Mxrci!

Mxrci!

Ho paye khateya ch kade ni aukaat dasde

Real ones don't need to brag about their bank accounts

Pindo tura loki chadd di baraat dasde

When I roll out of the village, it looks like a royal parade

Khateya ch kade ni aukaat dasde

We don't go around flexing our status

Pindo tura loki chadd di baraat dasde

When I set off, the streets stop and stare

Ho vellia nu umra di ghaat dasde

I let the haters know their clock is ticking fast

Kehnde baaleya to jabbi maani janda dabbeya

They think they can bury the fire of my youth

Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude

But the massive turnout at my funeral will speak the truth, girl

Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya

About everything this young man really earned in life

Ho siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude

The crowd that follows me to the end will tell the tale

Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya

Showing everyone the weight of my life's work

Siveya nu jaanda kath dasuga kude

They’ll see the legacy left behind at the pyre

Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya

Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya

A legacy etched in the hearts of my people

Gabru ne zindagi ch ki khateya

Proving my worth far beyond gold and silver

Jiyonde aa te lagdi aa mehfila billo

We live like kings, surrounded by brothers and revelry

Mare utte lagne aa mele balliye

And even in death, my passing will be a celebration

Jiyonde aa te lagdi aa mehfila billo

While I breathe, the parties never end

Mare utte lagne aa mele balliye

And when I'm gone, my legacy will spark festivities

Ni yaar khatte pyaar dildaar khateya

I built a life on loyal bonds and pure love

Naahi ustaad naahi chele balliye

I bow to no one and claim no followers, just my own path

O jameya ni koi galmein nu aa jave

Nature hasn't produced a soul brave enough to step to me

Jameya ni koi galmein nu aa jave

No one alive can challenge this spirit

Ho rabb chakku jado saada time chakeya

When the Almighty finally calls my number

Ho rabb chakku jado saada time chakeya

When my time on this earth hits the finish line

What I gathered in my time here is intangible

Ho rehjuga naam phave aa na raha

I’ll vanish, but my reputation is carved in stone

Hongia gallan billon gal gal te

My name will be on everyone's lips, whispered in every story

Ho tainu ditta dil billo tera he rahu

The heart I gave you will be yours forever

Das kada davan ae pinde di khal te

What else could I offer you beyond my very soul?

Ho jaandi vaari hove ankha mure sohniye

Let your face be the last thing I see before I go

Jaandi vaari hove ankha mure sohniye

Stay before my eyes as I depart this life

O saade dil di deori hor kaun tappeya

No one else has dared to enter the sanctuary of my heart

O saade dil di deori hor kaun tappeya

You own the key to everything I am

They'll witness the weight of my life
