Pappu Can't Dance Lyrics

If you're in India and you haven't heard the song "Pappu Can't Dance" from the movie "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na", then well what can I say, other than......... GO DROWN YOURSELF!! The song and its rocking remix have started gathering a cult status in India. Music by the legendary A.R. Rahman!! It is song 5 of 7 from the movie soundtrack album

Here are somethings I understood from the song....
About the word 'Pappu'
Some moms lovingly call their sons 'pappu', which is often used as a nickname within a household. In friendly Desi slang, it can be equated to 'Pandu'. 'Pappu' is often used to poke fun at a person. The [arguably] offensive part lies in calling a grown man pappu, which implies the weakness of a child or a lack of maturity.

About the word 'Saala'
The literal translation of the word 'saala' is, as I am sure you must know, 'b@$t@rd'. In friendly desi slang it may be considered non offensive. 'Saala' also means brother-in-law, as in wife's brother, but that is most definitely irrelevant here.

Lyrics of the original song:

This is the future man...

[Tir kit dhana tir kit dhana
ti ti dha na Lets Dance] X2

Hai muscular (hai muscular)
Hai popular (hai popular)
Hai muscular, hai popular
Spectacular! He’s a bachelor (he’s a bachelor, he’s a bachelor)
Pappu ki gaadi tez hai, Pappu kudiyon mein craze hai
Pappu ki aankein light blue, Pappu dikhta angrez hai (angrez hai)
’Rado’ ki ghadi hathon mein hai, Perfume ’Gucci’ vaala

[But Pappu can’t dance saala] X2
Haan Pappu naach nahi sakta

[Whenever they see you with a dancer they holler
whenever they see you with a dancer ] X2

[Tir kit dhana tir kit dhana
ti ti dha na Lets Dance
Par Pappu can’t dance saala] X2

[Tir kit dhana dhana dhana
Tir kit dhana na na na] X2

Paida Pappu hua to kismatein chamaki
Aur uske muh mein thi chandi ki chamchi
(hey yeh yeh) Pappu ke paas hai paisa
(hey yeh yeh) Haaton ki mail ke jaisa
(hey yeh yeh) Pappu yaaron ka yaar hai
(hey yeh yeh) Pappu dildaar hai saute hai

[But Pappu can’t dance saala] X2

Haan Pappu naach nahi sakta

[Tir kit dhana tir kit dhana
ti ti dha na] X2

Papa kehte hain bada naam karega
Mera Pappu toh aisa kaam karega
(hey yeh yeh) Pappu ke paas hai MBA
(hey yeh yeh) Karta hai France mein holiday
(hey yeh yeh) Pappu guitar bajata hai
(hey yeh yeh) Jahaan jata hai chhaa jaata hai

Par Pappu can’t dance saala

[Tir kit dhana tir kit dhana
ti ti dha na Lets Dance] X2

Tir kit dhana dhana dhana
Tir kit dhana na na na Par Pappu can’t Dance Saala
Tir kit dhana dhana dhana
Tir kit dhana na na na Par Pappu nach nahi sakta

[Tir kit dhana tir kit dhana
ti ti dha na Lets Dance] X2

(Whenever they....dancer) in Background

[Tir kit dhana dhana dhana
Tir kit dhana na na na] X2

Par Pappu can’t dance saala........
