Water Lyrics English Translation by Diljit Dosanjh
Raj Ranjodh mentions a jasmine turning into a thorn, describing a hidden hurt. He translates the line ‘Hey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water’ as ‘Come to me drenched in pure water shades.’ The author arranges a gentle music, letting each note slip like mist over a terrace.
Tainoo vekhiye taa akkh neend paindee aeWhenever I look at you, my eyes begin to drift into a dreamlike sleep.
Muhabbat aake sohaneee tere chaubare bahindee aeLove itself comes and sits on your beautiful terrace, my dear.
Ammee kahindee ae teree nee kaala tikka laaiaa karYour mother says you should wear a ‘kaala tikka’ (protection mark) to ward off bad luck.
Sacchee tere te meree buree nazar rahindee aeTruly, everyone’s evil eye is fixed on you and me.
Lokaa ne kee kahinaa kee lainaa saaree dunieeaa bhulaa ke aaWhat do we care what people say? Come to me, forgetting the whole world.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Je aapaa mil jaaee-e bhool jaaee-e ik-dooje daa naaIf we meet, let’s lose ourselves so much that we forget each other’s names.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Rang chadhaa ke aaCome, drenched in these colors.
Bull tere nee jive gulaabee phullaa te dhund rahindee aaYour lips are like pink flowers covered in a gentle morning mist.
Teree matthee-matthee loh nee saddee rooh te paindee aaThe soft, warm glow of your presence falls upon my soul.
Saddee rooh te paindee aaIt falls upon my soul.
Nee mai luttia gayaa nee tainoo piaar karkeI’ve been completely captivated by my love for you.
Dove bahi gae bahi gae nee akkhaa chaar karkeWe both sat there, lost in each other, as our eyes finally met.
Nee edaa koee dil lai jaanda nee mai sunia kade vee naaI’ve never heard of anyone stealing a heart quite like this.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Je aapaa mil jaaee-e bhool jaaee-e ik-dooje daa naaIf we meet, let’s lose ourselves so much that we forget each other’s names.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Rang chadhaa ke aa nee adiye rang chadhaa ke aaCome drenched in these colors, hey girl, come drenched in these colors.
Aa ke ab dono bekaraar ho jaaeCome now, let’s both become restless with desire.
Roke naa ruke ishaq kaa aa bashaar ho jaaeLet there be an unstoppable downpour of love between us.
Naa tum tum raho naa ham ham raheLet’s reach a point where you aren’t you and I’m not me.
Is kadar aa is jahaan ke paar ho jaaeIn this way, let’s transcend this world together.
Khad jaandee aa tere utte akkh nahee hilledee chehre toMy eyes get stuck on you; they won’t move from your face.
Hor kise noo vekhaa kiddaa taaim nahee milada tere toHow could I look at anyone else? I can’t find a moment away from you.
Oh hatth rakkhee rakkhee nee mere seene utteOh, keep your hand resting right here on my chest.
Meree bukkal cha aa nee meraa dard mukkeCome into my embrace so that all my pain finally ends.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Aapaa mil jaaee-eWhen we finally meet,
Nee bhool jaaee-eand we forget,
Haae ik-dooje daa naaoh, each other’s names.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Je aapaa mil jaaee-e bhool jaaee-e ik-dooje daa naaIf we meet, let’s lose ourselves so much that we forget each other’s names.
Nee adiye paanee daa paanee daa rang chadhaa ke aaHey girl, come to me soaked in the pure colors of water.
Rang chadhaa ke aa nee adiye rang chadhaa ke aaCome drenched in these colors, hey girl, come drenched in these colors.
