Divine’s Rain Lyrics English {Meaning}
This sense of gritty aspiration continues in the translation of the Rain lyrics, where the track’s profound honesty fully unfolds. Divine’s verses are a powerful testament to his struggle, rejecting the idea of getting anything “served on a plate”. He employs clever cultural metaphors, comparing his resilience to that of cricketer Pujara, to paint a vivid picture of a life built on relentless effort.
College Class Skip KiyaI skipped my college classes.
Zabaan Rakh Ke Risk LiyaI took a risk by speaking my mind.
Gaadi Baad Liye, Pehle Maa Ko Ghar Gift KiyaThe car came later; first, I gifted my mother a house.
Ruffles Nahi Par Ab Bag Bhar Ke Chips LiyaIt’s not Ruffles, but I buy bags of chips now.
Turban Nahi Pehne Par Kaam Saara Sick KiyaI do not wear a turban, but all my work is sick.
Test Karna Chahte Par Main ‘Pujara’ Jaise Tik GayaThey tried to test me, but I stood my ground like ‘Pujara’, a famously resilient Indian cricketer known for his unyielding defense.
Har Nukkad Building Par Supari Jaise Bik GayaMy name was passed around every street and building like a ‘supari’ contract, which is a term for a contract given to underworld hitmen in India.
Adnan Saami Wala Weight, Game Pura Lift KiyaI carried the weight of ‘Adnan Sami’, a singer known for his significant weight loss journey, and lifted up the entire game.
Coast Wale Ladke, Bombay Ko Maine Nip DiyaWe are guys from the coast; I brought the vibe of ‘Nipsey Hussle’, the late LA rapper celebrated for his entrepreneurial spirit and community work, to Bombay.
Main Aur Mera Bhai Main, Andheri Ke Liye Clipse DiyaMy brother and I brought the standard of ‘Clipse’, an iconic US rap duo recognized for their lyrical excellence, to our neighborhood of Andheri.
Hum Hisaab Karte Dost, Tune Hiss Hiss KiyaWe settle accounts directly, my friend, while you just hissed like a snake.
Tere Sapne Hue Sach, Maine Jaake Risk LiyaYour dreams came true on their own; I had to go out and take risks to achieve mine.
‘Moserbaer’ Hai Flow, Tujhe Classic Sab Disk DiyaMy flow is like ‘Moser Baer’, an old Indian CD manufacturer famous for their classic discs; I gave you all the classic discs.
Living Like I Lost It, Life Is A Gift MiyaanI am living like I have nothing to lose; life is a gift, my friend.
Dimaag Se Main Budha, Kamar Ke Liye Stick LiyaMy mind is old, so I use a walking stick for support.
Jo Bolta Lyrics Mein Kasam Se Maine Sab KiyaI swear on my life, everything I say in my lyrics, I have actually done.
Bars Mange Mujhse Inn Sabko Network DiyaThey asked me for bars of music; I gave them all a network instead.
Give Me Some Sunshine, Give Me Some RainGive me some sunshine, give me some rain.
Give Me Another Chance, I Wanna Grow Up Once AgainGive me another chance; I want to grow up once again.
Tujhe Kyun Bole Jeena Yahan, Kuch Nahi HaseenaWhy would anyone tell you to live here? There is nothing beautiful here.
Sirf Dard Aur Paseena, Tu Chale Ya Kabhi NaThere is only pain and sweat, whether you choose to walk this path or not.
Ek Daana Bhi Pache Na, Ek Raat Bhi Katte NaYou cannot even digest a single grain of food; you cannot even get through a single night.
Agar Ops Ka Tu Dost, Toh Hum Baat Bhi Kare NaIf you are friends with the opposition, then we will not even speak to you.
Kaamyaabi Ki Bhook Hai YehThis is a hunger for success.
Mehnat Saboot Hai YehThis hard work is the proof.
Rehmat Ki Chhoot Nahi HaiThere are no handouts of mercy here.
Daal Dete Andar Yaha Pe Lagta Saboot Nahi HaiThey can throw you in jail here without any evidence.
Hasna Beta Sahi Nahi HaiSmiling is not the right thing to do here, my boy.
Sochne Lagte Naram, Tab Toh Garam Rehna Sahi Sahi HaiThey start to think you are soft, so staying fired up is the only right way to be.
Tere Jaisa Kabhi Plate Pe Nahi MilaI never had things served to me on a plate like you did.
Tere Jaise Gharpe Mujhe Kabhi Baith Ke Nahi MilaI never got anything by just sitting at home like you did.
Zimmedaari Liye, Kabhi Fek Ke Nahi MilaI took on responsibilities; I never got by on pretending to know what I was doing.
Par Rap Ke Liye Kya Kya Dekhne Ko MilaHowever, I have had to endure many things for the sake of rap.
Tere Jaisa Kabhi Plate Pe Nahi MilaNothing was ever handed to me on a platter like it was for you.
Tere Jaise Gharpe Mujhe Kabhi Baith Ke Nahi MilaNothing ever came to me by waiting at home like it did for you.
Zimmedaari Liye, Kabhi Fek Ke Nahi MilaI shouldered my responsibilities; I never received anything by being fake.
Par Rap Ke Liye Kya Kya Dekhne Ko MilaBut for the sake of this rap game, I have had to witness so much.
Give Me Some Sunshine, Give Me Some RainGive me some sunshine, give me some rain.
Give Me Another Chance, I Wanna Grow Up Once AgainGive me another chance; I want to grow up once again.
Yeh Mere Sadkon Ka GaanaThis is the song of my streets.
Andheri Sadkon Pe Diye JalanaIt is about lighting lamps on the dark roads.
Jale Zamana, Jalta Hai KyunThe world burns with jealousy, but why does it burn?
Hona Sabko RawanaEveryone has to depart from here eventually.
Building on this narrative of perseverance, the visuals feature Sitara Singh and Leela Rose, further grounding the song’s story in a street-level setting. A masterstroke is the sampling of the iconic chorus from the movie ‘3 Idiots.’ That song originally expressed a plea for freedom from pressure. Divine brilliantly recontextualizes this nostalgic hook. He contrasts its hopeful longing with his own raw story of seizing that chance through sheer force of will.
