Sunanda Sharma’s Nanki Da Veer Lyrics Translation in English
Veet Baljit’s lyrics bring a historical moment to life, showing the bond between Bebe Nanki and Guru Nanak. The song describes her lovingly making food: “Sister Nanki cooks the rotis, her little brother sits and eats.”
Kheyal Kado Aya Veer Da, When did she start thinking about her brother?
Roti Vele Nu Tavi Te Paake,It was while she put a roti on the griddle at mealtime.
Chaundi Aake Veer Baith Je, She wishes her brother would come and sit with her,
Moohre Nikda Peedi Te Aake,right in front of her on the peedi, the small stool.
Aake Bhavein Chaat Mud Je, Even if he only visits for a moment before leaving,
Par Onda Ta Der Na Lave,she only hopes he won’t be late.
Bhain Nanki Pakawe Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khaave,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Dohan Da Pyar Vekh Ke, Watching the love between them,
Roop Rotiyan Nu Chad Doona Jave,it feels like the rotis shine even brighter.
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nika Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khawe.Her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Ho Sone To Sunakhe Thaal Nu, The platter looks more beautiful than gold,
Bhen Poonj Ke Palle De Naal Has Payi,and the sister wipes it with her scarf and smiles.
Veera Tere Aaon Naal Ve, “Oh brother, now that you’re here,
Sadi Nagri Naina Di Vass Payi,my world feels alive again.”
Haye Odon Dil Dungha Dub Da, That’s when my heart feels heavy,
Jadon Kaa Naa Veera Ve Kurlave,when not even a crow caws, which is said to be a sign a guest will come, brother.
Bhen Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khaave,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Doha Da Pyar Vekh Ke, Roop Rotiyan Nu Chad Duna Jave,Watching their love, it seems like the rotis shine twice as bright.
Bhen Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khave.and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Akh Jadon Kholi Bhain Ne, When the sister opened her eyes,
Veer Sajya Peedi Te Baitha,she saw her brother, dressed beautifully, sitting on the peedi, the small stool.
Nimma-Nimma Hasda Peya, He smiled softly,
Hath Jodke Bhain Nu Baitha,and sat with his hands folded in front of his sister.
Kenda Bibi Paade Fulka, He said, “Sister, please give me a roti,
Bhukh Pyar Di Jhalli Na Jaave,I can’t bear this hunger for your love.”
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khave,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Doha Da Pyar Vekh Ke, Seeing the love between the two,
Roop Rotiyan Nu Chad Duna Jave,the radiance of the rotis seems to double.
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khave.and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Bhain Gharo Khake Pakiyan, After eating the meal his sister made,
Roop Rabb Da Nira Khush Hoeya,Nanak, who is seen as the form of God, felt truly happy.
Si Bhain Da Didar Karna Chalo Kise Ta Bahane Hoeya,He only wanted to see his sister, and the meal was just an excuse.
Jado Hove Ghadi Mel Di Akha Mitiye Te Rabb Mil Jave,When that moment of reunion comes, it feels like closing your eyes and finding God.
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khawe,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Doha Da Pyar Vekh Ke, Roop Rotiyan Nu Chad Duna Jave,Seeing the love between the two, the rotis’ radiance seems to double.
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khawe,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Oh Chhanna Vadda Thohke Dudh Da, A large chhanna, a vessel, was filled with milk,
Bhain Kaadni Cho Bhar Ke Le’ayi,and the sister brought it, filled from the kaadni, the milk-simmering pot.
Mitha Muh Karon Vaste, Nal Gudd Diyan Daliyan Le’aayi,To sweeten his mouth, she also brought pieces of gudd, or jaggery.
Haye Laad Na Ladaundi Thakdi, She never gets tired of caring for him,
‘Veet’ Rus Na Kite Rab Jave,(The poet, Veet, says) may this God, her brother, never be displeased.
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khawe,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
Doha Da Pyar Vekh Ke, Roop Rotiyan Nu Chad Duna Jave,Seeing the love between the two, the rotis’ radiance seems to double.
Bhain Nanki Pakave Rotiyan, Sister Nanki cooks the rotis,
Nikka Veer Baitha Dahi Nal Khawe,and her little brother sits and eats them with yogurt.
