Gori chatkori jo katori se khilaati thi
fair girl whoes chatkori fed with a laddle
Jumme ke jumme jo surme lagaati thi
she put eye liner on every friday
Jhoothi moothi moine rajoi mein pukaara tha
she prented to call me itno the kitchen
Lohe ke chimte se lipte ko maara tha
when i hugged her she hit me with a silver spoon
Oye beeba tera chulha jale
beeba ur stoves on?
Chunni leke soti thi kamaal lagti thi
she used to sleep with her dupatta on n looked good
Pani mein jalta charaag lagti thi
looked like a candle floating in water
Beeba teri yaad na tale
beeba cant stop missing u
Goriyon ke peiron tale
Peeli peeli mehndi jale
mendhi jale
i am guessing it means theres yellow mehndi on fair girls feet

Punjabi Terminology explained :D :
chappa = half of ur palm, more specifically the four fingers. Chappa is used a measurement of sorts
charkha = wool spinning machine, it uses one wheel that is used to "spin" wool, as i've seen it, i think it's made out of wood but my memory is a but rusty
beriyaN = trees of beyr, it's a fruit typa thing
chimta = metal tongs
biba = loved one
phew Okay since i have a lot of farigh time on my hands (NOT!), the song is about the guy reminiscing about the time spent with "her". The setting is of a village hence the chulha, chimta, charkha, etc. Hope that helped, i love the song as well.
