Baaki Sab Theek Lyrics Translation (from “Bhediya”)
Amitabh Bhattacharya contrasts picturesque sunsets with rattling car bolts and malaria risks. His lyrics describe risking lives for pennies to repay debts while neighbors ask superficial questions about wellbeing.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Baaki Sab Theek Hai NaEverything else is fine, right?
Bas Chal Raha Hai BhaiIt’s just going on, brother.
What About YouWhat about you?
Haan Chal Raha HaiYeah, it’s going on.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Baaki Sab Theek Hai NaEverything else is fine, right?
Haan Theek HaiYeah, it’s fine.
Aur Tera Bas Chal Raha HaiAnd for you, it’s just going on.
Itna Manmohak View HaiThe view’s so mesmerizing.
Itna Sannata Kyun HaiWhy’s there such a silence?
Dekho Na Dhalta SoorajJust look at the setting sun,
Dheere Dheere Dheere Dheere Dhal Raha HaiIt’s slowly, slowly sinking away.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Tu Bhi Kuch Bol Re PushpaYou say something too, Pushpa.
Bas Kilometer Ginte GinteJust by counting the kilometers,
Apna Time Nikal Raha HaiMy time’s slipping away.
Aage Chal Ke Jab AayeWhen we find, further ahead,
Road Koi Dhang KaA road that’s actually decent,
Side Lagana Mujhe Aayi LaghushankaPull over; I’ve got a ‘call of nature’.
Itne Khaddon Se Hoke Nikli Hai GaadiThe car’s gone through so many potholes,
Nutbolt Hil Gaya Hai Har Ang KaEvery joint in my body’s shaken loose.
Jungle Hai Saara Surakshit Nahi Hai AreaIt’s all a jungle; this area’s not safe.
Upar Se Machhar Machhar Mein Dengue MalariaOn top of that, there are mosquitoes, and with them come dengue and malaria.
Milne Ko Mil Bhi Sakti Hai Koi Junglee SundariYou might even meet some wild beauty,
Ya Sundari Ke Chakkar Mein Koi Junglee BhediyaOr instead of a beauty, a wild wolf.
Bhediya Aa Jaaye TohWhat if a wolf shows up?
Hum Sab Ko Kha Jaaye TohWhat if he eats us all?
Waise Bhi Suna HaiAnyway, I’ve heard,
Aaj Kal Bhediya Logon KaThat these days, even for the wolves,
Keto Diet Chal Raha HaiA ‘keto diet’ is going on.
Baaki Sab TheekEverything else is fine.
Bas Chal Raha HaiIt’s just going on.
Zindagi Ki Tanki Mein Leak HaiThere’s a leak in the tank of life.
Uspe Saala Network Weak HaiOn top of that, the d#mn network’s weak.
Chot Pe Ragad Ke NamakAfter rubbing salt into my wounds,
Mujhe Poochhte Ho Sab TheekYou’re asking me if everything’s fine?
Ghanta Theek Ghanta TheekLike h#ll it’s fine, like h#ll it’s fine.
Ghanta TheekLike h#ll it’s fine.
Jaan De Ke Chillar Kamate HaiWe risk our lives to earn pennies.
Kist Aur Karze Chukaate HainWe pay off installments and debts.
Aur Dikha Ke Tum Daant BesharamAnd while flashing your teeth shamelessly,
Poochhte Ho Sab TheekYou ask if everything’s fine?
Ghanta Theek Ghanta TheekLike h#ll it’s fine, like h#ll it’s fine.
Ghanta Theek Baaki Sab TheekLike h#ll it’s fine, but everything else is “fine.”

Bhediya’s lyrics translation exposes society’s habit of hiding financial strain and infrastructure failures behind hollow reassurances. The track ends with explicit rejection of forced positivity through blunt Punjabi phrases.
