Sidhu Moose Wala’s Lock Lyrics Translate to English
Dhakke Nal Dabbeya Koi Kinnа Chir Jhukda Hai,
When someone is suppressed by force, how long will they remain subdued?
Fer Dang Toh Shuru Hunda Ghode Te Mukkda Hai,
Eventually, it starts with resistance and ends with complete dominance.
Advice A Ohna Nu Jo Sadde Bahle Lagde Ne,
This is advice for those who bother too much about us.
Ho Jadon Jhakke Khulde Ne Ghare Tale Hi Lagde Ne,
When the oppressed individuals overcome their reluctance, their homes become permanently locked down.
Jhde Radаk Gaye Akhаn Ch Khabbikhan Bаrobar Ne,
Those who once caused us pain have now become our equals.
Jadon Bhajjan T Hi A Gaye Fer Vahn Barobar Ne,
In an enmity, both parties are equally potent.
Sada Mada Sochde Jo Ki Sadde Sale Laggde Ne,
What do those who wish us ill think we are to them?
Jadon Jhake Khulde Ne Ghare Tale Hi Lagde Ne,
When they overcome their hesitation, it’s as if their houses are locked down.
Ho Asi Apni Zindаgi De Ceo Ho Gaye Je,
We have become the CEOs of our own lives.
Ghare Thonu Vi Behn Dinde Asi Po Ho Gaye Je,
We won’t allow you to enjoy peace and quiet at home.
Fer Kamm Ye Oh Hone Jeyon Juli Fale Lagde Ne,
Then things will happen that cause enormous distress.
Jadon Jhake Khulde Ne Ghare Tale Hi Lagde Ne,
When the oppressed overcome their hesitation, their homes become permanently locked down.
Jadon Vаir Vаdde Hunde Fer Jаilan Hi Hundiyan Ne,
When rivalries escalate, it leads to imprisonment.
Na Chhuttiyan Mildiya Ne Na Bailan Ee Hundiyan Ne,
There are no leaves granted, nor is bail granted.
Chulle Ghah Ugde Ne Khunje Jale Laggde Ne,
Grass grows in the hearth, and cobwebs form in the corners.
Jadon Jhake Khulde Ne Ghare Tale Hi Lаgde Ne,
When the oppressed overcome their hesitation, their homes become permanently locked down.
