Sath vich bussereya saan te akhare de vich pehalwan vai
An angry bull in a village community center, a wrestler in a ring
Hatti vich seth atte charreya suhaage jatt nahiyo maan vai (x2)
A business owner in his own shop, a farmer riding on his horse heading to his marriage can't be told what to do and is like no other
Tivin sarpanchni marasi di lambardari kole khondi e
A wife who becomes a village mayor is a bigger entertainer and steals the spotlight from a marasi (in traditional Punjab, villages had marasis who were the comedians of the village, they would join in any event or function without being invited and would tell jokes or sing funny songs to make a living for themselves)
Shohrat sharab sohni naar kise kise nu hajam aundi e
Fame, alcohol, a beautiful women can only be handled by very few
O police de taut yaaro leaderan de PA atte gunman vai
Police informers, PA's (personal assistants) of leaders and their gunmen
Randi da jawai kalakaran de clerk akade hi rehn vai
Pimps of prostitutes, clerks and managers of artists are always stiff and arrogant
Beth uth thaane vich hosh bande di vai puwaare paundi e
Hanging around in a police station blinds a person's senses and create problems
Shohrat sharab sohni naar kise kise nu hajam aundi e
Fame, alcohol, a beautiful women can only be handled by very few
Chhoti nooh di pugge baba bakhtor ve piaave paani tol ke
The youngest daughter-in-law wants her dominance in the house, 'Baba Bakhtor' a fake saint gives her suggestions and solutions to make it happen
Chuhe nu thiyagi bhaura haldi di gathi beh gaya depu khol ke
A mouse got hold of a small bag of turmeric and now has opened a depo store
Bahuteyan mulaajeyan di rann saara pind nauhan te nachaundi e
A girl with many boyfriends keeps a whole village dancing on her fingernails
Shohrat sharab sohni naar kise kise nu hajam aundi e
Fame, alcohol, a beautiful women can only be handled by very few
Peyo de vi peyo de nahiyo nankeya da ata pata subedar ke
No idea where his extended family resides and what kind of a lieutenant is he
Modheyan ton thukke viahli jadon di Gulabo rakhe muchhan chaar ke
He doesn't think of anyone else as worthy since the day he's married a fairy princess, keeps his mustache curled
Kukkadan nu kaudi te katooreyan nu kheer pujj ke sataundi e
Roosters find a limited amount of food, dogs find rice pudding as annoying for them
Shohrat sharab sohni naar kise kise nu hajam aundi e
Fame, alcohol, a beautiful women can only be handled by very few
Ho puthe sidhe winge tede geet char likh piche la leya jagg nu
He's got the whole world behind him after writing some weird songs
Anne de pairan de heth aa gaya battera tich jaane rabb nu
A blind man has landed a piece of gold under his foot and now doesn't think much of God
Raag reet sur taal jaane ne Ghumana Reshma kahaundi e
An artist who knows nothing about raags (melodic framework), traditions, keys and tempo calls herself Reshma (reference to a renowned Pakistani folk singer who gained massive popularity for her mesmerizing voice)
