Splendor Lyrics English Translation by Swara Verma | Vicky Tarori
Tarori sets a touching scene with physical details like a mud house and a simple cot. The poet uses the contrast between a luxury car and a humble ‘Splendor’ bike to show their different lives. A key line translates to, ‘My mother wards off the evil eye from me, and I’ll ward it off from you,’ promising protection.
Tu Khandan Unche Ki Main Gaam Ka Desi ChhoraYou’re from a high-class family, and I’m a simple village boy.
Tu Lambi Gaadi Aali Mhara Splendor Pe ToraYou have a luxury car, while my pride rides on a ‘Splendor’ bike.
Meri Aas Chhod De Na TuYou should give up your hopes for me,
Mhari Nibhegi Nahi Zyadabecause we won’t get along for very long.
Main Rang Saawle Aala Tera Rang Dudh Te GoraI have a dark complexion, and your skin is as fair as milk.
Tu Lambi Gaadi Aali Mhara Splendor Pe ToraYou have a luxury car, while my pride rides on a ‘Splendor’ bike.
Main Khandan Unche Ki Dil Tere Dil Pe HaarunI’m from a high-class family, but I’ve lost my heart to yours.
Maa Meri Nazar Utaare Main Teri Nazar UtaarunMy mother wards off the evil eye from me, and I’ll ward it off from you.
Teri Aas Chhod Dyun KaiseHow could I ever give up my hopes for you?
Jazbaatan Ne Kyun Kar MaarunWhy should I kill these deep emotions?
Tu Gaam Ka Desi Chhora Main Jaan Tere Pe VaarunYou’re a simple village boy, and I’ll sacrifice my life for you.
Maa Meri Nazar Utaare Main Teri Nazar UtaarunMy mother wards off the evil eye from me, and I’ll ward it off from you.
Chhota Sa Mera Gaam GoriMy village is very small, beautiful girl,
Kaccha Ghar Se Kadiyan Aalaand I have a mud house with wooden beams.
Makhmal Ke Bistar Konya SeWe don’t have velvet beds here,
Manje Upar Dariyan Aalajust simple rugs spread over woven cots.
Tera Baapu Businessman BadaYour father is a big businessman,
Mera Baapu Zamindar Simplewhile my father is just a simple farmer.
Tu Dhoop Mein Kaali Pad JaagiYou’ll get tanned in this harsh sunlight,
Tere Face Pe Ho Jaange Pimpleand you’ll get pimples on your face.
Tu Laage Ganga Jal BargiYou seem as pure as the holy Ganges water,
Main Laagun Paani Mein Chhorawhile I’m just an ordinary boy in the water.
Main Rang Saawle Aala Tera Rang Dudh Te GoraI have a dark complexion, and your skin is as fair as milk.
Tu Lambi Gaadi Aali Mhara Splendor Pe ToraYou have a luxury car, while my pride rides on a ‘Splendor’ bike.
Main Gaam Mein Zindagi Kaat LungiI’ll spend my entire life in the village,
Aur Dariyan Upar So Lungiand I’ll gladly sleep on those simple rugs.
Manne Lod Na Naukar Chaakar KiI don’t need any servants around me,
Choolhe Pe Roti Po LungiI’ll cook our bread on the clay stove myself.
Acche Maade Time Mein Gail RahungiI’ll stay by your side through good and bad times,
Na Karu Demand Main Cheejan Kiand I won’t make any demands for material things.
Ho Gaam Tarori Aale MeinOh, boy from the village of Tarori,
Gathari Baandh Loon Apni Reejhan KiI’ve packed up all my desires just for you.
Tu Laage Se Manne Ram JaisaYou seem like Lord Rama to me.
Tere Bin Kyun Kar Main SaarunHow could I ever survive without you?
Tu Gaam Ka Desi Chhora Main Jaan Tere Pe VaarunYou’re a simple village boy, and I’ll sacrifice my life for you.
Maa Meri Nazar Utaare Main Teri Nazar UtaarunMy mother wards off the evil eye from me, and I’ll ward it off from you.
Wa Car Aali Hai Phir Bhi Mere Splendor Pe Mare HaiShe owns a car, yet she’s crazy about my ‘Splendor’ bike.
Unche Gharane Ki Hai Sarkar Aali Hai Phir Bhi Meri Ghoor Te Dare HaiShe’s from a powerful, high-class family, but she’s still scared of my angry stare.
Chal Coffee PivaangeLet’s go drink some coffee.
Manne Chaa Pasand HaiI prefer tea.
Gaaman Mein Light Koni AandiThere’s no electricity in the villages.
Taaryan Ki Chhaan Pasand HaiI prefer the shade of the stars.
Bistre Makhmal Ke Ni MildeYou won’t find velvet beds there.
Sarhane Ki Jagah Teri Baanh Pasand HaiI prefer your arm instead of a pillow.
Chal Chandigarh Ghuma LyaunCome, I’ll take you around Chandigarh.
Chandigarh Mein Toh Bohot Reh Li Manne Tera Gaam Pasand HaiI’ve lived in Chandigarh enough, I just love your village.
Tu Gaam Ka Desi Chhora Main Jaan Tere Pe VaarunYou’re a simple village boy, and I’ll sacrifice my life for you.
Maa Meri Nazar Utaare Main Teri Nazar UtaarunMy mother wards off the evil eye from me, and I’ll ward it off from you.
