Lyrics: Maninder Kailey
Hona apna viah te alag haaniya
Jinu khad-khad vekhu sara jag haaniya (x2),
Our marriage will be different, my love
That everyone will stand and watch, my love (x2)
Purane sameyan de wang hi tu
Banke aa javi jatt yamla,
Like the old time
Come like Yamla Jatt (noted Punjabi singer who turban tying style was different and became popular just like his songs)
Mundeya chad ke aawin ve…
Boy, come leaving…
Mundya chad ke aawin ve
Mere layi suhi pagg da shamla (x2).
Boy come leaving
A knot of red colour turban (x2)
(Shamla is basically a turban tying style in which man leaves a piece of cloth of his turban on his shoulder.)
Sunni hove na baraat
Janji paun boliyan,
The procession should not be silent
The people in procession should sing songs, couplets and dance
Geet shagna de gaun maawn diyan toliyan
Apne viah da hove saareyan nu cha ve,
Veer mere ghodi utton lain tenu lah ve,
Group of mothers are singing songs of auspicious ceremony
Everyone should be happy of our marriage
My brothers will remove you from the mare (she-horse)
Ainvaye palace-an ch ki karna
Sajauna pind wala hai bangla.
We’ll not celebrate in some Palace
We’ll decorate our village house
Mundeya chadd ke aawin ve…
Boy, come leaving…
Mundya chad ke aawin ve
Mere layi suhi pagg da shamla (x2).
Boy come leaving
A knot of red colour turban (x2)
Paake makhna tu aayin kurta te chadra
Gal kaintha vi sajayin mereya bahadra.
My love, wear traditional outfit – the kurta and chadra
And also wear Kaintha in neck, my strong man (traditional men’s jewellery)
Bhain meriyan jo teriyan lagan saaliyan
Aawin bach ke makhaul ne karan waliyan
My sisters who are your sisters-in-law’s
Come carefully from them if they will tease you too much
Ve tu mere naalo sohni vekh ke
Ainvaye ho na jaawin kamla.
Seeing someone beautiful than me
Don’t you get crazy
Mundya chadd ke aavi ve,
Boy, come leaving…
Mundya chad ke aawin ve
Mere layi suhi pagg da shamla (x2).
Boy come leaving
A knot of red colour turban (x2)
Main vi silk de suit wich baithun ghund kadd ke
Gand tere naal bannu bapu hath mera chadd ke,
I’ll also sit wearing silk dress with veil on my head
My dad will tie my knot with you holding my hand
Char lawaan nal pooriyan ve hon giyan rasmaan
laggiyan nibhaun diyan khaniya ne kasmaan.
With four rounds the rituals will be completed
We’ll swear about fulfilling our vows
Balle tainde laage E ve
Main tera phul Kailey tu gamla,
The alliances are made
I’m your flower, Kaliey (Lyricist) you are my flower-pot
Mundya chad ke aawin ve
Mere layi suhi pagg da shamla (x2).
Boy come leaving
A knot of red colour turban (x2)
