Like A Snake
Badshah | Raftaar • From “Ek Tha Raja”
Like A Snake Lyrics Translation (from “Ek Tha Raja”)
Aastha Gill compares dance moves to venomous strikes with lines like ‘Body Moving Like A Snake’. Badshah warns ‘Duniya tarasti sabko nai dasti’, framing desire as a risk in club settings.
Body Looking Like A SnakeHer body looks just like a snake.
Body Moving Like A SnakeHer body’s moving like a snake.
Body Like A Mamba Mama Bole Tham BaHer body’s like a mamba, making everyone say, ‘Wait a minute’.
Baby Daale Sona Baaki Saari TaambaBaby’s wearing pure gold, while everyone else is just copper.
Kabhi Kare Salsa Kabhi Kare SambaSometimes she does the salsa, sometimes she does the samba.
Chadh Gayi Parvat To Uncha Uncha LambaIf she climbs a mountain, it becomes tall and steep.
Baby Python Hai Alag Hi Zone HaiBaby is a python; she’s in a zone of her own.
Haye Teri Khushbu Zehri Cologne HaiOh, your scent is like a ‘dangerous’ cologne.
Kabhi Launda Maun Hai Kabhi Launda Gone HaiSometimes a guy goes silent, sometimes a guy is just gone.
Saath Mein Naache Tere Jo Wo Launda Kaun HaiWho’s that guy dancing there right beside you?
Hile Jaise Viper Floor Pe HyperShe moves like a viper, getting hyper on the floor.
Kare Shut Down Jaise Badshah Ka CypherShe shuts it down like a ‘rap performance’ by Badshah.
Ye Thoda Daayein Kar Vo Thoda Baayein KarMove this a bit to the right, and move that a bit to the left.
Boli Kabhi Kiya Nahi Maine Bola Try KarShe said she’s never done it, so I told her to give it a try.
Duniya Tarasti Sabko Nai DastiThe world craves her, but she doesn’t ‘strike’ just anyone.
Lega Mera Kash Tu Doobe Teri KashtiIf you take a puff of my vibe, your ship’s gonna sink.
Aage Hai Shehar Saara Peeche Saari BastiThe whole city’s ahead, and the neighborhood’s behind.
Kitno Ki Aage Peeche Mit Gayi HastiSo many people have lost their identities chasing her around.
Jam Bharo Baabu Ab Sharabor Karo BaabuFill the glass, mister; now get us drenched in it, mister.
Yoon Na Chhodna Aadhe Mein Kaam Tamaam Karo BaabuDon’t leave it halfway; finish what you started, mister.
Bombay Ye Body Delhi Ka MakeThis body is from Mumbai, with a look from Delhi.
Sab Hai Original Kuch Bhi Na FakeEverything’s original; there’s nothing fake here.
Aag Se Pehle Hi Nikle Hain SekThe heat is radiating even before the fire starts.
Body Moving Like A SnakeHer body’s moving like a snake.
Body Moving Like A SnakeHer body’s moving like a snake.
Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Dha Ni Sa Chhora Lera Ghana PaisaRunning up the scale, this guy is making plenty of money.
Kabhi Lage Nora Si Wo Kabhi Lage Mona LisaSometimes she looks like ‘dancer’ Nora, sometimes like the Mona Lisa.
Do-Re-Mi-Fa-So-La-Ti-Do Jal Gaya Shola Thi WoThrough the notes, she was a spark that caught fire.
Fantasy Wo Lady Le Ri Body Cola-Cola Ki WoThat lady’s a fantasy, with a ‘perfect’ hourglass figure.
Proper Patola Thi Colony Mein Rola ThiShe was a ‘stunning girl’ who caused a stir in the neighborhood.
Paas Na Aa Tu Phir Bolegi Ki Bola NahiDon’t come close, or you’ll say later that I didn’t warn you.
Bhara Hua Poora Thi Ek Poora Tola ThiShe was the complete package, worth her weight in gold.
Tikti Na Dharti Pe Udan Khatola ThiShe didn’t stay on the ground; she was like a ‘flying chariot’.
Oh No Peeche Tere DonoOh no, both of them are right behind you.
Kaatti Tu Ladkon Ka Jaisa Koi Phone HoYou cut guys off as if you’re hanging up a phone call.
Kisi Se Na Darna Chahe Tu Alone HoDon’t be afraid of anyone, even if you’re alone.
Pitega Repeat Pe Chahe Kahin Ka Bhi Don HoHe’ll get beaten on repeat, no matter which ‘boss’ he thinks he is.
Sab Mere Naam Karo Baabu Sab Saare Aam Karo BaabuPut it all in my name, mister; make it all public, mister.
Yoon Na Chhodna Aadhe Mein Kaam Tamaam Karo BaabuDon’t leave it halfway; finish what you started, mister.
Delhi Ke Launde Na Kare HesitateThe guys from Delhi don’t hesitate at all.
Kaand Karaayegi Aise Na Tu DekhDon’t look at me like that, or you’ll cause some trouble.
Dab Gaya Panja To Lagegi Na BrakeOnce the pedal is floored, the brakes won’t work anymore.
Body Moving Like A SnakeHer body’s moving like a snake.
Body Moving Like A SnakeHer body’s moving like a snake.
Body Looking Like A SnakeHer body looks just like a snake.
