Lyrics: Varun Grover

Electric piya, electric piya
Taar bijli se patle hamare piya
Arey taar taar taar..
Arey taar taar taar
Taar bili se patle hamare piya
As thin as a wire hamaare piya


Electric piya, Electric piya
My beloved is as thin as an electric wire
O wire wire wire
O wire wire wire
My beloved is as thin as an electric wire
My beloved is as thin as an electric wire

Ghar aate hain deri se
Tutli hai road
Arey road road road
Arey road road road
Baba sahib kathin kitna rasta diya
jan nayak re halat kya khasta kiya
Riding donkeys, my horse rider piya
Getting tangled in web of spider piya

He comes home late
The road is broken
O road road road
O road road road
how difficult a path Bab sahib you have given,
O leader of people, how much you damaged my condition
My horse rider beloved is riding donkeys
My beloved is getting tangled in the web of the spider

Electic piya, electric piya
Taar bijli se patle hamare piya..

My loveless, and luck less, and messed-up piya…
arey messed up piya, arey messed up piya, arey messed up piya

My beloved is loveless, luckless and messed up
O messed up beloved, o messed up beloved, o messed up beloved

Aandhi mata bata toone ye kya biya
Sau baras jeene wale re ye kya kiya
Slipping out of my handle hamare piya
Falling into quick-sand hamare piya

O my stormed mother, whom you married me to?
O the one to live hundred years, what did you do?
My beloved is slipping out of my handle.
My beloved is falling into quick-sand.

Electric piya electric piya
Taar bijli se patle hamare piya..

to the point wher guyanese claiming it ?  ::redface::

A little closer analysis of chutney music will be helpful.

a little closer "investigation " will show where Indo Trinis came from  ::

In 1958, East Indian music finally made its debut on the recording industry with the release of an album of devotional songs, by Ramdeo Chaitoe of Suriname. His album titled, King of Suriname was quite appropriately named, as it made him a household name with East Indians not just in Suriname, but throughout the Caribbean. Although his songs were religious in nature, the use of the strong beats of the dhantal and dholak, coupled with his own creolised version of Hindi often had many listeners dancing as if it were a pop song. In fact, one song, "Raat Ke Sapna," would go on to become a huge dance hit in the decades to follow.

Although the release of King of Suriname presented a breakthrough for East Indian music, it was quite short lived, as few artists managed to succeed Chaitoe in the years to follow. It was not until the 1960’s that another Surinamese would catapult East Indian music onto the scene once again. In 1968, a woman by the name of Dropati debuted with an album of traditional wedding songs, titled, Lets Sing & Dance. Once again, although religious in nature, Dropati's songs, much like those of Ramdeo Chaitoe, went on to become huge pop hits within the East Indian community. Dropati's epic songs such as "Gowri Pooja" and "Lawa" became such big hits that they firmly secured her name in history as one of the pillars of Indo-Caribbean music (Dropati, 1993). Lets Sing & Dance along with King of Suriname remain two of the best selling East Indian albums of all time, even to this day (Chaitoe, 1993). The effects of the release of these two albums were tremendous. Not only did they prove East Indian music as a legitimate art form, but they also united the East Indians of the Caribbean regardless of whether they were Guyanese, Trinidadian, Jamaican or Surinamese. However, these two albums also showed the need for a more popular, non-religious form of East Indian music, one that would combine the high pitched dholak, dhantal & tassa beats with the folk and Hindi lyrics that made Lets Sing & Dance and King of Suriname so popular.
