Door Des Koi Kudi Lyrics English Translation – Kaka

Nadi Naal Kheh Ke Thandi Hawa Aa Rahi Hai
A cool breeze is flowing along the river.

Door Des Koi Kudi Geet Ga Rahi Hai
Some girl in a distant land is singing a song.

Gallan Chum-Chum Latt Lehra Rahi Hai
Her tresses sway as they brush against her cheeks.

Door Des Koi Kudi Geet Ga Rahi Hai
Some girl in a distant land is singing a song.

Geet Intezaar Da Ae, Geet Ae Viyog Da
It is a song of waiting, a song of separation.

Thoda Jeya Shafa Da Te Thoda Jeya Rog Da
A little bit of healing and a little bit of pain.

Rog Te Viyog Vich Uljhi Hoyi Ae Taan Vi
Though she is entangled in sorrow and longing,

Muskara Ke Chidiyan Nu Chog Paa Rahi Ae
She smiles and feeds the birds.

Door Des Koi Kudi Geet Ga Rahi Ae
Some girl in a distant land is singing a song.

Kudi Bholi-Bhali Honi Maape Seedhe Saade Hone
She must be innocent and simple, with humble parents.

Ohda Ghare Hassna Hi Daulatan De Vaadhe Hone
Her laughter at home must be their greatest wealth.

Main Nahi Ghar Chhadna Pari De Iraade Hone
She must never have intended to leave her home.

Raatin Ohne Agg Vich Aloo Bhun Khadhe Hone
At night, she must have roasted potatoes over a fire and eaten them.

Hun Oh Saver Wali Cha Bana Rahi Hai
Now she is preparing the morning tea.

Gallan Chum-Chum Latt Lehra Rahi Hai
Her tresses sway as they brush against her cheeks.

Door Des Koi Kudi Geet Ga Rahi Hai
Some girl in a distant land is singing a song.

Des Ae Pahaadan Ch Pahaadan Vich Nadiyan Ji
Her land is full of mountains, with rivers flowing through them.

Mere Des Pahunchiyan Ni Nadiyan Oh Gadhiyan Ji
Those rivers never found their way to my land.

Je Aa Jandiyan Koi Chitthiyan Nu Tair Ke
If only some letters could have floated across them,

Saada Mel Hoya Nahi Beet Gayian Sadiyan Ji
We never met, and centuries seem to have passed.

Main Kade Gaya Nahi Oh Kade Aayi Nahi
I never went there, and she never came here.

Bulliyan De Naal Bas Main Ghariye
I only shape her image with words upon my lips.

Gallan Chum-Chum Latt Lehra Rahi Ae
Her tresses sway as they brush against her cheeks.

Door Des Koi Kudi Geet Ga Rahi Ae
Some girl in a distant land is singing a song.

Aaj Ohne Shaayar Di Agli Ghazal Gaayi
Today she sang the poet’s latest ghazal.

Panne Pile Pai Gaye Ji Kitaab De
The pages of the book have turned yellow with time.

Panniyan Ch Khushboo Ae Bhijje-Bhijje Jangalan Di
The pages carry the fragrance of rain-soaked forests.

Amban Waale Baag Jiyon Punjab De
Like the mango orchards of Punjab.

Hun Utthhe Mausam Masammiyan Da Hoya Ghatt Ghatt
Now the season of sweet citrus fruits has arrived, there in abundance.

Bhaariyan De Utte Noon La Rahi Hai
She is spreading salt over slices of fruit.

Gallan Chum-Chum Latt Lehra Rahi Hai
Her tresses sway as they brush against her cheeks.

Door Des Koi Kudi Geet Ga Rahi Hai

Kake Diyan Shaayarian Ne Geet Jihde Gaaundi Ae
She sings songs woven from Kake’s poetry.

Shaayarian Pasand Kare Shaayar Nu Chaaundi Ae
She loves poetry and cherishes the poet as well.

Kehndi Zindagi Ch Ik Vaar Tainu Aa Ke Milna Ae
She says she wants to meet you at least once in her life.

Jadon Mili Zor Naal Jaffi Paa Ke Milna Ae
And when she does, she will embrace you tightly.

Shaam Dhal Gayi Ae Chulle Agg Bal Gayi Ae
Evening has fallen, and the stove fire has been lit.

Hun Oh Deeyan Vich Tel Paa Rahi Ae
Now she is pouring oil into the lamps.

Nadi Naal Khah Ke Thandi Hawa Aa Rahi Ae
A cool breeze is flowing along the river.
