Refugee Lyrics English Translation – Jordan Sandhu

Aaunde Hi Yaaran Nu Chaah Paani Paa Daiye
As soon as we arrive, we serve drinks to our friends.

Jehda Peg Chakke Na Ni Gaal Paa Daiye
And whoever doesn’t raise a glass, we call them out.

Mud De Ni Pind Saal-Saal Paa Daiye
We don’t return to the village for years,

Te Kayiyan De Dharhe Taur Naal Paa Daiye
And we overpower several rival groups with style.

Oh Sasti Ji Drip Aale MuhN Ni Karde
We don’t pay attention to cheap-looking styles,

Ni Vairi Te Pasand Maada Shoe Ni Karde
And we don’t like cheap shoes or weak enemies.

Taahin Saade Muhre Addi Chu Ni Karde
That’s why no one dares to speak up in front of us,

Naddiyan Nu Haan Chhad Hu Ni Karde
And the girls never say no to us.

Jo G#li Tunni Hundi Ae Band#ok Vich Ni
Just as a b#llet fits perfectly and powerfully inside a g#n,

Odan Jachi Payi Ae Tu Suit Vich Ni
You look absolutely stunning in that traditional suit.

Kaptaan Utte Chhid Gayi Zehar Jattiye
Girl, you’ve cast a dangerous spell over the captain,

Aayi Payi Ae Sapni De Roop Vich Ni
Arriving with the allure of a deadly beauty.

Jeep Rakhi Jatt Ne Kille De Mull Di
The Jatt’s Jeep is worth a fortune,

Te Sadkan Ton Chaude Ohde Tyre Paaye
With tyres wider than the roads themselves.

Saah Lainde Ohdiyan Chakka Chulliyan
Everyone holds their breath when we pass by,

Ni Asle Di Sauh Jithe Vair Paa Liye
I swear, whoever makes an enemy of us never gets any peace.

Ni Gall-Gall Utte Bet Laake Beh Jaiye
We start a bet over every little thing,

Kade Jitt Jaiye Cash Kade Daake Beh Jaiye
Sometimes we win cash, sometimes we take over the game.

Tu Puchhe Dil Saada Kithe Lagda
You ask where my heart feels at home,

Assi Thaane ‘Ch Vi Jee Laake Beh Jaiye
And we can settle in comfortably even at the police station.

Bapu Bole Ghante Saadi Ni Os Time ‘Ch
Back then, my father’s word was as good as law,

Tu Ae Laa Lai Bas Rajvaade Jammeya
So just assume that we were born into royalty.

Pachees Pindi Laddu Vande Motichoor De
Motichoor laddoos were distributed across twenty-five villages,

Ni Assi Kehda Billo Gharon Maade Jammeya
Because we weren’t born into an ordinary family.

Ni Bebe Kolon Loriyan Te Laad Mileya Ae
I received lullabies and endless love from my mother,

Har Chhoti Vaddi Thaan Regard Mileya Ae
And earned respect everywhere, big or small.

Char Din Pehlan Hi Mumbai Shehar Ton
Just four days ago, from the city of Mumbai,

Saanu Jaagdi Zameer Da Award Mileya Ae
We received an award for keeping our conscience alive.

Lakh Dollar Nu Agg Laake Mud Gaye
We spent a hundred thousand dollars and came back,

Te Kurte De Stitch Karva Ke Mud Gaye
And returned after getting our traditional kurtas tailored.

Oh Tere Shehar Aaye Jatt Majhe Vale Ni
Those Majha Jatts came to your city,

Bas Billo Caviar Kha Ke Mud Gaye
And simply ate caviar before heading back.

Kade-Kade Jithe Beh Gaye Uthde Hi Na
Sometimes, once we sit somewhere, we don’t get up at all,

Te Chalo-Chalo Kehke Kade Kaahl Paa Daiye
And sometimes, we rush off as soon as someone says, “Let’s go.”

Mittran Di Entry Toofan Vargi
Our entry is like a storm,

Jithe Pair Paiye Ni Bhuchaal Paa Daiye
Wherever we step, we create an earthquake.

Aaunde Hi Yaaran Nu Chaah Paani Paa Daiye
As soon as we arrive, we serve drinks to our friends.

Jehda Peg Chakke Na Ni Gaal Paa Daiye
And whoever doesn’t raise a glass, we call them out.

Mud De Ni Pind Saal-Saal Paa Daiye
We don’t return to the village for years,

Te Kayiyan De Dharhe Taur Naal Paa Daiye
And we overpower several rival groups with style.
