Jawai Lyrics – Nomi Jutt

Jawai Lyrics in Translation

badde tere jiha kehnde ne kisaan maarna
People say you’re the type to pick a fight,
banni jaanda jo shareekaan lai toofan maarna
You’re known to bring partners and stir up a storm.
kise khabbi khan aakhe munda valia ni jaanda
No one has ever said that boy goes anywhere empty-handed,
ainu jhoothi aja karke zubaan maarna
They lie and then get their tongues silenced.
jinna jor lagda ae hilake dekh lai
Try as hard as you can to move me, just try,
band rabb di main marji na saah karna
By God’s lock, don’t even dare to take a breath.

o jihne pesh karni ae mere vall karo
Whoever wants to face me, step up to my side,
baapu kehnda hai main dooja ni viah karna
My father says I won’t marry another.
rishte ch tera main dooja lagna aunda fer vi ni tainu mera chaah karna
Even if in relations I become another’s, still I won’t stop wanting you.

bande zindagi ch obaar jina kadar na kiti je
The respect I never gave to people in life,
main shakk lau ni sohna tusan bhein kanoon ditti
Don’t doubt, love, I’ve given you that law instead.
kuttian de vichon kade mukke na paleeti
Amongst bitches, I never backed down from a punch,
jihra mara bole mainu ohdi bhein di vateere
Whoever speaks against me, I’ll shatter their jaw.
poore shehar vich bhein gaye patake makhna
All over the city, firecrackers went off announcing,
jado bhein teri na mehnat karna
That your struggle is in vain.

jihne pesh karni ae mere vall karo
Whoever wants to face me, step up to my side,
baapu kehnda ae main dooja ni viah karna
My father says I won’t marry another.
rishte ch tuhada main jawai lagna
Even if in relations I become your son-in-law,
aunda fer vi ni tuhanu mera chaah karna
Still I won’t stop wanting you.

bande vigre nu mint ch sadaar chhadna
To fix a broken man and leave him dignified in a minute,
vaishi bande nu main vichon rakh paar chhadna
To put a useless man right in the middle and leave him across.
mere kolon ravi jara bach dallya
Ravi, you got saved from me just a little bit,
dalle bande nu main maar ke te saar chhadna
I’ll beat the crap out of a guy and leave him ruined.
jadon thokna main saream thok chhadna
When I hit, I hit with my whole being and finish it,
vaang jhuduan ni band tera raah karna
I won’t wander around blocking your path.

jihne pesh karni ae mere vall karo
Whoever wants to face me, step up to my side,
baapu kehnda ae main dooja ni viah karna
My father says I won’t marry another.
rishte ch tuhada main jawai lagna
Even if in relations I become your son-in-law,
aunda fer vi ni tuhanu mera chaah karna
Still I won’t stop wanting you.

o bande vigre nu karna main theek jannana
To fix a broken man, I know just how,
banni dallyan na baitha ae tu chief jannana
Sitting with punks, you think you’re the chief? You know nothing.
meri kalam chon nikle hoye bol sun ke
Hearing the words that come from my pen,
hondi dallyan nu badi takleef jannana
Causes the punks a lot of pain, you know.
ae chacha aa lattan farri
Hey Uncle, here come the kicks,
bhein ne naram te jeb ne garam
The jaw is soft but the pockets are hot,
te dalle nu aundi nahi zara vi sharm
And the punk feels not even a bit of shame.
dikhaunda net te pura hi baram
He shows off on the net, a complete show-off,
tu kujh te kar lai dallya sharm
Do something to make the punk feel shame, at least.
jutti de thalle main rakhe ne dalle ni
I keep punks under my shoe’s sole,
tanhi tan einan da kam na challe ni
Only then their work doesn’t proceed.
pehlan tan paise main khud launda si
First, I used to collect the money myself,
hun jor de paise ne rakh ke galle
Now the money from extortion stays in my neck.
hath ch far ke danda te dalle
With a stick in hand and the punks,
de khoon nu karunga danda te kale
I’ll make their blood black and blue with the stick.
main boothe te marunga jhanda te band
I’ll hit them on the mouth, I’ll tie them to the flagpole,
main einan da karunga dhanda
I’ll run their business.

dimag ch chalda jatt de funda ki
The principle that runs in a Jatt’s mind is,
ihde main piche ch tunn ke ganda te
In this, after digging, it gets dirty and,
ihde main sir ch tor ke anda te dhon ch
In this, I’ll crack your head like an egg and in the flour,
kadhunga kanda-kanda
I’ll knead you piece by piece.
gali ch milia chachi naziran te
I met Chachi Naziran in the street,
kehndi tu tika karni denian liran ae
She says you’re good at picking fights with creditors.
kutte bachaunde ne aukhian khiran te
Dogs save themselves on tough streets,
paise de piche pe vechan jamiran
The rich sell out chasing behind money.
jihde te sir te ghar chalaunde ne
Those on whose head the household runs,
einan di uh vali chok mashiran
Their side of the neighborhood is a choke-point, you know.
te einan de hath fara de tu khiran te
And you put their hands in the streets,
haal hunde dekhi vaang fakiran
I’ve seen their condition, like beggars.
abbu naal mukabla nahi karna
Don’t compete with Abbu,
moose aale da shagird aan dabbada nahi
I’m a student of the one from Moosa, I don’t get scared,
haje career kaiyan da tabah karna
Now I have to ruin many careers.

jhoothan di vi hondi ha koi hadd dallya inji
Even lies have a limit, punk, like this,
agge kiven javenga tu vadh challia jis din
How will you move forward the day it increases?
mere agge charr gia tu hilaule dil de main
You froze in front of me, you swayer of hearts,
tere ne stud dallya ajj tak kise da vi hakk
Your stud-punk has never had any right over anyone,
nahio khada laia tainu jadon mera ni tu
Nor could he stand up to you when you weren’t mine,
lajarna jihne pesh karni ae mere vall karo
Whoever wants to face me, step up to my side.

meri apni bandook mera apna hi maunda mera
My own gun, my own bullet, my own,
jadon dil karda chala chhadna
When I feel like it, I fire it off.
betuka jatt naal vair pave jihra naam duniya
The one who picks a fight with a pointless Jatt,
tu uhda main muka chhadna
I’ll erase his name from the world.

tere pio kinne ne chal rahin
How many of your forefathers are walking,
jadon seega baapu dian godian ch tu jatt
When you, Jatt, were sitting in your father’s lap?
sikh chukkia si thah thah karna
You had learned well to stay firm.

jihre khabbi khan tere naal rahinde phirde
Those who have ever walked with you,
mainu vi aa jande bathere chire bande kagazan
Many torn papers come to me too.
chon far ke te bahar kadhda jivein jivein bande
Selecting and pulling them out, however many people,
nazran ch girde jungle da sheria main bhukha mar
Fall in sight, I’m a hungry lion of the jungle.
jana par tere vaangu kade vi nahi gha charna
It’s destined that one like you will never find shelter.

dil kalle nu tu kalla tainu mann jana main
You alone to my lonely heart, I will accept you,
je tu jitt gia gift ch gann danga main par
If you win, as a gift I’ll sing and dance, but,
ikk gall rakhi meri yaad puttra je tu haar gia
Remember one thing, son, if you lose,
chang tere kann da main jithhe dil karda
However much my heart desires your ears,
ee mil tan sahi panga bhein pichon sikhia ni na karna
Even if we meet, okay, don’t pick a fight later, I’ve been taught.

main tan shuru vi nahi hoia badde dakkan lagge
I haven’t even started, the big shots get scared,
saar mahiflan ch mere bare pagg lagge thoda
In all gatherings, they talk about me a lot.
jina nappia kalach yaar ne vaeri pind ja ke
However much my friend Kalach measured, going to the enemy village,
talve ne chattan lagge meri raza vich khoon
Soles got stung, in my will there’s blood,
jinna chir tor da pind chaukian da naam main utaan karna
However long it takes, I’ll make the name of the village Chowkian echo.
