Mittran De Dere Lyrics Translation – Bhadauria Soundtrack
GX Virk describes the return to a village after a long absence, where even the locks on doors seem angry. The lyricist mentions a grandfather’s shotgun, shouting to be taken down from its wall hook. The line, ‘Take me down from this wall hook,’ brings a sense of readiness and ancestral pride.
Oh saara taam jaam hogyaEverything’s been sorted out now,
Bahr parche chon naam hogyaAnd my name’s finally been cleared from the police files.
Ni bas dholi reh gya kudeyOnly the drummer’s left to arrive, girl,
Book kar dita band baajaI’ve already gone and booked the wedding band.
Ni mittran de deryan da chetti khullu darwajaThe doors to our ‘deras’ or social camps will be opening soon.
Ni hale jatt udd hoye ne pind maare mittran nu vaajanSince us Jatts are free now and the village is calling out for us,
Mittran ton sohniye ni taaley vi naraz neBeautiful, even the locks on our doors seem upset with us.
Diwalian naraz te diwale vi naraz neThe festivals have been sour and the very walls of our home feel cold.
Mittran ton sohniye ni taaley vi naraz neMy love, even the locks are angry that we’ve been away so long.
Diwalian naraz te diwale vi naraz neThe celebrations have been dim and our surroundings feel distant,
Haye khadian ne maavan darran teOh, our mothers have been standing at the doorsteps,
Roj mangiyan ne jinna faryiadanPraying every single day for our safe return.
Ni mittran de deryan da chetti khullu darwajaThe doors to our gathering spots will be opening up very soon.
Ni hale jatt udd hoye ne pind maare mittran nu vaajanNow that we Jatts are finally free and the village is welcoming us back.
Laanyan de laane ni khilarke gye aanWe’ve scattered entire rival clans as we moved through,
Arhde si jehde chaddey paadke gye aanAnd those who tried to block us were utterly defeated.
Laanyan de laane ni khilarke gye aanWe cleared out whole lineages of those who opposed us,
Arhde si jehde chaddey paadke gye aanTearing through anyone who dared to stand in our way.
Ni darr saada chakkya gyaOur fear has finally been lifted from the land,
Jaave vadh jina vadhda ae vaaddaSo let our reputation grow as much as it possibly can.
Ni mittran de deryan da chetti khullu darwajaThe gates to the friends’ camps are about to swing open.
Ni hale jatt udd hoye ne pind maare mittran nu vaajanThe Jatts have taken flight and the village is calling our names,
Killi utton jatta oye utaar mainu cheekdi“Take me down from this wall hook,” the gun screams to the Jatt.
Daade aali mittran nu 13 bore deekdiMy grandfather’s old ’13-bore’ shotgun is waiting for me.
Killi utton jatta oye utaar mainu cheekdiIt’s literally shouting to be taken down from its resting place,
Daade aali mittran nu 13 bore udeekdiThat classic weapon of my ancestors is longing for action.
Pau virak padake thuhe ch je fer hoyian kise vi khaajanIt’ll fire off rounds right where it hurts if anyone starts looking for trouble again.
Ni mittran de deryan da chetti khullu darwajaThe doors to our hideouts will be opening up very soon,
Ni hale jatt udd hoye ne pind maare mittran nu vaajanNow that us Jatts are free and the village is shouting our welcome.
The meaning behind ‘Mittran De Dere’ is about reclaiming one’s place in the world. Hustinder’s Punjabi lyrics celebrate freedom and the joy of returning home.
