SABBA describes her sparkling nose pin, her playful smile with thirty-two teeth, and the dramatic effect she has on the onlookers, who clutch their hearts in admiration.
Oh Saaf Payiaan Roohan Nu Nai Daag Kadon LagneWhen would pure souls like ours ever get stained?
Khaure Saade Chaunkeyan Nu Bhaag Kadon LagneWho knows when our little hangout spot will finally get lucky.
Chaa Si Chulle Utte DhariThe tea was set on the stove to brew,
Tu Jadon Khaun-Khaun KariJust as you cleared your throat to get our attention.
Chulle Utte DhariSet on the stove to brew,
Tu Jadon Khaun-Khaun KariJust as you cleared your throat to get our attention.
Saari Beh Gaye Hathan Pairan Te Pava KeWe were all left completely helpless,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiAs you turned back from the bachelors’ gate.
Tu Kihdi Lagdi Jhanjar Chhanka KeWho are you, with the jingle of your anklets,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiAs you turn back from the bachelors’ gate?
Langh Gayi Jhanjar Chhanka KeYou walked past with the jingle of your anklets,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiTurning back from the bachelors’ gate.
O Chittiyan Shirtan Pagg Gulabi Khuh Te Kapde DhoveOh, we wash our clothes at the well, with our white shirts and pink turbans.
Sabun Thoda Mail Batheri Uchi Uchi RoveThere’s just a little soap but so much grime, it makes us want to cry out loud.
Dil Vich Ki Ne Dukh Mitran DeWhat sorrows lie in a friend’s heart?
Vekhe Taan Koi TohkeIf only someone would look close enough to see.
Chhade Vichare De Koi Na Kapde DhoveThere’s no one to wash a poor bachelor’s clothes.
Chhade Vichare De Koi Na Kapde DhoveNo one’s there to wash a poor bachelor’s clothes.
Chhade Vichare DeFor a poor bachelor…
Ni Langhi Jadon Banne Utte Addiyan Ton Chakk KeWhen you walked by on the field’s edge, stepping lightly on your heels,
Osse Vele Beh Gaye Hatth Dil Utte Rakh Ke Nai Dil Utte Rakh KeAt that very moment, we all just clutched our hearts, yes, clutched our hearts.
O Langhi Jadon Banne Utte Addiyan Ton Chakk KeOh, when you walked by on the field’s edge, stepping lightly on your heels,
Osse Vele Beh Gaye Hatth Dil Utte Rakh KeAt that very moment, we all just clutched our hearts.
Adhiya Da Inna Nasha Char Gaya Jattiye NiThe sway of your walk was so intoxicating, girl,
Jadon 32 Dandan Chon Gayi Tu Kude Hass KeEspecially when you smiled with all thirty-two of your teeth.
Gutt Maari Naale Modhe Ton Ghuma KeYou flicked your braid back over your shoulder,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiTurning back from the bachelors’ gate.
Tu Kihdi Lagdi Jhanjar Chhanka KeWho are you, with the jingle of your anklets,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiAs you turn back from the bachelors’ gate?
Langh Gayi Jhanjar Chhanka KeYou walked past with the jingle of your anklets,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiTurning back from the bachelors’ gate.
O Maare Lashkare Tere Nose-Pin Nakk TeOh, the nose-pin on your nose is sparkling.
Surme Naal Akhiyan Nu Phirdi Si Dakk KeYou’ve been framing your eyes with black ‘kohl’.
Ni Phirdi Si Dakk KeYes, you’ve been framing them.
O Maare Lashkare Tere Nose-Pin Nakk TeOh, the nose-pin on your nose is sparkling.
Surme Naal Akhiyan Nu Phirdi Si Dakk KeYou’ve been framing your eyes with black ‘kohl’.
Ni Phirdi Si Dakk KeYes, you’ve been framing them.
Je Gall Ban Jave Saadi Sire Gall Lagg JugiIf things work out between us, it’ll be absolutely perfect.
Shaam Nu Daaru Naal Phal Dila Kari Katt KeTonight, my heart, we’ll celebrate with drinks and snacks.
Ni Rakhi Gutte Utte ‘Sabba’ Likhva KeYou even have ‘Sabba’ written on your wrist,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiAs you turn back from the bachelors’ gate.
Kihdi Lagdi Jhanjar Chhanka KeWho are you, with the jingle of your anklets,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiAs you turn back from the bachelors’ gate?
Langh Gayi Jhanjar Chhanka KeYou walked past with the jingle of your anklets,
Ni Chhadeyan De Gate MoordiTurning back from the bachelors’ gate.
