Better With Me Lyrics English Translation – Arjan Dhillon

Adhi Galvakkadi Payi Si
You embraced me with only half your heart.

Ikk Photo Dekhi Kattheyan Di
I saw a photograph of the two of you together.

Tu Badi Shukeeni Layi Si
You had dressed up with great enthusiasm.

Jehri Photo Dekhi Kattheyan Di
In that photograph where I saw the two of you together.

Haye Aivein Taan Oh Vi Sajjda Si
Alas, he did look good in his own way.

Aivein Taan Tu Vi Sajjdi Si
And you looked beautiful too.

Par Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
But you don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
You don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Haye Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
Alas, you don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Rang Joban Husn Bathera Ae
You have no shortage of beauty, youth, and charm.

Chehra Pehlan Vangu Daggda Ni
But your face no longer shines the way it once did.

Haye Rang Suitan Da Tere Te
Alas, the colors of your outfits,

Hun Pehlan Vangu Sajjda Nahi
No longer suit you the way they once did.

Koi Bahuta Sohna Hunda Nahi
No one is exceptionally beautiful on their own.

Koi Thoda Sohna Hunda Ae
And some are only somewhat attractive.

Koi Kalla-Kalla Sohna Nahi
But no one is truly beautiful alone.

Ethe Jora Sohna Hunda Ae
It is the pair that looks beautiful.

Appan Dohein Baahla Sajjde Aa Eh Kehni Sab Di Si
Everyone used to say that we looked wonderful together.

Par Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
But you don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
You don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Haye Eh Gall Ni Mehange Saste Di
Alas, this is not about what is expensive or cheap.

Na Masla Haar Shingaran Da
Nor is it about jewelry or adornment.

Chehre Te Laali Charh Jaave
A natural glow appears on the face,

Jadon Charhda Badal Pyaran Da
When the clouds of love gather overhead.

Haye Tang Dil Kamm Dil Lagdi Ae
Alas, you seem a little hesitant and reserved.

Ohde Naal Khuldi Jaani Ae
Even though you’re trying to become comfortable with him.

Ohde Vich Rachdi-Rachdi Tu
And as you keep adapting to his world,

Khud Nu Bhuldi Jaani Ae
You keep forgetting yourself.

Hun Oh Tethon Nikle Na
Now you can no longer carry yourself the same way.

Jehri Taur Tu Pehlan Kadd-Di Si
With the grace and confidence you once had.

Par Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
But you don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
You don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Haye Saanu Beshak Teri Kami Rahu
Alas, I will surely miss you forever.

Par Tainu Mera Ghaata Ae
But losing me is ultimately your loss.

Saaddi Kismat De Vich Mehfilan
My destiny may be filled with gatherings,

Te Karman Vich Ik-Laapa Ae
Yet loneliness is written in my fate.

Haye Hor Hi Gallan Hundiyan Ni
Alas, things would have been very different.

Je Kidhre Tutt Gayi Kehndi Na
If you had not said that everything between us was over.

Arjan-Arjan Likh Laindi
And had written “Arjan” on your palms.

Je Tu Taliyaan Te Mehandi Na
Instead of adorning them with bridal henna.

Haye Ohse Ton Hi Add Ho Gayi
Alas, you drifted away from the very person.

Jihde Layi Palle Add-Di Si
For whom you once prayed with outstretched hands.

Par Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
But you don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.

Tu Ohde Naal Oh Nahi Lagdi Jo Mere Naal Lagdi Si
You don’t look the way you did with me when you’re with him.
