I'm pretty sure that's all there is at least to the translated
version. I assume they just gave up trying to translate the rest.
This is where my quote came from (more or less):
http://www.dtek.chalmers.se/~d00lada/hissen/disclaimer.html
The only additional information in it is this bit at the top:
Disclaimer: Well, I'm one half of the two-men team that pieced
together the "Daler och det hemliga vapnet" movie.
The subtitling is actually, as you have correctly interpreted,
swedish. It's meant to be humorous; we've tried to 'hear' words in
Swedish in the hindi song (which is called Jalwa, and is by Daler
Mehndi, India's own Will Smith) and write them down. The result is
totally grammatically incorrect but actually makes some sense
occasionally. It's equally disrespectful to all the parties involved,
as befits this kind of silliness. We made it sunday evening for a gag
after we heard the US was attacking Afghanistan, and sent the url to
a few of our friends. We never thought it'd be this widespread...
For the life of me I can't remember where I found this, but I'm
guessing it came from snuggles.
