Swap/Nimo
Eye hie soo chaleche yaar,
Kusoo nai baila chokri ne paisa
Mare tho America javuche ne millionaire thavuche
Evu chai, thya su karse ena kartha aiya re
Thane kabar nathi pardthi, India maa kasu nathi
Akho divas bhanvanu ne cricket ramvanu pan ena pachi su
Papa su bolse, mami tho radsej, kochu thane thari sate badha tho lades
Ema su, kasija, ave ooh jowchu, mari jingi pachi lochu avirite moto tochu
Badha ne kaida ooh garib nati revano,
Badha ne kaidas thya America ma revado
Navai lageche, dharma ni yaad nai, todik dook bi nai,
Lagan karis koni sathe
Mare pivuche, tho pivade ah navu pani
Tho jaa, pun maro dil tho resej Hindustani

Chorus
Maru dhil, my heart, maru loi, my blood from the start
Mari nath, my family two worlds apart,
How do I move on bhai,
Kevirithe jais, cuz no matter where I go,
My sould is in the same place

Nimo
dear bro its been a long time since we talked,
four years since I stepped off that plane, how’s mom and pops
as for me I’m workin’ hard learnin’ the ropes of the game
I went from a nobody to lots of fortune and some fame
In my own eyes, I think I’m doing really well,
Got lots of money so tell nobody to worry about my wealth
As for my health, well, it could be a little better
But take care of yourself, love your bro, I’ll storm through this weather
Swap
Maro bhai, mane lageche ke thane bho faveche
Saru tho jivan jivo pun thabyat kevi lageche
Mami ne papa ni yaad aveche ke bulighayo
Emni thabyat bagdeche jare thu pasai pache padigayo
Harigayo, ah jingi aveche ne jaiche
Saru to maro bhai, saro bhai, thu maro dhai chu,
Tho maro bhailu, thu maro dhil chu
Seni mate avirete jivan jivu chu

Nimo/Swap
Hello my brother how are you
Bhai kem che
You like my new suit just got it tailored Sergio valente
Ah mari vow meena ne apri baby chivani, besija kasu kah, cha, nasto ke pani
Here’s a gift for your wife, a baby doll for your girl,
I can’t wait till its my turn to bring a new life into this world
Tho lagan kyare karis, threes varus pathigaya
There’s no time for all that and I refuse to do a biodata
Family joyeche, pun lageche ke maligayo,
Thu ne thara paisa, tharo lagan thaygayo
Let it go, let it flow, I already know where I stand
What I have, my two hands, my one life and my fam
Aah vaat, kari che, ke thu kali kali boluchu,
Why do you keep on asking me this, you know that you know its true
Evu che? I guess that’s it…
Ave ooh America jochu..
No I would never let you go what I’ve gone through

Funny Retorts

I am nobody.
Nobody is perfect.
Therefore, I am perfect.

God is love.
Love is blind.
Ray Charles is blind.
Therefore Ray Charles is blind.

Q. Which is worse, ignorance or apathy?
A. I don't know and I don't care.

24 hours in a day.
24 beers in a case.
Coincidence?
I think not!

No one ever says, "It's only a game." when their team is winning.

Ham and Eggs.
A day's work for a chicken;
A lifetime commitment for a pig.

I still miss my ex.
But my aim is getting better.

To all you virgins:
Thanks for nothing!

If you think there is good in everybody,
you haven't met everybody.

I was only looking at your nametag, honest!

It's a small world,
so you have to use your elbows a lot.

I spent most of my money on whisky, women and cigarettes.
The rest, I just wasted.

It may be your sole purpose in life to simply serve as a warning to others.

If ignorance is bliss, you must be orgasmic.

People who say you can't buy happiness, just don't know where to shop.

Join the army.
Travel the world,
meet interesting people,
and kill them.

We are born naked, wet and hungry.
Then things get worse.

Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I had to kill because they pissed me off.

Don't drink and drive.
You might hit a bump and spill something.

Reality is only an illusion
that occurs due to a lack of alcohol.

It's not whether you win or lose but how you place the blame.

If we weren't meant to eat animals then why are they made of meat?

I didn't fight my way to the top of the food chain to be a vegetarian.

Red meat is not bad for you.
Fuzzy green meat is bad for you.

If you are going to lay around the house and drink beer all day, you've gotta start early in the morning.

Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day.
Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

I want to die asleep like my grandfather, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

I'm not insensitive.
I just don't care.

One good thing about alzheimer's is you get to meet new people every day.

Artificial itelligence is no match for natural stupidity.

Always give 100% at work:
12% Monday
23% Tuesday
40% Wednesday
20% Thursday
5% Friday

The latest survey shows that three out of four people make up 75% of the population.

Confession is good for your soul,
but bad for your career.

Meetings.
A practical alternative to work.

To err is human.
To forgive is against company policy.

Tell me again how lucky I am to work here.
I keep forgetting.

If you love something set it free.
If it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it.

I think sex is better than logic,
but I can't prove it.

- bumper sticker -
Horn broken. Watch for finger.

Kinky is using a feather.
Perverted is using the whole chicken.

The statement below is true.
The statement above is false.

Is reading in the bathroom considered multitasking?

Chaos, panic and disorder.
My work here is done.

I can only please one person per day.
Today is not your day.
Tomorrow is not looking good either.

Atheism:
A non-prophet organization.

How much can I get away with and still go to heaven?

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

I don't have a license to kill.
But I do have a learner's permit.

First draw the curve,
Then plot the data.

Life is uncertain...
Eat dessert first!

I pretend to work.
They pretend to pay me.

All I want is less to do,
more time to do it,
and more money
for not getting it done.

Some push the envelope.
Some just lick it.
And some can't find the flap.

The faulty interface lies between the chair and the keyboard.

Wanted:
A meaningful overnight relationship.

Sometimes I wake up grumpy.
Other times, I let her sleep.

I'm busy.
You're ugly.
Have a nice day.

VIDEO: The Many Faces of Romania

7 mts 38 secs

Click on the image above, and then click on play button once it becomes available.

Very interesting video. Interesting and informative.

But towards the end, if Bush's endorsement is supposed to lend any credibility to the little nation, I must say the the makers of the video are sorely mistaken. All that Bush's appearance does is remind one of the fact that Romania was a member in Bush's "coalition of the willing", and trust me, that is not a pleasant memory.

Anyways, Bush aside, the video provides a glimpse into this beautiful country.
