Janmeya si jadon main
Pangude vich peya si
Ronda vekh bapu ji ne
Hathan vich chakk leya si – oye
When I was born
I was lying in the cradle
My dad saw me crying
He took me up in his hands
Janmeya ji dina ton mahine hunde gaye
Yaar huni thode je kamine hunde gaye
After my birth, the days flew quickly, so did months
My friends (and I) started growing a little notorious
Pehli gaal chacha ji ne kaddni sikhayi (x2)
Gaalan kadd da si billa phir aam ho gaya
My uncle (father’s younger brother) taught me my first curse
Cursing, gradually, became normal for me
Are you ready?

Firstly, he started going out with a girl of my age
Secondly, he bought a stolen gun
Ikk haan di kudi de naal yaari pai gayi
Dooji chori di bandook ohne mull lai layi
Teeja daade aala asla lako ke paa leya
Chautha yaar de viah ‘ch raati neat la gaya
Yaar de viah ‘ch raati neat la gaya
Firstly, he started going out with a girl of my age
Secondly, he bought a stolen gun
Thirdly, he stealthily brought his grandfather’s weapons (weapons not guns, grandfather must be pretty notorious!)
Fourthly, he drank neat pegs at friend’s marriage (neat pegs are alcoholic pegs without mixing water, juice or col drink. Some people believe if only ice is mixed then it’s still a neat peg, while others believe it’s not a neat peg anymore)
He drank neat pegs at friend’s marriage
Khoon DJ de floor utte khillre

Ajj kal de javakan vich oo gal kithe
Eh taan coke diyan botlan de fan aan
DJ Flow di beat wajdi repeat
Chandigarh diyan gaddiyan ‘ch ban aan
Chandigarh diyan gaddiyan ‘ch
The boys of current generation lack the zeal and vigor that we have
They are fans of a bottle of coke (as in coca-cola)
DJ Flow’s beats are being played on repeat
His beats are banned in Chandigarh (Chandigarh is a city in India, apparently the best city in the world – that’s what the natives believe, proclaim and, at times, are ready to fight)
Haan! coklan ch baaki waale yaar ni banaye
Kade russ gaye te yaaron kade mann gaye – yes
Thane vich jaake bhaven report likha di
Naale kutt gaye te naale sheesha bhan gaye (x2)
I did not make these coke loving guys my friend
They are the one’s who get angry and befriend on short whims
Who go the police station and file a report
That they came, beat us, broke the windshield
Hahahahaaaa…
Ho pindon sarpanch vi matha ohnu teke ni
Thokan lagana Singga agga picha vekhe ni (x2)
The head of village also bows in front of him
Singga(Lyricist) doesn’t gives a f*ck about anything if he gets into a fight
Court te kacheri case pehn laggeya
Munda 100-100 din gharon bahar rehn leggeya
Bille di dileri Maalpur vich gedi
Ohda Bullet Safari vi nilaam ho gaya
There are cases against him in the court
The guy, at times, is not at home for more than straight 100 days
The guy still, without fearing anything or anyone, roams in his city Maalpur
Although his Safari (an SUV’s name) and Bullet is auctioned
(Royal Enfield is endearingly called bullet in India, often pronounced at bullt <bu as bu from bullet and llt as lt from cult> in Punjab)
