Tunak Tunak Tun translation

All last week at CIY, the morning session included grooving out to a wierd song from a singing/dancing Indian (country... not Native American) dude. We wondered what the lyrics were... If you missed it, HERE'S the video on this blog.

Today, Sandy sent me a translation...
If you've always wondered, but never knew, here are the lyrics:
