Amrit Maan’s “By Birth,” AKA “Jatt Te Tarakki,” with meaning of lyrics, is a Punjabi song that transcends typical celebratory anthems. It weaves boasting self-assurance with introspective glimpses into the complexities of Jatt’s identity and personal ambition. This boastful track, set against a modern music video backdrop, delves into themes of success, heritage, and the double-edged sword of personal confidence.
The lyrics, penned and performed by Amrit Maan himself, are laced with self-assured pronouncements that celebrate his journey and Jatt’s heritage. However, the song also translation acknowledges potential downsides to this ambition, mainly through references to alcohol consumption and political connections (“Oh Residence Hai Ni Koi Punjab Ton Bina,” “2-3 Yar Pakke Rajneeti Ch”).
