5-7 Meaning & Lyrics (Karan Aujla)
The poet mentions ‘five or seven things’ that define his life, blending humor and pride. From a ‘Bikaneri’ special to a black stallion, the lyricist describes life’s essentials with a mix of confidence and charm. ‘When I leave the village, baby, it looks like a political rally,’ he notes, capturing his rise to fame.
Main keha yaariyan ch jatta teri meri da ni hundaI said, in friendship, Jatt, there is no ‘yours’ or ‘mine’.
Jadaan pakki aale aa saanu neri da ni hundaWe are deeply rooted, so we don’t worry about the storm.
Sutta peya sher kade chhedi da ni hundaYou should never provoke a sleeping lion,
Kalla dekh ke bagana putt gheri da ni hundaand you never corner a stranger’s son just because he’s alone.
Panj sat cheejan hun bikaneri pehli hoveJust five or seven things: first, let there be the ‘Bikaneri’ special,
Dooji hove bande khaane tor jivein baili hovesecond, a confident walk as if I’ve just been bailed out of ‘prison’.
Teeja chale naam pura gal saare faili hoveThird, the name should run the show, spreading everywhere,
Aava pindo aiddan lagge biba jivein rally hoveso when I leave the village, baby, it looks like a political rally.
Kade time si kehndi si ki aa palle palle jattaThere was a time she asked, ‘What do you even have, Jatt?’
Kehndi dekh ke ferrari kitthe challe kalle jattaNow seeing the Ferrari she asks, ‘Where are you going alone, Jatt?’
Jinne opp ne saare ve tere thalle thalle jattaAll the opposition is way beneath you now, Jatt,
Naddi dekh ke chadhayi kehndi balle balle jattaand seeing the rise, the girl just says, ‘Wow, well done, Jatt.’
Panj sat cheeja hon pehli kaali ghodi hoveJust five or seven things: first, let there be a black stallion,
Dooji beeba farm te cheeneyan di jodi hovesecond, baby, a pair of pigeons on the farm.
Teeji hove anakh ve maaya chahe thodi hoveThird is self-respect, even if the wealth is a little low,
Chadh ke aayi nu bhajj dooni ghar modi hoveand if an attack comes, I return it back home doubled.
Saade jigre nu dekhi beeba matta nu na dekhiLook at our courage, baby, don’t just look at the advice,
Takkaan nu naa dekhi ehna satta nu na dekhidon’t look at the stares, and don’t look at these injuries.
Jor gaaddaran chon hunda beeba chatta nu na dekhiStrength comes from the foundation beams, baby, don’t look at the roof,
Sirr ghum jau rakaane ehna akhan nu na dekhiyour head will spin, girl, don’t look directly into these eyes.
Panj saat cheejan hun pehli yaari pakki hoveJust five or seven things: first, let the friendship be solid,
Dooja paaya kurta te jeep thalle rakhi hovesecond, wearing a kurta with a Jeep kept underneath me.
Teeji hovi ohth ohdi ehna munda lucky hoveThird, let me have His support, making this boy that lucky,
Latta khich khich jaanda jor laala thakki hovewhile the world gets tired using all its strength to pull my legs.
Fer ki karegi mile nitt ni jeWhat will you do then, if we meet every day?
Dass main ki kara ni laga chitt ni jeTell me, what should I do if my heart just isn’t in it?
Mere sohniye dream kuch hor aitheMy dreams here are something else entirely, beautiful,
Jor baahaan ch chahida jang jitt ni jeand you need strength in your arms if you want to win wars.
Paanj saat cheejan pehla lv da leeda hoveFive or seven things: first, let there be LV clothing,
Dooja kuch karne da andar koi keeda hovesecond, let there be an internal itch to achieve something.
Teeja hove yaari aisa jebo chahe peeda hoveThird, let friendship be such that we spend even if the pocket hurts,
Jithe akhaan adh jaave sachi ehna cheeda hoveand where the eyes lock, let there truly be a hole punched through.
Mere kurta hove te tera booti aala suitI’ll have my kurta and you’ll have your boutique suit,
Chete kari firre tu ghurale aala routeyou still go around remembering the Ghurala route.
Main keha mere naal chali jado jaave gedi routeI said, when you go on the ‘gedi’ route with me,
Dekhi dedh minute bich vajju dedh sau salute main kehawatch a hundred and fifty salutes hit in a minute and a half, I said.
Panj sat cheejan hun pehli bebe khush hoveJust five or seven things: first, let Mom be happy,
Dooji meri baapu di haye rabb valla mucch hovesecond, let my Dad’s mustache stand tall with God’s grace.
Teeja saala area ch naam hove puchh hoveThird, let there be a reputation and respect in the area,
Meri jaan jaavein mere yaaran nu na kuch hoveand even if I lose my life, let nothing happen to my friends.
Ni main gaddiyan na thaalda barola jitho langgaI don’t just stop cars, I pass through like a whirlwind.
Ni main maadeyaan li maada biba changeyaan layi changgaI am bad for the bad ones, baby, and good for the good ones.
Jaane neeli chhat aala dass ohto kahda sangaThe One with the Blue Roof knows, so why be afraid of anyone else?
Bas paanj saat cheejan ohto jyada naa main manga main kehaJust five or seven things, I don’t ask for more than that, I said.
Panj saat cheejan pehla daang utte dera hoveFive or seven things: first, let me live by the power of the stick,
Dooji akh baaj aali sher jeha jera hovesecond, an eye like a hawk and a heart like a lion.
Teeja aida vedha hove kile jeda ghera hoveThird, let the courtyard be so big it spans a whole acre,
Panj sat cheejan hun hor na bathera hovejust five or seven things, I don’t need anything else.
