Nirvair Pannu’s Bande Banjo Lyrics With English Translation
Oh Eh Sab Bhulekha Va Ke Changa Main,
Oh, it’s all an illusion that I am good.
Oye Rabb Thodi An Oye Kamleyo Banda Main,
Oh, I am not God, oh madmen, I am just a human.
Ho Tusi Bande Banjo Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous (or real).
Es Ishq Cho Niklo Bahar,
Come out of this (one-sided) love.
Ohnu Gal Nal La Lao Deek Da Ae,
Embrace the one who is waiting.
Ohnu Gal Nal La Lao Deek Da Ae Jeda Thonnu Kardae Pyar,
Embrace the one who is waiting, the one who loves you.
Oye Tusi Bande Banjo Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous.
Main Janda Thonnu Farak Nahin Bhawein Nafe Te Ya Nuksan,
I know it doesn’t matter to you, whether it’s profit or loss.
Par Ohdi Jan Bacha Lavo Vari Baiha Jan,
But save life of the one who is sacrificing life for you.
Kyon Parchhawein Pichhe Bhajjde,
Why chase illusions?
Kyon Parchhawein Pichhe Bhajjde Tusi Ho Gaye O Dushvar,
Why chase illusions? You have become difficult.
Oye Tusi Bande Banjo Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous.
Ik Tarfa Jeya Kar Laine O Peerhanpoorhan Jar Laine O,
You fall in one-sided love, and you endure the pain.
Jehde Panne Kore Hovan Mann Leya Ohvi Padh Laine O,
I assume you read even the blank pages.
Oh Tusi Ainve Ohda Kar Rahe Jehda Lave Na Thoddi Sar,
Oh, you are doing this for someone who doesn’t even care for you.
Oye Tusi Bande Banjo Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous.
Bauti Gal Je Aundi Nai Tan Halchal Tan Puchh Sakde Oh,
If you don’t know much, you can at least ask how she is.
Akhan Muhre A Gaye O Je Thodi Der Tan Ruk Sakde Oh,
If you have come in front of her, you can at least stop for a while.
Ho Kyon Adh Vichkare Bhatakde,
Oh, why are you भटक (‘bhatak’-lost/wandering aimlessly) in the middle?
Hun Lag Jao Ar Ya Par,
Now, go to one side or the other.
Ho Tusi Bande Ban Jao Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous.
Ho Tusi Bande Ban Jao Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous.
Es Ishq Cho Niklo Bahar,
Come out of this (one-sided) love.
Ohnu Gal Nal La Lao Deek Da Ae,
Embrace the one who is waiting.
Ohnu Gal Nal La Lao Deek Da Ae Jeda Thonnu Kardae Pyar,
Embrace the one who is waiting, the one who loves you.
Oye Tusi Bande Banjo Ashiqo,
Oh, lovers, be generous.
