King • From “The Gorilla Bounce”
Era Lyrics Translation King | The Gorilla Bounce
King recalls standing alone in a crowd, a moment of isolation. He compares his integrity to a lion refusing a dog’s share. These lines mark his path from hunger to reign.
Maine Logo Ke Bhi Beech Khade Dekhi TanhaayiI’ve seen loneliness even while standing in a crowd,
Jitni Kamayi Utni Hi Waah WaahiThe more I earned, the more applause I got.
Mere Paas Koyi Degree Nahi Dil Jeetne KiI don’t have a degree in winning hearts,
Dil Se Hi Gaayi Aur Kardi ChadhaayiI just sang from the heart and made my climb.
Main Kalla Bhukha Betha Reha Kayi Dina TakI sat alone and hungry for so many days,
Beri Khush Hoye Soche Chal Gaya LuckMy enemies were happy, thinking my luck had run out.
Maine Jaan Ke Yeh Saare Muh Maarne Ko ChhodeI intentionally let them all take their shots,
Kyuki Kutton Ke Hisse Ka Sher Khata Nahi HaqBecause a lion doesn’t eat the share meant for dogs.
Group Banaake Saale Karde BurayiThey form groups and talk trash about me,
Kade Gang Asli Na Aake ChakleBut a real crew never comes to take me out.
Do Chaar Dina Di Eh Temporary HypeThis is just temporary hype for a few days,
Aihnu Kaaka Saambh Ke Tu RakhleKid, you better hold onto it carefully.
Daur Aaya Mera Kayi Bande Funk GayeMy era arrived and a lot of guys just burned out,
Kabhi Phir Mere Saamne Nahi TakreThey never crossed my path again.
Woh Kya Hi Sach Se Nibhaane YaariyaanHow could they ever be true in friendship,
Ho Jihne Khud Ke Imaan Se Hi KhatreWhen they’re a danger even to their own integrity?
Daur Aaya Mera Kayi Bande Funk GayeMy era arrived and a lot of guys just burned out,
Kabhi Phir Mere Saamne Nahi TakreThey never crossed my path again.
Woh Kya Hi Sach Se Nibhaane YaariyaanHow could they ever be true in friendship,
Ho Jihne Khud Ke Imaan Se Hi KhatreWhen they’re a danger even to their own integrity?
Pyaar Jua Hai Poori Naa-InsaafiLove is a gamble, a complete injustice,
Cheen Liya Neki Jisne Baant Diya PaapiThe one who created sinners snatched away all the goodness.
Main Baant Aaya Sab Fir Kya Hi ChalaakiI gave everything away, so what cleverness is left?
Zindagi Jo Meri Kabhi Kisine Na JhaankiA life that no one has ever peeked into.
Door Se Hi Khade Mujhe Dekh RaheThey’re just standing from a distance, watching me,
Yeh Chhu Nahi Sakenge Itni Dooriyaan BanaadiI’ve created so much distance they’ll never be able to touch me.
Main Kalla Dukhi Betha Reha Kayi Dina TakI sat alone and sad for so many days,
Beri Khush Hoye Soche Raja Gaya ThakMy enemies were happy, thinking the king had gotten tired.
Maine Jaanke Yeh Saare Mauka Marne Ko ChhodeI intentionally let them all have their chance to strike,
Taaki Pata Chale Thaali Mein Tha Chhed Kahan TakSo I could find out just how big the hole in my own plate was.
Waqt Banata Koyi Banda Nahi BadTime shapes a person, no one is born bad,
Aiddan Quote Taan Duniya Hi BoldiBut that’s just a quote the whole world uses.
Mind Na Kari Mere Hathaan Ch Mashook KakaDon’t mind me, kid, my ‘lover’ is in my hands,
Chhatiyaan Puchhke Nahi KholdiAnd it doesn’t ask for permission before tearing chests open.
Daur Aaya Mera Kayi Bande Funk GayeMy era arrived and a lot of guys just burned out,
Kabhi Phir Mere Saamne Nahi TakreThey never crossed my path again.
Woh Kya Hi Sach Se Nibhaane YaariyaanHow could they ever be true in friendship,
Ho Jihne Khud Ke Imaan Se Hi KhatreWhen they’re a danger even to their own integrity?
Daur Aaya Mera Kayi Bande Funk GayeMy era arrived and a lot of guys just burned out,
Kabhi Phir Mere Saamne Nahi TakreThey never crossed my path again.
Woh Kya Hi Sach Se Nibhaane YaariyaanHow could they ever be true in friendship,
Ho Jihne Khud Ke Imaan Se Hi KhatreWhen they’re a danger even to their own integrity?
Pyaar Tu Maange De Wafa Jaan-E-ManYou ask for love, so give loyalty, my darling,
Mera Dhyaan Baaton Mein Na Rakha Jaan-E-ManDon’t try to distract me with your words, my darling.
Husan Ki Galiyon Mein Firta Main RozI wander the streets of beauty every day,
Mujhe Teri Bhi Saheliyon Ne Takka Jaan-E-ManAnd even your friends have checked me out, my darling.
Ilzaam Mera Main Na Tera HuaThe accusation is that I never became yours,
Yeh Bhi Ghaav Mera Tune Chheda HuaBut that’s also a wound that you’ve poked at.
Rishton Se Zyada Saccha Paisa Mujhe Lagta HaiMoney seems more honest to me than relationships,
Tera Hua Na Kabhi Mera HuaIt was never yours and it was never mine.
Khel Yeh Mere Saamne Kaise Kar Jaati HoHow do you manage to play these games right in front of me?
Ek Dil Ko Sabmein Baant Ke Kaise Reh Paati HoHow do you live with yourself after dividing one heart among so many?
Ho Tere Yaar Bhathere Meri Bas Ek MaaiYou may have many lovers, but I just have my mother,
Jeb Dekh Ke Pyaar Nahi KartiShe doesn’t love me based on the size of my pocket.
Naam Aur Shauhrat Aur Moti Hai KamayiMy name, my fame, and my huge earnings,
Teeno Raja Ki Baahon Mein MartiAll three surrender in the King’s arms.
Daur Aaya Mera Kayi Bande Funk GayeMy era arrived and a lot of guys just burned out,
Kabhi Phir Mere Saamne Nahi TakreThey never crossed my path again.
Woh Kya Hi Sach Se Nibhaane YaariyaanHow could they ever be true in friendship,
Ho Jihne Khud Ke Imaan Se Hi KhatreWhen they’re a danger even to their own integrity?
Daur Aaya Mera Kayi Bande Funk GayeMy era arrived and a lot of guys just burned out,
Kabhi Phir Mere Saamne Nahi TakreThey never crossed my path again.
Woh Kya Hi Sach Se Nibhaane YaariyaanHow could they ever be true in friendship,
Ho Jihne Khud Ke Imaan Se Hi KhatreWhen they’re a danger even to their own integrity?
