Better With Me

[Verse 1]

[Verse 1]

Addhi galwakdi payi c

It was just a fleeting, half-hearted embrace.

Ikk photo dekhi kathe'aa di

I saw that snapshot of you two together.

Tu badhi shakeeni layi c

You were really trying to play it up.

Jedhi photo dekhi kathe'aa di

That picture of you both looking so staged.

Haye aye ta oh vi sajjda c

Sure, he looked the part.

Aye ta tu vi sajjdi c

And you played your role perfectly.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Par tu ohde naal oh ni lagdi

But the truth is, you don't glow with him

Jo mere naal lagdi c

The way you used to when you were mine.

[Verse 2]

[Verse 2]

Rangg joban husan bathera ae

You’ve got all the youth and beauty in the world.

Chehra pehla 'angu dagg da nai

But your face doesn’t radiate the same light anymore.

Haye rangg suit'aa da tere te

Even those bright colors on your clothes

Hun pehla 'angu sajjda ni

Don’t seem to sit right or sparkle like they used to.

[Verse 3]

[Verse 3]

Haye ae gall ni mehnge saste di

This isn’t about designer labels or price tags.

Na masla haar shingar'aa da

It has nothing to do with expensive trinkets.

Chehre te laali chadh jave

A genuine flush only blooms on a face

Jadd chadh da baddal pyaara da

When the true storm of deep love rolls in.

Haye tang dil kam dil lagdi ae

You look hollow, almost fragile now.

Ohde naal khuldi jaani ae

Sure, you’re drifting along with him,

Ohde vich rachdi rachdi

Getting lost in his hollow world,

Haye khud nu bhuldi jaani ae

But you’re losing who you really are in the process.

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Par tu ohde naal oh ni lagdi

But you don't wear the same light with him

Jo mere naal lagdi c

That you carried when you were standing by my side.

[Verse 4]

[Verse 4]

Haye saanu beshak teri kammi rahu

I’ll miss you, sure, that’s a given.

Par tainu mera ghatta ae

But you? You’re the one who lost the real deal.

Oh saadi qismat de vich mehfil'aa te

My destiny is written with celebrations and life,

Karmaa vich iklapa ae

While yours is doomed to a lonely, empty road.
