Itz A Hustle Lyrics Translation – Btfu Soundtrack
Aujla recalls his father calling existence a card game needing persistent play. He warns against treacherous individuals using a snake imagery from childhood lessons.
Think Big Kaka Sikh Saari Patte Di Aa GameThink big, kid, learn that it’s all a card game.
Duniya Te Daari Jivein Satte Di Aa GameThis world and its ways are like a game of dice.
Win Vi Karenga Naale Loose Vi KaregaYou’re gonna win, and you’re also gonna lose.
Putt Lagge Aa Hi Rahi Nahi Hatte Di Aa GameSon, you’ve just gotta keep playing, it’s not a game for quitters.
Oh Vaddi Soch Rakhega Te Vadda HoyegaOh, if you think big, you’ll become big.
Nahi Kadd Ton Uncha Ni Butta Bel Da GayaA creeping vine never grows taller than its support.
Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua PuttranOh, Dad says life is a gamble, son,
Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda GayaSo I just kept playing, I just kept on playing.
Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua PuttranDad says life is a gamble, son,
Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda GayaSo I just kept playing, I just kept on playing.
Oh Bina Gallon Rishte Kharab Ni HundeOh, relationships don’t just go bad for no reason.
Sarron Aale Diyan Na Gulaab Ni HundeA mustard plant will never yield roses.
Paisa Pusa Dekh Ke Na Layi SohniyanDon’t get attached to someone based on their money, beautiful.
Jyadatar Yaarian Ch Hisaab Ni HundeMost friendships don’t involve keeping score.
Bade Turre Phirde Aa JebkatreThere are plenty of pickpockets walking around.
Karke Gaddari Kithe Sang MaardeThey feel no shame when they betray you.
Dudh Na Pilayi Kaale Naag PuttranDon’t feed milk to a black serpent, son.
Dudh Peen Pichhon Aihe Dang MaardeAfter they drink the milk, they’re sure to strike.
Oh Meriyan Duawan Tere Naal SohneyaOh, my blessings are with you, my boy.
Ohne Ainni Gall Aakhi Te Main Pelda GayaHe just said that much, and I kept pushing forward.
Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua PuttranOh, Dad says life is a gamble, son,
Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda GayaSo I just kept playing, I just kept on playing.
Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua PuttranOh, Dad says life is a gamble, son,
Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda GayaSo I just kept playing, I just kept on playing.
Oh Ankhan Vichon Peeti Hoyi Sharab Ni HundiOh, the intoxication you drink through the eyes isn’t ‘liquor’.
Kade Kade Peeni Vi Kharab Ni HundiSometimes, having a drink isn’t a bad thing either.
Kise Ne Parauna Nahiyon Rui Nakk TeNo one’s going to be there to handle your final moments.
Gairan Muhre Kholi Di Kitab Ni HundiYou don’t open your life’s book in front of strangers.
Loyal Ni Hundi Kothi Car PuttranA mansion and a car are never loyal, son.
Teen Kamre Te Char PuttranWhether it’s three rooms or four, son.
Baahla Chirr Table Black Jack DaThe blackjack table won’t stand by you for long,
Sath Kithe Dave Jivein Naar Puttranit offers no more support than a woman, son.
Oh Yaaran Naal Turri Kyunki Dekheya Kade NiOh, I walk with my friends because I’ve never seen,
Bina Engine Ton Dabba Kitte Rail Da Gayaa rail car move anywhere without an engine.
Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua PuttraOh, Dad says life is a gamble, son,
Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda GayaSo I just kept playing, I just kept on playing.
Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi Aa Jua PuttraOh, Dad says life is a gamble, son,
Ni Main Khelda Gaya Ni Main Khelda GayaSo I just kept playing, I just kept on playing.
Oh Mainu Yaad Aa MereOh, I remember at my place,
Ghare Hunda Thodeya Si Aatathere was only a little bit of flour at home.
Taan Vi Aakhdi Hundi Si Ik Hor Khale MataBut even then, my mother would say, ‘Son, eat one more’.
Mere Kiddan De HalaatWhat my circumstances were,
Hone Mere Kiddan De Halaatwhat my circumstances have become,
Mainu Kithe Tak Leke Aa Gayeand where they have brought me,
Bebe Tere Paathit’s all because of your blessings, Mom.
Ni Main Chaal Kaim RakhiI kept my stride steady,
Kude Mel Da Gayaand kept moving forward, girl.
Jivein Utte Aa DubaiJust like Dubai is on the rise,
Mull Tel Da Gayathe price of oil has gone up.
Jivein Khelde Casino Loki Jua NakhroJust like people gamble in a casino, girl,
Tera Yaar Ohvein Zindagi Ch Khelda Gayathat’s how your boy has played the game of life.
Tera Yaar Ohvein Zindagi Ch Khelda GayaThat’s how your boy has played the game of life.
Oh Bapu Kehnda Zindagi AaOh, Dad says life is…
Oh Bapu KehndaOh, Dad says…
