[Intro]
Mxrci!
Mxrci on the track!
[Verse 1]
Ho agge kithe aine din pind rehnda si
He never used to linger in the village this long before,
Haye jee jeha na lagge saala aayi kehnda si
Complaining he felt restless and bored out of his mind.
Agge kithe aine din pind rehnda si
He wasn't the type to spend his days in the village,
Haye jee jeha na lagge saala aayi kehnda si
Always griping about the lack of life here.
Shade thalle khadi gaddi maare shine taan
His car sits parked in the shade, gleaming under the sun,
Dot ni puwaya 4x4 da
He’s gone and finished the 4x4 conversion.
Dot ni puwaya 4x4 da
Yeah, that 4x4 rig is finally complete.
[Chorus]
Ho motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The sound of the music from the farm motor is echoing,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The unmistakable noise of a fresh, brutal heartbreak.
Motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
You can hear the tunes blasting from the pump house,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The soundtrack to a heart that’s just been shattered.
Haye motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
That music playing at the motor hits different,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
A painful reminder of a heart recently broken.
Ho baadkan da gayi matt gori ho gayi
That girl’s got him under her spell, his senses are gone,
Aartiyan wangu kudi kori ho hayi
She’s become as pristine and untouched as a prayer.
Ho machda husan phire akhan phookda
Her fiery elegance is literally burning the eyes of the onlookers,
B-Town phirda paranda shookda
Strutting through B-Town, that paranda swinging with every step.
Nikhar ke khada hu palazze ch koyi
She looks breathtaking in her palazzo suit,
Paa gaya hona jehda mull taur da
You can bet maintaining that level of style costs a pretty penny.
[Chorus]
Ho motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
Music blaring at the farm, vibrating the air,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The heavy silence of a soul freshly broken.
Motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The sound from the motor is distinct,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The loud echo of a recent heartbreak.
Haye motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
That music at the motor is playing on,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The chaos of a heart ripped apart.
Ho doori payi utte aashiq hai haarda
This distance is making the lover lose his resolve,
Utton timezone change hoya maar da
And these shifting time zones are just killing him.
Jhalaran de rang ne dimaag chakkda
The vibrant colors of her outfit are spinning his head,
Munda dil ton lifafeyan gulan ke rakhta
He’s kept his feelings buried deep, wrapped up in his heart.
Gaya katteya patang lutt koyi lai gaya
The string was cut, and someone else snatched the kite,
Umar niyanbi pinni kachi dor da
Youth is just like a weak string, easily snapped.
[Chorus]
Ho motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The music echoing from the farm,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
A testament to a heart recently destroyed.
Motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The melody from the motor plays on,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The sound of a fresh heartbreak.
Haye motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The tunes from the farm are haunting,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The loud noise of a recent heartbreak.
Ho chees opri ch Arjana pehli satt di
Arjan, it’s a strange ache, this very first blow of love,
Puchhno ni naal di mandeer hatdi
The boys around here just won't stop pestering me.
Ho jadda kar je delete kithe jehda jattiye
If you delete the roots, where do they go, girl?
Marayengi tu lagge baahar gehda jattiye
You’re going to be the death of me if you keep strutting outside.
Hundi aa pataud lala lala mitron
There’s a huge commotion going on, friends,
Laale na nasha jehda hadd khor da
Don't get addicted to the kind of love that rots your bones.
[Chorus]
Ho motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
Music at the motor is heard,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The echo of a fresh heartbreak.
Motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The sound from the motor is constant,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The loud sound of a fresh heartbreak.
Haye motor te vajjdi aa tape sunndi
The farm music keeps playing,
Nawa nawa dil tutteya shor da
The sound of a freshly broken heart.
