What is the meaning of Janu Janu Lyrics from By Any Means?
The poet crafts a tale of loyalty and danger, mixing modern grit with traditional Punjabi imagery. In one standout line, he sings, ‘I’ve got a rifle hidden beneath my loyi shawl.’ The story follows a man caught between love and a life of risk, with every word sharp and deliberate.
Ni main loyee ch lakoi s#ntaali hundi aaI’ve got a rifle hidden beneath my ‘loyi’ shawl,
Te main dakuan nu pind jaa ke m#ar dina aaAnd I head to the village to eliminate the bandits.
Jail naalo jaada safe kite vi nahiThere’s nowhere safer than being behind bars,
Tanhi bail de aa paperan nu paarh dina aaThat’s why I just tear up my bail papers.
Mere naa te Toronto munde deal kardeYoung men in Toronto are striking deals in my name,
Dil pathar pyar nahio feel kardeWith hearts of stone, they don’t feel a shred of love.
Ni main nobu vich dinner vakeela nu karavaI’m hosting dinners for lawyers at ‘Nobu’,
Mere vairi s#ale gaddiyan steal kardeWhile those damn rivals of mine are out stealing cars.
Kacha kh#on variyan da moonh nu laggaI’ve got the taste of my enemies’ raw blood on my lips,
Mainu bada mazza aunda aa shikaar kar keAnd I get a real thrill from the hunt.
Janu janu mitaran nu kehn waliye ni kite jaan na gwaali akhan chaar kar keYou, who keeps calling me ‘sweetheart’, don’t lose your life after falling for me.
Ni main pee ke sharaban bardka ni mardaI don’t just drunkenly boast after drinking liquor,
Hunda number track meri kaali car daWhile my black car’s license plate is always being tracked.
Kehndi tere bina kat na ni cake ikkivanShe says she won’t cut her twenty-first birthday cake without me,
Pura karunga dream ik sohni naar daAnd I’ll fulfill that beautiful woman’s dream.
Kive deman dil meri life riskyHow can I give my heart when my life’s so risky,
Ik huni huni roiye aa pyar kar keEspecially since I’ve only just finished grieving a past love?
Janu janu mitaran nu kehn waliye ni kite jaan na gwaali akhan chaar kar keYou, who keeps calling me ‘sweetheart’, don’t lose your life after falling for me.
Janu janu mitaran nu kehn waliye ni kiteYou, who keeps calling me ‘sweetheart’, don’t…
Kal geya main France bas coffee peen lyiI flew to France yesterday just to grab a coffee,
Dilon milda pyar mainu UK da kudeAnd I receive heartfelt love from the UK, girl.
Kaala parna te paaka naal baaz hunda aaA black ‘parna’ turban, a ‘paaka’ blade, and a hawk by my side,
Signature style tere Sukha da kudeThat’s the signature style of your Sukha, girl.
Darr saada kabaristan vich viOur fear even lingers in the graveyards,
Kam li plan kude do hunde aaBecause girl, there are always two plans for every mission.
Hath keda paalu asmaan vich viWho’d dare lay a hand on us, even in the sky,
Adhe ta plane ch bro hunde aaWhen half the guys on the plane are my brothers?
Hathan na vi thona nu m#rord dine aaWe’ll even snap necks with our bare hands,
Asi nhi brave h#thiyar kar keWe aren’t brave just because of our weapons.
Janu janu mitaran nu kehn waliye ni kite jaan na gwaali akhan chaar kar keYou, who keeps calling me ‘sweetheart’, don’t lose your life after falling for me.
Janu janu mitaran nu kehn waliye ni kiteYou, who keeps calling me ‘sweetheart’, don’t…
