Ik Kahani – Lyrics Meaning in English – Kaka
Singer: Kaka
Music: Roop Ghuman
Lyrics: Kaka
Oh Nitt Da Auna Jana
Ohde Pind Ho Gaya Si
Ohda Bapu Mere Layi
Bharind Ho Gaya Si
It became our everyday routine
To visit her village
Her dad became
Yellow bee for me
Aakad Thodi Jyada
Ohdi Matt Niyani Si
Naal Gulaban Laddi Mainu
Lagdi Tehni Si
She had a lot of attitude
But was childish from mind
Loaded with red roses she seemed to me
Like a branch
Jidhar Vi Oh Jandi Raunak
Laggi Hundi Si
Payi Ungal De Wich Na Koi Challa
Na Hi Mundi Si
Wherever she went
There was an atmosphere of happiness
In her finger, there was no plain ring
Or wedding ring
Main Socheya Single Hougi!
I thought she would be single!
Roj Sham Nu Matha Oho
Tekan Jandi Si
Saare Pind Di Mandli
Ohnu Dekhan Jandi Si
Every evening she used to go to bow
Down and worship
The entire group from village
Used to go to see her
Kade Jandi Dargahan Te
Kade Mandir Wall Mud Di
Nigah Mere Ohde Naal Naal Si
Andar Wall Mud Di
Sometime she went to mosque
And sometimes she turned towards the temple
My sight was with her
Use to turn inside
Khud Saanwli Te Chunniyan
Surmayi Jehi Rang Diyan
Ohdiyan Sakhiyan Mainu
Dekh Dekh Ke Khangdiyan
She was of fair skin tone but her scarfs
Were of the kohl colour (black)
Her friends used to
Cough seeing me
Nange Pairi Hundi Si
Paira Wich Dhaga Kala Si
Mere Naalo Sala Kala Dhaga
Karma Wala Si
She was bare feet
And had black thread in her feet
From me that bastard black thread
Was fortunate
Yaaran De Pumppa Ne
Mera Kamm Karwata Ji
Agli Sham Nu Jaake
Main Purpose Vi Laata Ji
Pressure from my friends
Encouraged me to take next step
Next evening, I went to her
And I even proposed her
Kehndi Gall Sun Mundeya
Bohti Der Tu Laati Ve
Bapu Ne Mere Viah Di Gall
Pakki Karwati Ve
She said listen boy,
You took a lot of time
My dad has fixed
My marriage
Eh Gall Sunke Lageya
Jidda Khul Gaya Naaka Ji
Hor Koi Sassi Sohni Labban
Turr Paye Kaka Ji
Hearing this, I felt
As if the barricades/line has opened
To find some other Sassi/Sohni
Kaka ji (Lyricist) went ahead
(Sassi and Sohni are the female characters from the famous tragic love story Sassi-Punnuh and Sohni-Mahiwal; referenced in this song as a beautiful beloved)
Hor Koi Sassi Sohni Labban
Turr Paye Kaka Ji
To find some other Sassi/Sohni
Kaka ji went ahead
Bhaven Mitron Cheti Ni
Koi Shakal Bhulayi Di
Maadi Moti Gall Vi Ni
Koi Dil Te Layi Di
Whether friends, very easily
We do not forget faces
I don’t even take any small matter
To heart
Mil Gayi Je Koi Heer
Taan Ban Jawange Ranjhe Bai
Filhaal Taan Rehna Appan
Akalon Wanje Bai
If I find any Heer (beloved)
Then, we’ll also become the Ranjha (lover) (Heer & Ranjha, lead characters of tragic love story Heer-Ranjha)
As for now, we’ll stay
Numb from the wisdom
Filhaal Taan Rehna Appan
Akalon Wanje Bai
As for now, we’ll stay
Numb from the wisdom
Akal Waleya Di Duniya Wich
Mera Dil Jeha Lagdi Ni
Shatranj Waleya Naal Meri
Mehfil Da Mela Mangda Nahi
In the world of intelligent people
I don’t feel suitable
With the people who play chess
My gathering does not go well
Slow Motion Wich Udd Diyan Zulfan
Beshak Ajj Vi Dikhdiyan Ne
Par Ohde Baare Likhiyan Gallan
Khashiyan Mehengiyan Vik Diyan Ne
Her hair flying in slow-motion
Although I can still visualize
But whatever I write about her
Are sold very expensive
Ohde Baare Likhiyan Gallan
Khashiyan Mehengiyan Vik Diyan Ne
Whatever I write about her
Are sold very expensive
