Husan Galwatti | Kulwinder Sohi • From “UNDERDOG”
UNDERDOG’s Bombay Punjabi Lyrics English Translation
The lyricist Husan Galwatti describes a love turned sour with lines like, ‘Your departure didn’t even affect me as much as a low-value card.’ He uses sharp imagery of a farm, a woven cot, and plans to Bombay to show resilience and self-worth. The songwriter paints a vivid picture of moving on, despite past attachments.
Dukki jinna asar ni hoyeaa tere jaan daYour departure didn’t even affect me as much as a low-value card.
Geet jorhaa motor te manja dahla baan daI’m just composing songs at the farm, resting on my woven cot.
tu sochey pair ni mohali pauna jatt neYou thought this Jatt wouldn’t even step foot in Mohali again,
saada peya bnea plan bombay jaan dabut I’ve already made plans to head out to Bombay.
Goli maar duniya nu teri ta tasalli awForget the world, as long as you’re satisfied with yourself.
Baith ke vichari kithey Ghaat chadd chli awSit down and think about what a rare person you’ve left behind.
Kive ni samundra ch agg maar krjuHow could you think you could set the oceans on fire?
apne wallo ta poori laat chadd chli awFrom your side, you think you’ve left behind a blazing trail.
Tu ni hona socheaa mnauna bandd kruugaYou probably didn’t think I’d stop trying to win you over.
“Husan” da ishq v kaani vandd krugaHusan’s love will now be shared selectively and unfairly.
Ghutt peeke daayi na garrari phone laun di ni jiddey tenu yaada vich jatt tang kru gaDon’t get stubborn and call me after having a drink, on the day this Jatt starts haunting your memories.
Veham Chittey chamm da niDon’t be so proud of your fair skin.
Kach waang Bhann da’nI’ll break that ego like glass.
Mannegi j aasma’n bnaada vairi chann daYou’ll believe it when I turn the sky into an enemy of the moon.
Nakhre tere de kolo hath bnvaadiye niI’ll make you fold your hands despite all your tantrums,
Dss tera laahdiye ghmandd sohni rann datell me, should I strip away your pride of being a beautiful woman?
Hun kyu delete kre chat’n bhej bhej keWhy are you deleting chats now after sending them?
hlo hii bhaaldi snapa bhej bhejkeYou’re looking for a ‘hello’ or ‘hi’ by sending all those Snapchats.
Chadd pra deekna ni auna ni jawaab neStop waiting, because you aren’t going to get any replies.
Kossi chl Lacchiye ni aahi tere bhaag neKeep moving, Lacchi, this is just your fate.
Akh tarsaadu teri ik jhaaka len nuI’ll make your eyes crave just a single glimpse of me.
milne nu chit har dujje dangg kruga,,Your heart will ache to meet me every other moment.
Ghutt peeke daayi na garrari phone laun di jiddey tenu yaada vich jatt tang kru gaDon’t get stubborn and call me after having a drink, on the day this Jatt starts haunting your memories.
kahli muhre toye te toye ch sutt lendi niHaste leads to a pit, and you’ve thrown yourself right into one.
J hor ruk lendi khaure kinnaa sukh lendi niIf you’d stayed a bit longer, who knows how much happiness you would’ve found?
Tere peen naal paani hilleya ni jheel daThe water in the lake didn’t even stir when you took a sip.
J sabar dikhaaundi chaahe hor lutt lendi niIf you’d shown some patience, you could’ve enjoyed even more.
Dittey tere tohfe jo lasani saambhi baithey aaI’ve kept the peerless gifts you gave me safely.
Heere paun jogey aa te chaandi saambhi baithey aaI’m capable of wearing diamonds, yet I’ve held onto your silver.
Bhull v j jaayegi ta chete krvaun nuEven if you try to forget, just to remind you,
Dekh teri galey ch nishani shaambi baithey aalook, I’ve still kept your token around my neck.
Naslo’n likhari isolated aa mai ni suni galwatti aala jehre chandh jrhugaI’m a writer by birth and I’ve isolated myself; you haven’t heard the verses this man from Galwatti will craft.
Ghutt peeke daayi na garrari phone laun di jiddey tenu yaada vich jatt tang kru gaDon’t get stubborn and call me after having a drink, on the day this Jatt starts haunting your memories.
