Hey hoo! hoo-hoo!

On Lohri day
In Punjab, Panipat,
Sonya and Lagpat,
Sat with their friends
Surrounding the flaming fires.

They ate popocorn with gur.
They relished sesame-candy.
They exchanged hugs and handshakes
With friends, and sang songs of love.
They danced bhangra and gidhha
Till early hours of dawn:
“Hey, hey, you handsome one,
Hey, hey, you chieftain's son.
Hey hey, you beautiful one,
You're fair as the shining sun.
Hey hoo! hoo-hoo!
Hoo-hoo! hey–hoo!”
