Chaklo Chaklo Lyrics Translation (from “Gaddi Jaandi Ae Chalaangaan Maardi”)
Kaptaan imagines bottles calling listeners to drink. Lyrics compare alcohol to friends’ protein. Characters describe shots as essential fuel for dancing.
Jadon Jhad De Amber Te TaareWhen the stars fall from the sky,
Khaali Udd De Hawa De Vich KhaareEmpty baskets fly through the air,
Jadon Ji Ja Na Igge Desi Jatt DaWhen this local Jatt doesn’t feel quite right,
Mota English Da Peg MaareHe downs a large shot of English liquor.
Sachi Aa Jande Aa NazaareHonestly, the fun truly begins,
Daaru Te Jado Nazaran PaindiyanWhen my eyes land on the dr#nk.
Ho Chaklo Chaklo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pick us up, pick us up, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Oh Dakk Lo Dakk Lo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pour us out, pour us out, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Ho Chaklo Chaklo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pick us up, pick us up, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Hoje Je Garm Tan Barf Lainde Paa NiIf it gets too warm, we’ll just add some ice.
Sardi Ch Vi Ni Peg Thanda Lagda NiEven in the winter, a shot doesn’t feel cold.
Fer Jatt Paunde Aa Ni Paunde Bhoot BhangraThen the Jatts start dancing wildly ‘like ghosts’.
Lever Na Jaake Jado Peg Vajjda NiWhen that shot hits the liver with a punch.
Bottal Aa Mehngi Kude Nede Ho Ho Behndi FirreThe bottle is expensive, girl, and it keeps drawing closer.
Assi Kithe Pine Aa Ni Ape Gall Paindi FirreIt’s not like we’re drinking it; it’s forcing itself on us.
Assi Laayi Firde Aa Peg PatialaWe’ve got our large ‘Patiala’ shots ready,
Te Tu Layi Firdi MehndiyanWhile you’re busy applying your henna.
Ho Chaklo Chaklo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pick us up, pick us up, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Oh Dakk Lo Dakk Lo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pour us out, pour us out, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Ho Chaklo Chaklo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pick us up, pick us up, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Je Yaar Koi Puch Lawe Shaam Da Ki Scene AaIf a friend asks what the plan is for tonight,
Sade Ape Bann De Jugaad Billo Daaru AaleWe’ll find a clever way to get the dr#nk, girl.
Sade Sir Bolde Record Billo Daaru AaleOur drinking reputation is legendary, girl.
Chadd De Aa Peg Di Smell Dekh Leede SadeLook at our clothes; they’re giving off the scent of shots.
Aathne Je Ladd De Aa Daaru Aale Keede SadeBy evening, our cravings for a dr#nk start acting up.
Khali Karke Manji De Thalle Rod De Na Bahuti Der BhariyaWe empty them and roll them under the cot; they don’t stay full for long.
Daaru Saali Lagdi Yaaran Nu Protein Aa KehndiyanThis dr#nk feels like ‘protein’ to us friends, they say.
Ho Chaklo Chaklo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pick us up, pick us up, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Oh Dakk Lo Dakk Lo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pour us out, pour us out, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
Ho Chaklo Chaklo Naare Ni Sanu Bottlan Kehndiyan“Pick us up, pick us up, girl,” the bottles are telling us.
