Zindagi Meaning & Lyrics (Tiger)
Gurnoor pens a tribute to an irreplaceable lover who changed everything. The songwriter credits this person with her very survival, asking ‘how would I have survived, how would I have survived?’ (Eh langhdi kiven eh langhdi kiven). She talks about a pure heart being rarer than a beautiful face, even taking fate into her own hands to guarantee their union.
Haye ve tere bina hor kise nuOh, apart from you, to anyone else,
Haan akhaan seen kardi aan nahimy eyes refuse to even look.
Main ohna saariyan nu paase kardaI push aside all those girls,
Jo saanu kattheyan nu jardi aan naiwho cannot stand to see us together.
Je saheliyan ne naam tera leya na hundaIf my friends hadn’t teased me with your name,
Main sangdi kiven main sangdi kivenhow would I have blushed, how would I have blushed?
Je tu meri zindagi ch aaya na hundaIf you hadn’t walked into my life,
Eh langhdi kiven eh langhdi kivenhow would I have survived, how would I have survived?
Tainu chhadna te gall door di aeLeaving you is completely out of the question,
Sochaan vi je jaavan jagg tonI would only think of it if I were leaving this world.
Lekhan vich vi je na hoya channaEven if you weren’t written in my destiny, my love,
Dhakke na vi likha laan rabb tonI’d forcefully make God write you into my fate.
Baaki saara kujh taan clear ae channaEverything else is perfectly clear, my love,
Bas ik gall puchhni ae tainuI just need to ask you one thing.
Kitthe si tu ajj tak dass taan sahiTell me, where have you been all this time?
Ve tu pehlan kyun ni mileya mainuWhy didn’t you find me sooner?
Kalli Gurnoor dukh sukh dass deTell me, if Gurnoor was left all alone with her joys and sorrows,
Main vand’di kiven main vand’di kivenhow would I have shared them, how would I have shared them?
Je tu meri zindagi ch aaya na hundaIf you hadn’t walked into my life,
Eh langhdi kiven eh langhdi kivenhow would I have survived, how would I have survived?
Chehre hone sohne lakkhanThere might be millions of beautiful faces out there,
Par kitthe oh saaf dil de aabut how many of them possess a pure heart?
Tere jahe is duniya ch ajj kall kitthe milde aaPeople like you are so hard to find in this world today.
Tereyaan lekhaan de dukh aap lai layeI have taken the sorrows of your destiny upon myself,
Main tainu sukh likhwa ke aayi aanand I’ve had happiness written into yours instead.
Oh mera hi si mera hi ae mera hi raheHe was mine, he is mine, and he will always remain mine.
Main ajj guru ghare jaake aayi aanI just came back from praying at the Gurdwara today.
Ve tainu palle add-add oss rabb tonBy spreading my hands in prayer before God,
Na mangdi kiven na mangdi kivenhow could I not beg for you, how could I not beg for you?
Je tu meri zindagi ch aaya na hundaIf you hadn’t walked into my life,
Eh langhdi kiven eh langhdi kivenhow would I have survived, how would I have survived?
What does ‘Zindagi’ mean? The lyrics celebrate a soulmate who makes life worth living. Tiger brings this heartfelt message to life in a Punjabi pop tune.
