Lyrics: Shree Brar
Oh Waardatan Vich Loka Nu
Salahan Denna Ae
Jailo Bhajjeya Nu Jatta Ve
Panaah Denna Ae
In an accident (or misdeed), you give
Advice to other people
The one, who eloped from the prison
You give shelter to them, Jatta
Ve Chalde Faraar Ne Jatta
Ve Mile Jinna Naal Rashi Balliye
They go absconding, Jatta
With whom our horoscope match, girl
Ve Dad Karobaar Puchde
Keh Di Kare Badmashi Balliye
Ve Tu Tadke Dabbi Te Hunna Ae
Shami Chaldi Glassy Balliye
Dad askeds about your business
Tell him that he bullies people, girl
In early morning, you (boy) stay in pleasure of opium
And in evening, we take alcohol, girl
Ve Dad Karobaar Puchde
Keh Di Kare Badmashi Balliye

Tell him that he bullies people, girl
Fight Jo Hoyi
Shehar Waddi Dassde
Asla Te Teri Sigi Gaddi Dassde
They tell me that
A big fight happened in city
And, the weapons and car were yours, they told me
Aithe Dade Pardadeyan Ton
Vair Turrey Aunde Aa
Galli Baati Nahio
Sidhe Fire Turrey Aunde Aa
Here, enmity passes on
From generation to generation
We don’t talk
Just fire the gun
Na Bolli Gun Laili Londono
Ni Sann Dekh Ke 85 Balliye
Don’t tell me that you bought the gun from London
Seeing, the year of ‘85, girl
Ve Dad Karobaar Puchde
Keh Di Kare Badmashi Balliye
Ve Tu Tadke Dabbi Te Hunna Ae
Shami Chaldi Glassy Balliye
Dad askeded about your business

Tell him that he bullies people, girl
Gift Tainu Border’an Ton
Paar Aunde Ae
Ni Mere Suit Tere
Hathyar Aunde Ae
You get the gift from
Across the border
For me, Punjabi suits
And weapons for you
Lagda Bathinde Mela
Jivein Ni Chhapar Da
Sadde Aale Jadon Jailon
Baahar Aunde Ae
There’s always a procession in Bathinda
Like that of Chappar fair
When our brothers come
Out of the prison

Shree Brar Rehnde Japde
Putt Malwe Da Raja Dassde
Bande Khaas Ne Siyasi Balliye
They keep reciting Shree Brar (Lyricist)
They say that the boy is the king of Malwa

We have strong enemies, girl
