I know this request has been posted before, but I was wondering if I could
get a translation of the Punjabi lines in "Brimful of Asha". Sorry if I'm
being redundant.....

No, no one has actually professed enough knowledge of british/indian culture to
identify the correct spelling of some of the pop culture artists mentioned in
the song.

Is there an entire verse in punjabi? The intro perhaps? I can't make out the
intro, it is too fast for me to even make out some phonetic variation. I
welcome your corrections to the below.

Mondegreens and all, heres one quick transcription that I made from my copy may
want to listen for yourself. I wonder if a knowledge of british/indian pop
culture might help?

Song: Brimful of Asha
Artist: Cornershop
album:When I was born for the 7th time

spoken intro foreign garbled...
