Negative Vibe Lyrics English Translation by Devilo | Guri Lahoria
Guri Lahoria writes about isolation and negative premonitions. The poet includes the line: ‘My body burns in marhia, you feel the heat too, girl.’ The track describes the crowds at a funeral.
Badee negative vibe aaundee aaI’m getting a really negative vibe,
Jadon baitha hovan kalla sohniyeewhen I’m sitting all alone, my love.
Haan Rabb tainu mann kee liaI’ve started seeing you as my God,
Mera russ gia Allah sohniyeeand now ‘Allah’ (God) is upset with me, my love.
Velly bade rakkhe naal naal mainI’ve kept many tough guys by my side,
40 agge 40 piche sohniyeeforty in front and forty behind me, my love.
Je rahee gae kite jionde sohniyeeIf we happen to stay alive, my love,
Matthe dunia ih tekegieethen the world will bow down before us.
Te jadon aseen mare sohniyeeAnd when we finally pass away, my love,
Khad dunia ih dekhegieethe whole world will stand and watch.
Te marhia ‘ch deh baldeeAs my body burns in the ‘marhia’ (cremation grounds),
Rakane too vee sekegieeyou’ll feel the heat of it too, girl.
Te jadon aseen mare sohniyeeAnd when we finally pass away, my love,
Khad dunia ih dekhegieethe whole world will stand and watch.
Te marhia ‘ch deh baldeeAs my body burns in the ‘marhia’ (cremation grounds),
Rakane too vee sekegieeyou’ll feel the heat of it too, girl.
Mele de vaangu dekhin katth hongeYou’ll see crowds gather like they’re at a fair,
Dostan nu chhadd vairee vee haan rongeforget friends, even my enemies will cry.
Milna naheen yaar koee saade vargaYou won’t find another friend like me,
Na hee vairee saade jihe mudd aaungenor will enemies like us ever return.
Rahee jaane itthe gaddia de kafleThe convoys of cars will remain right here,
Rahee jaania ne kanna dia natteeaanand my ‘natteeaan’ (gold earrings) will stay behind.
Rahee jaana ik itthe naam jatt daOnly the name of this ‘Jatt’ (agrarian community member) will remain here,
Rahee jaania ne charhtan jo khatteeaanand the glories I’ve earned will stay.
Te vaar vaar shakal mereeAnd time and again, my face,
Tainu paauegiee bhulekhe neewill keep creating illusions for you, girl.
Te jiddan aapa mare sohniyeeAnd on the day that we die, my love,
Khad dunia ih dekhegieethe whole world will stand and watch.
Mere aapne haraunge mainuMy own people will be the ones to defeat me,
Naheen taan saukha kitthe jaana suttiaotherwise, I wouldn’t be taken down so easily.
Khush honge vaja ke taariaanThey’ll clap their hands and celebrate,
Changa S#ale da ahankar tuttiahappy that the damn guy’s pride is finally broken.
Ih dunia taan chaldee rahuThis world will just keep on spinning,
Is dunia nu kihne thammiyabecause no one has ever been able to stop it.
Bas peer ohde dil ‘ch rahuOnly the sorrow will remain in the heart,
Jihne kalla kaira putt jammiaof the mother who gave birth to an only son.
Mukeria town lahorieeLahoria from the town of Mukerian,
Jamana gall yaad rakkhugathe whole world will remember this story.
Akheeree maut sach hundee aaIn the end, death is the only truth,
Bakee bharam bhulekhe neeand everything else is just an illusion.
Badee negative vibe aaundee aaI’m getting a really negative vibe,
Jadon baitha hovan kalla sohniyeewhen I’m sitting all alone, my love.
Haaye Rabb tainu mann kee liaOh, I’ve started seeing you as my God,
Mera russ gia Allah sohniyeeand now ‘Allah’ is upset with me, my love.
