Genesis’s 13 Bande (Punjabi) Lyrics Translation
Bhaini compares his calm demeanor to a quiet river that jackals mistake for being safe. He states his group’s power comes from earned friendships, not wealth. The meaning of the ’13 Bande’ lyrics points to reputation as the main currency.
Oh Pehli Vaari Gal Billo Karaan Main Pyaar NaalThe first time, girl, I speak with love
Ni Duji Vaari Vich Banda Paa Ke Hathiyaar Naal NiThe second time, I handle a person with a weapon
Teeji Vaari Te Taan Kade Jaan Hi Nai Dinda BilloI never even let it get to a third time, girl
Kabje Te Jaa Ke Kade Dekhi Tere Yaar NaalGo and see how your man takes control of things
Ni Gallan Naal Ambraan Nu Dakk Ke Hi Aaye AanWe’ve come here after conquering the skies with our words
Billo Jattan Ne Taan Hun Tak Yaariyan KamaiyanGirl, until now, we Jatts have only earned loyal friendships
Billo Tere Shehar Val Uddi Honi Aa KhabarGirl, the news must be flying around your city
Kehnde 13 Bande Naal 3 Jeepan Aithe AaiyanThat 13 men have arrived here in 3 jeeps
Billo Jatt Te Hi Chalda Aa Case BalliyeGirl, the case is running against this Jatt
Kal Nu Hona Ae Thaane Pesh BalliyeTomorrow, I have to appear at the station
Akh Eagle Je Lad Jayi Te Aa Ni ChalniIf our eyes meet, your eagle-like gaze won’t work
Saddi Gidhraan Naal Dass Kaadi Race BalliyeTell me, what kind of race could we have with jackals?
Lain Ankhan Jo Khoh Kamm Oh Ni KareWe don’t do things that make us avert our eyes
Bade Kaarnaame Kitte Kade Show Ni KareWe’ve done many great deeds but never showed them off
Head Up Daule Pump, Fatte Chakk Ke RakhideHead up, muscles pumped, we always make an impact
Dekh Naddiyan Gaddi De Sheeshe Low Ni KareWe don’t lower our car windows to look at girls
Langhe Time Ch Rakaane Saddi Zindagi Si Hor NiIn the past, my girl, our life was different
Ni Badal Gaye Daur Chhaddi Baabe Hath DorThe era has changed, I’ve left the reins in God’s hands
Haaye Dekh Ke Shareefi Jehde Parkhan ZorThose who test my strength seeing my gentle nature
Dekhi Changi Tu Rakaane Main Banaunda Kivein Mor NiWatch carefully, my girl, how I make them turn back
Kehra Kehnda Parlo Te Kehra Kehnda Jaan NiWho is causing trouble and who is being difficult?
Tu Naam Dass, Change Dekhi Hunde Tu Bayaan NiYou just name them, and you’ll see how their stories change
Haan Pehle Bol Done Tera Phone Utte KammYes, your work gets done over the phone with my first word
Kade Hold Te Rakhda Ni ‘Bhaini Aala Khan’ Ni‘Khan of Bhaini’ never puts you on hold
Tu Dass Kyon Kardi Care KudeTell me, why do you even care, girl?
Main Bande Hi Karaan Repair KudeI’m the one who fixes people, girl
Haaye Ik Vaari Hath Phir Gaya Jatt DaOnce this Jatt lays his hands on something
Ni Kamm Ni Maghde Pher KudeThe work doesn’t get finished after that, girl
No Need Too Much, Banda Mitti Di Aa DheriNo need for much, a man is just a pile of dust
Sach Dassan Je Reality, Royalty BatheriIf I tell you the reality, I have plenty of royalty
Ohi Kare Security, Nai Hon Hunda Loss MeraHe is my security, I never suffer a loss
Ohi Aa Manager Rakaane Ohi Boss MeraHe is my manager, my girl, and he is my boss
No Need Too Much Banda Mitti Di Aa DheriNo need for much, a man is just a pile of dust
Sach Dassan Je Reality, Royalty BatheriIf I tell you the reality, I have plenty of royalty
Jehda Kare Security Ni Hun Hunda Loss MeraThe one who is my security ensures I don’t suffer a loss
Mera Ohi Aa Manager Rakaane, Ohi BossHe is my manager, my girl, and he is my boss
Oh Ohde Te Bharosa Mainu Thalle Hathiyaar TeI have faith in him, and below him, in my weapon
Ni Jihde Agge Jode Hath Rakhda Oh Yaar TeThe one before whom I fold my hands, I keep on my friends
Ni Nave Nave Hoye Aa Bathere Jehde DarrThere are many newcomers who get scared
Jande Khuddan Vich Vadh Jadon Niklan Main Maar TeThey run into their holes when I go out on the hunt
Asi Vi Sira Dekh Ke Mude Aa Badmashi DaWe’ve seen the peak of this rough life and turned back
Ni Meri Dp Laake Rakhe Munda Teri Maasi DaThe son of your aunt uses my picture as his profile photo
Gandasi Da Ni Bharda Siyalan Vich TakkThe blade of my axe is sharp, even in the winters
Lakh Balliye Karaale Koi Upaa Phir Raashi DaGirl, try a million remedies for your star signs then
Phir Kithe Tale Grehan KudeThen where will the eclipses be averted, girl?
Ghar Behke Din Katt Lain KudeThey’ll have to sit at home and pass their days
Ho Khalkat Katthi Saari AaThe whole crowd is gathered
Munda Army Aa One Man KudeThis boy is a one-man army, girl
Ho Bahli Gaddi Bharda NiI don’t keep the car too full
‘Teji’ Bina Sarda Nai, Eho Meri Gang Eho Hood AeI can’t do without ‘Teji’, he is my gang, he is my hood
90% Poora Sau Te ShareefI’m 90% completely gentle and decent
Baaki 10 Main Kiddan Da Je Tu Na Hi Jaane Good AaIt’s good you don’t know what I’m like the other 10% of the time
Ni Gabbru Da Dusty Te Tera Chitta Rang Jivein DuddhThe young man’s complexion is dusty, and yours is white like milk
Ni Turdi Tu Jivein Rajjhi Titli Rahi Udd AaYou walk as if you’re a soaring, carefree butterfly
Too Hot To Handle Tera Nakhra RakaaneYour style is too hot to handle, my girl
Dhare Jithe Jithe Pair Nave Vair Rahe Ugg AeWherever you place your feet, new rivalries sprout
Kyun Darrdi Rakh Yakeen KudeWhy are you scared? Have faith, girl
Hai Aidda Vi Ni Scene KudeThe situation isn’t that serious
Haaye Bhari Nadi Nu Shaant Dekh KeSeeing the full river so calm
Lagge Giddar Paani Peen KudeThe jackals think they can come to drink the water, girl
Thalle Baitha Tikeya Jo Khatre Ton Anjaan NeThose sitting below are unaware of the danger
Eh Ego Ch Ne Anne Rahe Sach Na PachhanneThey are blinded by ego and don’t recognize the truth
Ni Khaure Chakke Jaan Kithe Labbne Nishaan Vi NaWho knows where they’ll be taken, not even a trace will be found
Bhajdeyan Nu Ikko Je Rakaane Hunde Vaahan NeFor those who run, my girl, the fields all look the same
Ni Vatt Jeha Raula Saadi Tere Utte Mehar DaThe slight issue is just about my favor upon you
Main Pith Te Karan Na Vaar Muhre Hoke GherdaI don’t strike from behind; I surround my enemy and face them
Ni Antiyan Ch Khauff Jivein Jungle Ch Sher KehdaThe fear among my rivals is like that of a lion in the jungle
Mittran Nu Maare Lalkaara Kamm Darre DaOnly a coward would challenge a friend like me
Tu Aa Moon Main Suraj Chadhda NiYou are the moon, and I am the rising sun
Nature Saadh Schemaan Ghad’da NiMy nature is simple, I don’t plot schemes
Haaye 5-7 Laike Naal DubbungaI’ll take five or seven down with me
Ni Kalla Taan Main Marda NiI won’t be the only one to fall
