Drive By Lyrics English Translation by Manna Music | Simar
The songwriter describes a man driving around just to catch a glimpse of her, but she’s unimpressed. A standout line, ‘I’ve brushed off so many lovers like Ranjha and Mirza,’ highlights her self-assured attitude. Simar’s voice carries the story, adding a touch of defiance to every word.
Gaddi vich ghere barhe maareYou’ve been making so many rounds in your car,
Dekhan de maarejust to catch a glimpse of me.
Tang bada karda tuYou’re really annoying me,
Gaddi vich ghere barhe maaremaking all those rounds in your car.
Dekhan de maareJust to catch a glimpse,
Nakhre tu karda kyunwhy are you showing such attitude?
Sadi taur di rees tu kardaYou keep trying to copy my style,
Jithe javein tuno matter where you go.
Sada na hi chaldaMy name’s the only one that carries weight,
Ranjhe mirze ve asi kinne vaareI’ve brushed off so many lovers like ‘Ranjha’ and ‘Mirza’,
Dekho kinne haarelook at how many have failed.
Tere nalo chaure gabruThere are guys with way more swagger than you.
Tere kolon na mein langaI don’t even pass by your way anymore,
Tera rah chud taI’ve completely abandoned your path.
Tera pyar chud keI’ve walked away from your love,
Dilo baar kud taand I’ve thrown you out of my heart.
Dauliyan’ch jaanThere’s strength in these arms,
Par yaari’ch na jorbut you can’t force a relationship.
Hun teri naiyon teri naiyonNow I don’t, I don’t,
Teri naiyon lorhI don’t need you anymore.
Jawab vi ni dinda sawal ni puchdaHe doesn’t give answers or even ask questions,
Laare bade laake nehre aake ni tu chukdamaking excuses after getting close, but you never follow through.
Sade vargi na kardi teri khairA girl like me won’t tolerate your nonsense,
Sare sher’ch Simar de charchenow Simar’s name is being talked about all over the city.
Mera na rarkeDoes my name bother you,
Jadon vi lang da tuwhenever you’re passing by?
Gaddi vich ghere barhe maareYou’ve been making so many rounds in your car,
Dekhan de maarejust to catch a glimpse of me.
Tang bada karda tuYou’re really annoying me,
Gaddi vich ghere barhe maaremaking all those rounds in your car,
Dekhan de maarejust to catch a glimpse,
Nakhre tu karda kyunwhy are you showing such attitude?
Sadi taur di rees tu kardaYou keep trying to copy my style,
Jithe javein tuno matter where you go.
Sada na hi chaldaMy name’s the only one that carries weight,
Ranjhe mirze ve asi kinne vaareI’ve brushed off so many lovers like ‘Ranjha’ and ‘Mirza’.
Dekho kinne haareLook at how many have failed,
Tere nalo chaure gabruthere are guys with way more swagger than you.
Akhan billian billauri uthon sherni di torWith light-colored crystal eyes and the walk of a lioness,
Hath naiyon auni tenu labni na horyou’ll never get me, and you’ll never find anyone like me.
