Still Here

Still Here Lyrics English Translation by Dino James
James contrasts temporary trends with lasting identity through tattoo versus henna imagery. He references counting prayers with dumbbells and enduring panic attacks as personal battles. The verses document concrete struggles rather than abstract concepts.
All This Time I’ve Been Fighting So HardAll This Time I’ve Been Fighting So Hard
I’m Still Here I’m Still HereI’m Still Here I’m Still Here
In This Battle There Are Plenty Of ScarsIn This Battle There Are Plenty Of Scars
I’m Still Here I’m Still HereI’m Still Here I’m Still Here
Mausam Aate JaateSeasons come and go,
Aur Hum Khade Jaise Bargad HainAnd I’m still standing like a banyan tree.
Harkatein Hain AisiMy actions are such that,
Khuda Deta Humein Barkat HainGod showers me with his blessings.
Saath Hain Yeh Samundar Yeh AakashWith me are the ocean, the sky,
Aur Sara Parvat HainAnd all the mountains.
Sapne Bota Upar WalaThe one above plants the seeds of dreams,
Hum Lete Bas Karwat HainAnd I just have to turn over to seize them.
Peeron Ki Mazaron MeinAt the shrines of saints,
Hum Chaddar ChadhateI offer sacred cloths.
Aur Dekhe Hanuman JiAnd if I see Lord Hanuman,
To Hum Chakkar LagateI make my rounds in reverence.
Main Khaas Hu UnkaI’m special to him.
Hit Dete Aur Machhar BhagateHe gives me hits and swats away my troubles.
Aur Game Ka Tyre Piche Jaata NahiAnd the wheels of my game don’t roll backward,
Wo Patthar LagateBecause he places a stone behind them.
Jo Lalchate Hain Basic Cheezon Ko Yun Dekh DekhThis is for those who crave basic things, watching from afar.
Jo Chai Pe Jeete Dost Khaate Cakes Steaks Aur Protein ShakesWho survive on tea while their friends eat cakes, steaks, and protein shakes.
Jo Phone Ko Use Karte Hai Lagaake Cello TapesWho use phones held together with cello tape.
Aur Jinki Chillar Ki Aawaz Se Bajti Rehti Hain JebAnd whose pockets jingle with the sound of loose change.
Yeh Kamzor Dil Ke Gaane Nahi HainThese aren’t songs for the weak-hearted.
I’m Writing For The BraveI’m Writing For The Brave
Aur Chandi Ke Chammach Walo SeAnd to those with silver spoons,
Karte Nahi RelateI just don’t relate.
Ye Mehndi Aur Tattoo Ka Farq HainIt’s the difference between a henna and a tattoo.
Honge Nahi Hum FadeI’m not going to fade away.
Hum Ziddi Kaafi LomdiI’m a stubborn fox,
Paake Rehte Hain GrapesAnd I always get the grapes.
Faulaad Hai Mera SeenaMy chest is made of steel,
Kyunki Lohe Se Hai DostiBecause I’ve made friends with iron.
Ronnie Ka Lightweight YeThis is Ronnie’s ‘lightweight’ set,
Tujhse Hoga Nahi Ye BroskiYou can’t even lift it, broski.
Shoutout To The TrainersShoutout To The Trainers
Humne Gym Ko Dedi LifeI’ve dedicated my life to the gym.
Sacrifices Roz HainI make sacrifices every day.
Dumbbells Se Japte RosaryI count my prayers with dumbbells like a rosary.
Khatron Wala Title MeraMy title is ‘Danger’.
Bachkano Ka Game NahiThis isn’t a child’s game.
Tujhse Main Relate Nahi KartaI don’t relate to you.
Baatein Apni Same NahiWe don’t talk the same language.
Gym Mein Tu Dwayne NahiYou’re not Dwayne in the gym,
Aur Microphone Mein Wayne NahiAnd you’re not Wayne on the microphone.
Tujhse Main Nafrat Nahi KartaI don’t hate you,
Aur Tujhse Koi Prem NahiBut I don’t have any love for you either.
Hum Seasoned Log Hai ChhoteI’m a seasoned veteran, kiddo.
Aur Tere Balls Hai CoscoAnd you’re playing with softballs.
Saaf Hai Jaise NezukoI’m clean, just like ‘Nezuko’.
Bas Chakha Nahi Laal Sauce KoI just haven’t tasted the ‘red sauce’ yet.
Hashira On The Way HainThe ‘Hashira’ are on the way.
Jaake Bol Dena Tu Boss KoGo and tell your boss.
Maine Kaanton Wala Crown Hai PehnaI’ve worn a crown of thorns,
Dhoya Bhaari Cross KoAnd I’ve carried a heavy cross.
Fanse To Yaaron Ka Mujhe Raay Lagta HaiWhen I’m stuck, I turn to my friends for advice.
Coffee Nahi Uthe To Seedha Chai Lagta HaiIf coffee doesn’t wake me up, I go straight for tea.
Maine Dost Banaye Koi Banaye Nahi Hain FansI’ve made friends, I haven’t made any fans.
Dino Sir Se Zyada Achha Dino Bhai Lagta HaiBeing called ‘Dino Bhai’ feels better than ‘Dino Sir’.
I’m Still Here I’m Still HereI’m Still Here I’m Still Here
I’m Still Here I’m Still HereI’m Still Here I’m Still Here
Flow Hai Mera ForeplayMy flow is the foreplay,
Aur Beat Hai Meri MashookaAnd the beat is my lover.
Talent Valent Kuch NahiIt’s not about talent or anything,
Ye Bas Dum Hai Maa Ke Aansu KaIt’s the power of my mother’s tears.
Gangster Wali Baat Nahi KarteI don’t talk like a gangster,
Chup Hain Jaise YakuzaI’m silent, like the ‘Yakuza’.
Arigato Gozaimasu‘Arigato Gozaimasu’,
Tune Kya Nahi Diya Ya KhudaWhat haven’t you given me, oh God?
Silent Baitha D Jaise D Baitha Hai Fridge MeinD is sitting silent, like the ‘D’ emblem on a fridge.
Talented Hai D Kabhi Fasa Nahi Matrix MeinD is talented, I never got stuck in the matrix.
Important Khud Ko Maante NahiI don’t consider myself important,
Hum Jhukne Se Nahi DarteAnd I’m not afraid to bow down.
Hum Sachin Jaise Chal DeteI just walk away like Sachin,
Bhale Sound Na Aaye Nick MeinEven if there’s no sound from a ‘nick’ on the bat.
Success Ke Safar Mein Raja Suffer Bahut HaiOn the journey of success, my friend, there’s a lot of suffering.
Hum Safal Kyunki Andar Chhote Sabar Bahut HaiI’m successful because I have a lot of patience inside me, kiddo.
Aur Galtiyon Se Darte Nahi Paas Rubber Bahut HaiAnd I’m not afraid of mistakes, I’ve got plenty of erasers.
Tu Pehla Nahi Jo Karra Yahan Par Kabar Bahut HaiYou’re not the first one; there are plenty of graves here for those who tried.
Velankanni Durga Meri Mother Bahut HaiI have Mother Velankanni and Mother Durga, I’ve got more than one.
You Sure You Wanna Fight Bro Unka Dakhal Bahut HaiYou sure you wanna fight, bro? They interfere a lot.
Pair Lamba Karke Sote Ghar Pe Chaddar Bahut HaiI sleep with my legs stretched out, I’ve got plenty of sheets at home.
Aur Main CID Mein Tha Sabki Yahan Khabar Bahut HaiAnd I was in the ‘CID’, I know everyone’s secrets here.
Anxiety Se Ab Darta NahiI’m not afraid of anxiety anymore,
Anxiety Meri PaaltuAnxiety is my pet.
Panic Attack Jhele HaiI’ve endured panic attacks,
Seene Pe Jaise KartoosLike bullets to my chest.
ADHD Haavi Sir PeADHD takes over my mind,
Kaam Nahi Karta Jhaad PhoonkAnd no superstitious rituals can fix it.
Maa Padhti Hai NovenaMy mother recites a ‘novena’ for me.
Kuch Aur Nahi Isse PowerfulThere’s nothing more powerful than that.
Jo Bada Flex Karta HaiThe one who flexes the most,
Wo Aadmi Chhota Hota HaiIs usually the smallest man.
Jo Sikka Khud Ko Proof KareThe coin that has to prove its own worth,
Wo Khota Hota HaiIs usually a counterfeit.
Sabko Baari Se Milta HaiEveryone gets their turn,
Sabka Kota Hota HaiEveryone has their own quota.
Aur Jiski Khud Ki Aawaz Na HoAnd the one who doesn’t have his own voice,
Kisi Ka Tota Hota HaiIs just someone else’s parrot.
Main Doobunga TairungaI’ll sink or I’ll swim,
Par Hamesha BahungaBut I’ll always keep flowing.
Let They Will Be DamnI’ll always say, ‘to hell with them’.
Ye Hamesha KahungaI will always say this.
Main Ho Jaunga RaakhI’ll turn to ash,
Par Phir Bhi Goonjegi AawazBut my voice will still echo.
Main Kal Tha Main Aaj HoonI was here yesterday, I am here today,
Aur Main Hamesha RahungaAnd I will be here forever.
