True Essence
Jai Dhir | Yoki • From “Before The After”
What is the meaning of True Essence Lyrics from Before The After?
JAI DHIR opens with a line that draws a sanctuary of love. He describes a stranger standing outside, a jasmine turning into a thorn to mark the pain. Yoki writes a chorus that lists a crowded tavern, a carefree intoxicated soul. Translation: ‘You are love’s sanctuary, I am a stranger outside.’
Tu ishqe da ashiyana jiveYou’re like a sanctuary of love,
Main khadeya bahar begana koiand I’m a stranger standing outside.
Tu bhareya hoya maikhana jiveYou’re like a crowded tavern,
Main masdhosh mastana koiand I’m a carefree, intoxicated soul.
Aashiyaana tu main begana koiYou’re the sanctuary, I’m just a stranger.
Maikhana tu main deewaana koiYou’re the tavern, I’m a man obsessed.
Tu bhareya hoya maikhana jiveYou’re like a crowded tavern,
Main masdhosh mastana koiand I’m a carefree, intoxicated soul.
Hosh vich rehnde mai ruljanaIf I stay conscious, I’ll fall apart.
Bhareya chiran da ajj dul janaEverything I’ve held in for so long will spill out today.
Hogai bhul chuk je tu maaf kariIf I make a mistake, please forgive me.
Kehna jo saver hunde bhull janaJust forget what I say once morning comes.
Mai rull jana ajj dull janaI’ll fall apart, everything will spill out today.
Maaf kari main vi bhull janaForgive me, I’ll forget it all too.
Rakhe ne raaz bade dil vich jedeThe many secrets I’ve kept in my heart,
Chiran ton ne kaid jinda khul janawhich have been locked away for ages, will finally break free.
Tu pak rooh da thikana jiveYou’re like a home for a pure soul,
Mai dhool jameya taikhana koiand I’m like a dust-covered basement.
Tu ishqe da ashiyana jiveYou’re like a sanctuary of love,
Main khadeya bahar begana koiand I’m a stranger standing outside.
Thir gaiyan baarisha nami de naal bhijeyaThe rains have settled, and I’m soaked in the moisture,
Toofan seena cheer gya tavi reha tikkeyathe storm tore through my chest, yet I stood my ground.
Kittaya waqat zindgi de vech zaya badaI’ve wasted so much of my life’s time.
Keemat mai tera intjaar kar sikkheyaI learned the value of time by waiting for you.
Nami de naal bhijeya mainI’m soaked in the moisture.
Taavi reha tikkeya mainYet I stood my ground.
Waqat di keemat vi tere kar sikkheya mainI even learned the value of time because of you.
Takrde lok badeI’ve met so many people,
Bolli launde pyaar di jowho put a price on love.
Taan vi kalakar ae bazaran ch ni vikkeyaEven then, this artist hasn’t sold himself in the markets.
Tu mashoor tarana jiveYou’re like a famous melody,
Main sunda hoya deewana koiand I’m like a man obsessed, listening to you.
Tu bhareya hoya maikhana jiveYou’re like a crowded tavern,
Main masdhosh mastana koiand I’m a carefree, intoxicated soul.
Ashiyana tu main begana koiYou’re the sanctuary, I’m just a stranger.
Maikhana tu main dewana koiYou’re the tavern, I’m a man obsessed.
Tu bhareya hoya maikhana jiveYou’re like a crowded tavern,
Main masdhosh mastana koiand I’m a carefree, intoxicated soul.
