Beats me! Soni de Nakhre

I have been looking for the lyrics of the song "Soni de nakhre" from the film Partner. It looks like the song is very popular but no one really knows what it is!

A guy at NIFT explained to me that "Popping up the chain" is a special dance move and he spent a long evening before he figured out that the lyrics were "Can we pop up the chain, can we?"

Here is what searching online gave me -

Soni de nakhre sone lagade o mainu

Oh keinde, funk funk funk

Oh jannah jannah keinde

Oh keinde funk funky jam, oh keinde

Oh jannah jannah, oh keinde

(from bollywoodlyrics.com)

soni de nakhirai soni lagidai meino (4)

oh keinde pump pump pump up (4)

oh jannah jannah

oh keindie pump up the jame oh keinde (4)

oh jannah jannah oh keinde

Many websites like www.indianjukebox.com, movietalkies.com have totally skipped the chorus in giving the lyrics.

I know for a fact that there is a "Pau" in there, you cant fool me with pump and funk!

So can some true blue Punjabi step in and solve the whole mystery and explain what the chorus means please.

Remember that song of the 80s- 'Informer' by Snow. Well surprising how it became such a super hit considering that the rap was totally unintelligible, 'licky boom boom dang'?
