Jyotica Tangri’s Sagar Pani Lyrics Translation
The anxiety shifts from a general fear to a specific person. A line states that someone “from my dusky mansion is following me.” This detail ties the “evil eye” to the cruelty of real-world unwanted attention.
Ho Sagar Pani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Ho Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Ho Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Hey Nijar Lag Jaave Re Zulam Ho JaaveOh, if the evil eye catches me, it would be a cruelty
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Ho Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Ho Maahri Saamli Haweli Walo Laare LaagoThe one from my dusky mansion is following me
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau Sa HayeI go to fetch water from the sea, oh
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Nijar Lag Jaave Re Zulam Ho JaaveIf the evil eye catches me, it would be a cruelty
Hey Nijar Lag Jaave Re Zulam Ho JaaveOh, if the evil eye catches me, it would be a cruelty
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau Sa HayeI go to fetch water from the sea, oh
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
Sagar Paani Bharba Jaau SaI go to fetch water from the sea
Nijar Lag JaaveThe evil eye might catch me
