Heer Hasdi
Garry Sandhu • From “Adhi Tape”
Heer Hasdi Lyrics Translation (from “Adhi Tape”)
Sandhu references Ranjha’s ear-piercing ritual to illustrate devotion. His Heer laughs while wandering courtyards as he drowns in alcohol. Lines compare the Jatt’s suffering to oceans while describing detachment through dance imagery.
Loko Gal Ki Sunaavan Main Pyaar DiFriends, what story can I tell you about love?
Saja Ishq Ch Mili Eh Tihaad DiThe punishment I received in love was like a life sentence.
Dukh Aihi Aake Sab Kujh Kho LeyaThe tragedy is that it came and took everything from me,
Chitta Paani Waangu Naadan Ch Paroh LeyaThreading ‘ch#tta’ through my veins as if it were water.
Assi Sab Kujh Kita Ohde VaasteI did absolutely everything for her sake,
Assi Sab Kujh Kita Ohde VaasteI did absolutely everything for her sake,
Tanhiyon Rooh Machdi PhrreAnd that’s why my soul is wandering in flames.
Ranjhe Kann Padvaake Paayian MundraRanjha got his ears pierced and wore the sacred earrings,
Te Aap Heer Hasdi Phire HoBut Heer herself just wanders around, laughing.
Jatt Daaru De Samundraan Ch RodkeAfter drowning this ‘Jatt’ in oceans of liquor,
Gairaan De Vehde Nachdi FirreShe’s off dancing in the courtyards of others.
Ranjhe Kann Padvaake Paayian MundraRanjha got his ears pierced and wore the sacred earrings,
Te Aap Heer Hasdi Phire HoBut Heer herself just wanders around, laughing.
Jatt Daaru De Samundraan Ch RodkeAfter drowning this ‘Jatt’ in oceans of liquor,
Gairaan De Vehde Nachdi FirreShe’s off dancing in the courtyards of others.
Ve Gall Sun Is Gal Da Eh RaulaHey, listen, this is what the uproar is all about.
Dukh Tod’di Aa Botal Sharaab DiA bottle of liquor helps break the pain,
Naale Bhull Jaandi Yaad Vi Janaab DiAnd it also helps me forget the memory of my ‘beloved’.
Khaare Bann De Aa Jado Billo AthruWhen my tears turn to salt, my dear,
Fer Vaari Aundi Kalam Kitaab DiThat’s when it’s the pen and the book’s turn.
Jiven Goreya Hathaan Te Mehndi Gairaan DiJust like the stranger’s henna on her fair hands,
Goreya Hathan Te Mehndi Gairaan DiJust like the stranger’s henna on her fair hands,
Syaahi Vi Taan Rachdi PhireMy ink also wanders, deeply stained.
Ranjhe Kann Padvaake Paayian MundraRanjha got his ears pierced and wore the sacred earrings,
Te Aap Heer Hasdi Phire HoBut Heer herself just wanders around, laughing.
Jatt Daaru De Samundraan Ch RodkeAfter drowning this ‘Jatt’ in oceans of liquor,
Gairaan De Vehde Nachdi FirreShe’s off dancing in the courtyards of others.
Ranjhe Kann Padvaake Paayian MundraRanjha got his ears pierced and wore the sacred earrings,
Te Aap Heer Hasdi Phire HoBut Heer herself just wanders around, laughing.
Jatt Daaru De Samundraan Ch RodkeAfter drowning this ‘Jatt’ in oceans of liquor,
Gairaan De Vehde Nachdi FirreShe’s off dancing in the courtyards of others.
Ve Gall Sunn Is Gal Da Eh RaulaHey, listen, this is what the uproar is all about.
Oh Challo Changa Hoya Cheti Cheti Tutt GayiWell, it’s a good thing our connection shattered so quickly,
Jind Mukkne Ton Sandhu Pehla Chutt GayiSandhu was set free before his life could end.
Mere Jehe Taan Pata Ni Kinne Khaa LayeWho knows how many guys like me she has devoured,
Naale Varat Ke Kinneya Nu Sutt GayiAnd how many she’s thrown away after using them.
Tanhiyon Nazaraan Chura Ke Kolo LangdiThat’s why she avoids my gaze when she passes by,
Tanhiyon Nazaraan Chura Ke Kolo LangdiThat’s why she avoids my gaze when she passes by,
Te Garry Kolo Bachdi PhireAnd keeps trying to hide from Garry.
Ranjhe Kann Padvaake Paayian MundraRanjha got his ears pierced and wore the sacred earrings,
Te Aap Heer Hasdi Phire HoBut Heer herself just wanders around, laughing.
Jatt Daaru De Samundraan Ch RodkeAfter drowning this ‘Jatt’ in oceans of liquor,
Gairaan De Vehde Nachdi FirreShe’s off dancing in the courtyards of others.
