Komagata Maru Lyrics English Translation – Cheema Y

Jhanda Komagata Maru Utton Laa Ke Vikhaun
I’ll raise my flag atop the Komagata Maru ship for the world to see,

Ikk Vaari Modh Ditta Hun Modh Ke Vikhaun
They turned us back once, but now I’ll show them that we can turn the tide.

Paili Goreyan Ko Laike Ditti Goreyan Nu Theke
I bought land from the white folks and leased it back to them,

Yuba City Ton Mantece Yaari Mittran Di Vekhe
From Yuba City to Manteca, everyone has witnessed the brotherhood of my friends.

Ni Tu Chitta Suit Paayi Jaddon Aayegi Ni Aithe
When you arrive here wearing your white suit,

Ni Tu Daag Chhad Main Taan Pain Davan Vi Na Chitte
Forget stains, I won’t even let a speck of dust touch it.

Vadh Dealer’an Ton Teriyan D#ggy Akhiyan
Your eyes are more intoxicating than a dealer’s stock,

Rehnde Tu Mere Utte Kyun Rakhiyan
Why do you keep them fixed on me all the time?

Ni Tu Bholi Aa Rakaan Te Main Sofi Vi Ni Maan
You’re an innocent girl, and I’ve never claimed to be a saint,

Pher Kavengi Tu Meriyan Rovaiyan Akhiyan
Otherwise, you’ll end up saying that I filled your eyes with tears.

Gallan Kari Jaana Aa Main Phone Laya Rabb Nu
I talk as if I have a direct line to God,

Aivein Taan Ni Chakkran ‘Ch Paaya Jagg Nu
I haven’t kept the whole world confused for no reason.

Chhe G#liyan Wale Aa Veere Chale Gaye Zamane
Brother, the days of six-shooter revolvers are long gone,

M#g Sohniye Sattaayi Wala Laya Lakk Nu
Because now I carry a twenty-seven-round magazine at my waist, beautiful.

Bande Hor Jehde Luck Te Depend Honge
Other men may depend on luck,

Chukke Risky Step Big End Honge
But the risks I take will lead to a grand ending.

Bhed Dayin Na Kisse Nu Kujh Kahi Na Kisse Nu
Don’t reveal our secrets to anyone, don’t tell anyone a thing,

Aggon Teriyan Friend’an De Friend Honge
Because your friends will pass it on to their friends,

Chugli De Jinna ‘Ch Trend Honge
Those who treat gossip like the latest trend.

Hellcat Aa Challenger Jo Farhi Ni Gayi
Whether it’s a Hellcat or a Challenger, they’ve never managed to catch us,

Je Main Lambo Vich Beh Gaya Taan Ki Houga
So imagine what will happen when I sit behind the wheel of a Lambo.

Gutt Ghadiyan Nu Vekh Ke Hi Darr Gaye Ne Oh
They got scared just by looking at my wristwatch,

Chatthe Bangle Vikha Ditte Ki Houga
So what will happen if I show them all six of my mansions?

Dass Tere Layi Main Mull Kinne Taare Le Lavaan
Tell me, how many stars should I buy for you?

Mera Vass Challe Ni Main Saare Le Lavaan
If it were up to me, I’d bring down the entire sky.

Tonight, after a few drinks, I’ll call you,

Taapu De Kande Te Laike Naal Jaunga
And take you with me to the shore of a private island.

Hun Saadeyan Gharaan Nu Jaandiyan Ne Ferry’an
Now, ferries come directly to our private docks,

Maahdi Chaldi Ni Boat Bahut Challan Gheriyan
We don’t sail tiny boats; we make big waves out in the sea.

I’ll raise my flag atop the Komagata Maru ship for the world to see,

Ikk Vaari Modh Ditta Hun Modh Ke Vikhaun

Jaddon Baajan Wale Ne Aa Saadi Pith Thapni
When the Lord of Falcons (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) blesses me with a pat on the back,

Gore Kaaleyan Naal Lagi Race Apni
Then my race will be against the whole world, both white and black.
