Satinder Sartaaj’s “Bulauna Ni Aaya,” a lyrical Punjabi song, delves into the melancholy issue of unrequited love and the missing chance to express oneself. The English translation of the title is “Couldn’t Call Out.” Sartaaj also wrote the lyrics, which explore the narrator’s reluctance to declare their love as the object of their desire passes by, leaving them filled with regret and yearning. Sunny Dhinsey directed the video for this evocative music, which features Satinder Sartaaj and Sasha Vadher.
“Bulauna Ni Aaya” in Punjabi is a lament for an unsaid love, emphasizing the narrator’s internal struggle and wasted opportunity to communicate with their lover. Satinder Sartaaj’s Punjabi lyrics vividly depict a moment of squandered opportunity in which the narrator’s heart becomes brittle as glass and the wind seems to stop in expectation. The chorus line is “Kadi’n pyaar saanu jatauna ‘ni aaya!” Sartaaj sings, “Oh kolo’n di langheya, bulauna ‘ni aaya!” which translates to, “There came a time when I failed to confess my love; as he walked by, I couldn’t call out to him—my heart remained numb.” This effectively captures the song’s fundamental topic of unrequited love and the narrator’s inability to convey their feelings.
Satinder Sartaaj’s Bulauna Ni Aaya Lyrics In English Meaning
Kadin Pyar Sanu Jatauna Ni Aaya
There came a moment when I couldn’t express my love,
Oh Kolon Di Langheya Bulauna Ni Aaya
He passed by, and I couldn’t bring myself to call out to him.
Jivein Ke Udon Jan Sheeshe Di Ho Gayi
My whole being became as fragile as glass,
Jivein Ke Udon Paun Chaldi Khlo Gayi
The wind seemed to still, as if holding its breath.
Isharey Na Hatth Vi Hilauna Ni Aaya
I couldn’t even wave or make a gesture, I was frozen.
Ke Dhadkan Dilan Di Vadhi Bemumari
My heart pounded uncontrollably,
Ki Hoshohavasan Ne Layi Udari
My senses were overwhelmed, lost in a whirlwind of emotions.
Magar Hal Phir Vi Sunauna Ni Aaya
But I still couldn’t tell him how I felt.
Ohna Dekhya Si Jadon Nede Aa Ke
When he came close and our eyes met,
Ji Dassiye Ki Guzri Si Nazran Mila Ke
How can I describe the emotions that surged through me?
Fe Akhiyan Nu Ishqa Ch Upauna Ni Aaya
My eyes betrayed my love, no matter how hard I tried to hide it.
Ke Jis Than Kharhey Si Ohda Nan Vi Bhulea
I forgot where I was standing,
Han Sartaj Sanu Mukavan Te Tulea
“Sartaj,” with his unwavering gaze, captivated my heart.
Kiha Gaun Nu Sanu Gauna Ni Aaya
When asked to sing, I couldn’t utter a word.
