Your Name Hurts Lyrics English Translation by Nirvair Pannu
The poet uses direct language to confront a painful truth. A key line states, ‘I’d heard that people don’t return after they die, but he didn’t return even though he’s still alive.’ Pannu compares broken promises to a failing government that runs away.
Sunneya si mar ke mudde nahiI’d heard that people don’t return after they die,
Oh jeyonda hi nahi mudeyabut he didn’t return even though he’s still alive.
Main taan ohde naal siI was standing right beside him,
Oh kamla mere naal nahi tureyabut that ‘foolish man’ didn’t walk along with me.
Sunneya si mar ke mudde nahiI’d heard that people don’t return after they die,
Oh jeyonda hi nahi mudeyabut he didn’t return even though he’s still alive.
Kattheyan diyan kasmaan kattheyan ne katthiyan baataan paiyaanWe made promises together and shared so many stories.
Ohne jo dassiyan si gallan ohnu kyun yaad na aaiyaanWhy doesn’t he remember the things he once told me?
Kehdi gall ton russ gaya si kahda si gussa gilaWhat made him so upset, and why was there so much resentment?
Jaande nu jaa lain de ki laina ae chhad dilaLet the one who’s leaving go; what’s the use? Just let it be, my heart.
Dass jaandi ji kithe lagg gayaAt least tell me where your heart has found a home now,
Kithe sadda pyaar si thudeyaand where exactly our love fell short?
Sunneya si mar ke mudde nahiI’d heard that people don’t return after they die,
Oh jeyonda hi nahi mudeyabut he didn’t return even though he’s still alive.
Ki kariye raataan nu jaagan di aadat paa gaya aeWhat should I do? He’s made it my habit to stay awake through the nights.
Udeekan ne iss gall diyan koi kehde tu aa gaya aeI’m just waiting for someone to tell me that you’ve finally come back.
Kaahdi main aas ji rakhan tu gall koi kiti nahiWhat hope should I hold onto when you haven’t said a single word?
Tainu jo khed ji laggdi tere naal beeti nahiThis feels like a game to you because you haven’t lived through this pain.
Oye tuttan da dard tu ki jaaneHey, what do you know about the agony of breaking apart?
Tu kise naal nahi judeyaYou’ve never truly connected with anyone.
Sunneya si mar ke mudde nahiI’d heard that people don’t return after they die,
Oh jeyonda hi nahi mudeyabut he didn’t return even though he’s still alive.
Assi sabran vich pal ke sabran karniyan sikh laiyaanI’ve grown up in patience and learned how to endure it all.
Likhan da shaunk tu laa gaya taan gallan kujh likh laiyaanYou gave me a passion for writing, so I’ve written down a few thoughts.
Maadi sarkar de vangu tu vaade ton bhajjeya aeinJust like a failing government, you’ve run away from your promises.
Unjh taan Nirvair tu changa nahi par changa lagge aeHonestly, Nirvair, you aren’t a good person, yet you still feel right to me.
Dilbar tu dilgariyan kar gayaOh beloved, you’ve toyed with my heart and feelings,
Kyun tera dil nahi khureyaso why hasn’t your own heart melted yet?
Sunneya si mar ke mudde nahiI’d heard that people don’t return after they die,
Oh jeyonda hi nahi mudeyabut he didn’t return even though he’s still alive.
