From Pomegranates to Tomatoes
In 50 years, subcontinental tastes seem to have gone from seed to pulp.
Ichakdaana Bichakdaana, daane upar daana,
Chhat ke upar ladki naache, ladka hai deewana
Bolo kya? Anar!
One little seed, two seeds, seed upon seed,
The girl dances on the roof, the boy is enamored
Guess what? A Pomegranate!
(Viewer discretion advised below.)
Tippa dile goila jaibo, ras jato poira jaibo
Duidin pare khaio bandhu, jatan koira raikho
jouban amar lal tomato, hai hai jouban amar lal tomato
Squeeze it and it'll melt, all the wet juice will run...
Wait two days to eat it, friend, keep it with care
My youth's a red tomato, yoohoo my youth's a red tomato.
If these do not load properly, try here and here.
