Deep Kalsi | Raftaar • From “Hard Drive Vol. 1”
Gangnum Lyrics Translation (from “Hard Drive Vol. 1”)
Raftaar contrasts transactional teams with unbreakable bonds: ‘Pehne saare team nahi parivaar / Tabhi woh cap nahi bechi Maine.’ Deep Kalsi reinforces persistence with ‘Humein koi ghai nahi / Ragdenge jab tak maja aaye nahi,’ framing success as a marathon.
