Counting Gems Lyrics English Translation – Arjan Dhillon

Ho Lakk Hawa Naal Haula Lehnga Bhaara Sohniye
Your waist is as light as the breeze, but your lehenga is so heavy, beautiful.

Bhaara Sohniye Bhaara Sohniye
It is so heavy, beautiful, so heavy, beautiful.

Ni Keda Lutt Phirda Sunyara Sohniye
Which goldsmith did you rob, beautiful?

Sunyara Sohniye Sunyara Sohniye
Which goldsmith, beautiful, which goldsmith?

Haye Ki Ki Billo Nava Ae Banaya
Oh, baby, what new jewellery have you had made?

Ni Appe Mainu Dass De Tu Ki Ki Ae Paaya
Tell me yourself what all you are wearing,

Ho Kinne Tole Haan Diye Paayi Phirdi Aein
You are roaming around wearing so many tolas of gold,

Sochan Vich Chinde Ni
Leaving me lost in my thoughts, my love.

Haye Meri Saari Dihari Langh Jugi Tere Gehne Ginde Di
My entire day will pass just counting your jewellery,

Haye Tere Gehne Ginde Di
Just counting your jewellery.

Ho Dhaun Surahi Teri Sohni Lagge Dugni Ni Sohni Lagge Dugni
Your graceful swan-like neck makes you look twice as beautiful, twice as beautiful.

Haye Sing Taveet Ni Taveetan Thalle Jugni Ni Taveetan Thalle Jugni
With the amulet necklace and the Jugni pendant hanging beneath it.

Ho Chann Kolon Rishmaan Hai Lutt Ke Leyaya Ni
It seems as if you have stolen the moon’s shining rays,

Jhoomar Paasa Khabbe Paase Laya Ni
So you could wear that jhoomar ornament on the left side of your head.

Ho Saggi Phull Naal Billo Tikka
With that Saggi Phull and forehead tikka,

Ni Taareyan Nu Paayi Jaave Haan Diye Nikka
You make even the stars look dim, my love.

Ho Tainu Kinni Vaah-Vaah Hundi Te Ki Kehne Ginde Di
You receive so much praise, and words fall short of describing it.

Haye Meri Saari Dihari Langh Jugi Tere Gehne Ginde Di
My entire day will pass just counting your jewellery,

Haye Tere Gehne Ginde Di
Just counting your jewellery.

Haye Sona Sohna Ae Sohne Da Naa Sohana
Gold is beautiful, and even its name is beautiful.

Haye Sona Keemti Ae Sone Da Bhaa Sona
Gold is precious, and its value is beautiful too.

Haye Sona Sohniye Aap Inna Kithe
But gold itself is never this beautiful,

Paya Sohneya Ne Sona Lagge Taan Sohana
It looks beautiful only when worn by someone as beautiful as you.

Ho Nath Paundiyan Vyahiyan Tere Nakk Vich Koka Ni Nakk Vich Koka
Only married women wear a nose ring, yet you wear a nose stud.

Tu Haje Phir Kunwari Dinda Phirda Hoka Ni Phirda Hoka
Even though you are still unmarried, everyone comes to know it.

Ho Saanu Pattdiyan Phiran Pipal Pattiyan
Your peepal leaf-shaped earrings completely captivate me.

Haye Kokru Te Luttan Diyan Scheme’an Dassiyan
And your ear studs have taught me how to steal your heart.

Haye Gallan Teriyan Nu Aun Chumm-Chumm Ke
They hang low as if to kiss your cheeks again and again.

Haye Haan Diye Tere Naal Maardiyan Thumke
And they sway with every step you take, my love.

Tu Saade Ton Ki Ki Badle Laine Ginde Di
While I am busy counting, what sweet revenge are you taking on me?

Haye Meri Saari Dihari Langh Jugi Tere Gehne Ginde Di
My entire day will pass just counting your jewellery,

Haye Tere Gehne Ginde Di
Just counting your jewellery.

Kangne Te Gajre Ne Veeni Da Shingaar Ni
Bangles and floral bracelets are the adornment of your wrists.

Haye Veeni Da Shingaar Ni
They are the adornment of your wrists.

Haye Vangan Kachiyan Chadhaye Jadon Paunda Koi Pyaar Ni
Those delicate glass bangles jingle whenever someone falls in love.

Haye Paunda Koi Pyaar Ni
Whenever someone falls in love.

Ho Bhaag Taliyan De Mehandiyan Ne Dene Ae Jagaa
The mehndi is about to awaken the fortune in your palms.

Shagnan Na Jami Tainu Choodiyan Da Chaa
And you have a deep love for auspicious wedding bangles.

Haye Aakhde Aa Jhanjhar De Bor Ni
The tiny bells of your anklets say,

Haye Arjan Bina Ni Tu Chaundi Koi Hor Ni
That you desire no one except Arjan.

Ho Saanu Kinne Vich Eh Sab Kujh Paine Ginde Di
How much will all of this cost me as I keep counting it?

Haye Meri Saari Dihari Langh Jugi Tere Gehne Ginde Di
My entire day will pass just counting your jewellery,

Haye Tere Gehne Ginde Di
Just counting your jewellery.
