Lyrics: Gurnam Bhullar

Ek pardesi yaar banaya
Main panchi yaar banaya ni
Dil mera hoke pardeshi jaana
Mera laada banke aaya ni

I befriend a foreigner
I befriend a bird
My heart went abroad
Came as my groom

Meetho raheya ni jaana hu babul vede
Maa kyu ohde ladd laya ni
Phir aae saaha nu mehaka vanda’da
Us dada shorr machaaya ni

Now, I can’t live in my father’s house anymore
Mother, why have you bonded me with him
He is giving fragrance to my breaths
He has created a great noise

Ek pardesi yaar banaya
Main panchi yaar banaya ni

I befriend a foreigner
I befriend a bird

Ungla de paate bin daaye
Apni saah de takne naal
Apni saah de takne naal
Aan khaloja naal mere
Hassda aae mann kamle naal
Hassda aae mann kamle naal

The tips of my finger, he counts
With something
With something
He comes and stand next to me
My heart laughs with him
My heart laughs with him

Mainu paani paani kar denda aae
Mere saaha da tihaaya ni
Ek pardesi yaar banaya
Main panchi yaar banaya ni

He embarrasses me
The life line of my breath (the boy)
I befriend a foreigner
I befriend a bird

Jigar da joga aankh da paani
Saah vi assi khavaye ne
Saah vi assi khavaye ne

Attire of body, water of eyes
We have made him sworn
We have made him sworn

Ohdi yaad mae had hai tapi
Hanju vi aun ravaaye ne
Hanju vi aun ravaaye ne

His memory has crossed the limit
Even the tears have made me cry
Even the tears have made me cry

Nasheya varga tan nu lageya
Rooh rooh mera tadfaya ni

Like a drug, he has hit the body
Has tormented my soul and spirit

Ek pardesi yaar banaya
Main panchi yaar banaya ni

I befriend a foreigner
I befriend a bird
