Album - Jatt Di Mercedes

GT Road Heer di baanh wargi e sapni vaang val khaave

GT Road is like the arms of Heer, it swears around like a snake would

Hatt picche (x4) pher milange Kende jatt di mercedes jaave

Move out of the way (x4), the Jatt's Mercedes is on the move

Asi pardesi nitt de dinn raat vi kadde na saunde

We're lime foreigners, we don't stay at one place or sleep during the day or night

Delhi ton pathankot vai, UP MP Bombay tak paunde

From Delhi to Pathankot, we also drive from Uttar Pardesh (UP), Madhya Pardesh (MP), and Bombay

Dinne vekhan photo yaar di, Raatin teri yaad seene naal laave

During the day I look at the photo of my beloved one, and at night I have memories laying on my chest

Hatt picche (x4) pher milange Kende jatt di mercedes jaave

Move out of the way (x4), the Jatt's Mercedes is on the move

Jadon koi car jeep vai, lalkaar ke aggon di langh jaave

When a car or a jeep overtakes [my truck] and moves forward

Pucch na speedan balliye, Sui nabbeyan te bhangre paave

Don't ask my speed at that time, the needle of the speedometer dances at 90

Hawa nu vi kare tichraan jadon gusse ch Mercedes aave

It jokes around with the wind, when the Mercedes is on the road mad

Hatt picche (x4) pher milange Kende jatt di mercedes jaave

Move out of the way (x4), the Jatt's Mercedes is on the move

Fauji wale dhabe baith ke, daru peeni te paronthey khaane

Sitting at the restaurant of army soldiers, I'll have drinks and eat paronthey (popular Punjabi stuffed bread)

Tape laa ke Manak di, naale sunn'ne gaddi de vich gaane

Playing the cassette of Kuldeep Manak, we listen to his songs in the car

Safaran nu jaave cheer di, ethon palan ch Bathinde pujh jaave

It goes piercing through the journey, from here it will reach Bathinda in moments

Hatt picche (x4) pher milange Kende jatt di mercedes jaave

Move out of the way (x4), the Jatt's Mercedes is on the move

Loki badnaam karde, maade hunde nahi truckan wale saare

People just give us a bad name, not all truck drivers are bad

Dilan di pucch saar Mahindra, e tan hunde majboor vichaare

Mahindra, ask what's in their heart, they're helpless people

Vich pardesan de, sacha satgur paar lagaave

In foreign lands, only the almighty and great God gets us through safe

Hatt picche (x4) pher milange Kende jatt di mercedes jaave

Move out of the way (x4), the Jatt's Mercedes is on the move
