos in the jungle
I’ll play with hungry lions
On butter-soft palms, I’ll dance on burning coals
Verse 2
हाय गहरे पानी की मछली हूँ राजा घाट घाट दरिया में घूमी हूँ मैं तेरी नज़रों की लहरों से हार के आज डूबी हूँ मैं
Haay gehre paani ki machhli hoon raja Ghaat ghaat dariya mein ghoomi hoon main Teri nazron ki lehron se haar ke Aaj doobi hoon main
English Translation:
Alas, I’m a fish from deep waters, O king
I’ve swum through every riverbank
Defeated by the waves of your gaze
Today, I drown
Bridge
होए जानलेवा जलवा है देखने में हलवा है प्यार से परोस दूँगी टूट ले ज़रा ये तो trailer है पूरी फिल्लम दिखाने आई हुस्न की तिल्ली से बीड़ी-चिल्लम जलाने आई
Hoe jaanleva jalwa hai dekhne mein halwa hai Pyaar se paros doongi toot le zara Ye toh trailer hai poori film dikhaane aayi Husn ki tilli se beedi-chillam jalaane aayi
English Translation:
Oh, my charm is deadly, looks like dessert
I’ll serve it with love — go ahead, take a bite
This is just the trailer, came to show the full movie
Came to light beedis and chillums with my beauty’s spark
Final Chorus
आई चिकनी चमेली छुप के अकेली पव्वा चढ़ा के आई आई चिकनी चमेली छुप के अकेली पव्वा चढ़ा के आई
English Translation:
Here comes Chikni Chameli
Sneaked in alone, after a quarter of liquor
