Thah Thah Lyrics English Translation – Ranjit Bawa

Gabru di hek billo dhadd mangdi
A young man’s chest craves the beat of the traditional drum, girl,

Yaaran de test yaari att mangdi
And true friendship demands ultimate loyalty.

Edda kaaton jigra khauf jatt da
Why does a Jatt’s fearless heart strike such awe,

UK di laboratory blood mangdi
That laboratories in the UK want to sample his blood?

Kera pakke pairin vekh saadi ho ke balliye
Just stand firmly by my side for once, girl,

Ni phir Dawood vi vikhave saathon kho ke balliye
And see if even the strongest rival can snatch anything from us.

Oh rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange
God willing, we’ll tear through every challenge,

O rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange tote balliye
God willing, we’ll smash our obstacles to pieces, girl.

Dekhi chal side te khalo ke balliye
Just stand back and watch the show, girl.

Vadde hoye jatt thah-thah sun ke
We Jatts grew up listening to roaring, explosive sounds,

Saada dopamine ture paa-paa sun ke
And our dopamine surges to the sound of heavy beats.

Bebe kehndi chhadne ni pair puttra
My mother says, ‘Never forget your roots, son,’

Unjh yaar tera saunda vaah-vaah sun ke
Even as your partner sleeps peacefully to endless praise.

Deni jhanjar main diamond paroke balliye
I’ll gift you anklets studded with diamonds, my girl,

Rakhe addiyan gulabi ni tu dho ke balliye
As you keep your rosy heels washed and clean.

Ni rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange
God willing, we’ll tear through every challenge,

O rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange tote balliye
God willing, we’ll smash our obstacles to pieces, girl.

Dekhi chal side te khalo ke balliye
Just stand back and watch the show, girl.

Naam rakheya ae ghorhi da kapatti raniye
I’ve named my mare ‘Kapatti’ for her fiery spirit, my queen,

Aakhan r#fal nu sada maan matti raniye
And we hold our rifle with high honor, my queen.

Ghare bhaavein kamm da na dakka torhiye
We might not lift a finger to do chores at home,

Par Guru ghare tent laiye hatthin raniye
But we pitch tents with our own hands at the sacred temple, my queen.

Pichhe hatte nahiyo kise naal khalo ke balliye
We’ve never backed down when standing up for what’s right, girl,

Taiyon mittran nu udeekde aa mauke balliye
That’s why golden opportunities always come seeking us out.

Rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange
God willing, we’ll tear through every challenge,

O rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange tote balliye
God willing, we’ll smash our obstacles to pieces, girl.

Dekhi chal side te khalo ke balliye
Just stand back and watch the show, girl.

Khet jaavan dil ‘ch flute vajde
When I walk into the fields, sweet flutes play in my heart,

LC te jeeri de gharoot vajde
As my luxury SUV rolls past the rustling paddy fields.

Batthan vaale Battha kade maan na kariye
O Batth, we must never let arrogance consume us,

Oh rabb hi vajave taan salute vajde
For true respect comes only when God ordains it.

Vairi chakkde si siri main gandote balliye
Rivals used to hold their heads high, but I brought them down to earth, girl,

O tank bande si k#rtoos thothe balliye
They pretended to be tanks, but their threats were hollow, girl.

Rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange
God willing, we’ll tear through every challenge,

O rabb sukh rakhe daah diyange tote balliye
God willing, we’ll smash our obstacles to pieces, girl.

Dekhi chal side te khalo ke balliye
Just stand back and watch the show, girl.
