Mere chote behn bhra te mere galli de eh bache // My younger siblings and the kids in my streets
Mainu vekh k ne hore saare vadey // Are inspired by my story as they grow up
Bhatija mera boley mera chacha boht fly ve // My nephew tells his friends his Uncle is really fly

O 26 saal hogey mainu ess narak ch aaye // Its been 26 years since I entered this hell
Te huney v mai kra intezaar mainu koi farak dikhaye // I’m still waiting to find people who can prove otherwise
Peyo ne mainu chalna sikhaya par daudeya mai aapey // I learnt how to walk by my Father’s side but taught myself how to run
Chineya mai loka toh v boht par modeya ve aapey // I’ve snatched a lot from people but returned everything on my own
Fuddu kamma nu naa krke banaya ve naam // I refused to do useless work and made my name my own way
Thukraiya vaddi vaddi rakam // I said no to huge amounts of money
Mera ik galat kadam, galiya da rah dega badal // My one wrong move will change the direction my streets (and people) are heading towards
Fuddu kamma nu naa krke banaya ve naam // I refused to do useless work and made my name my own way
Thukraiya vaddi vaddi rakam // I said no to huge amounts of money
Mera ik galat kadam, galiya da rah dega badal // My one wrong move will change the direction my streets (and people) are heading towards


Mere chote behn bhra te mere galli de eh bache // My younger siblings and the kids in my streets
Mainu vekh k ne hore saare vadey // Are inspired by my story as they grow up
Bhatija mera boley mera chacha boht fly ve // My nephew tells his friends his Uncle is really fly

Paira thalo kadke zameen // I’m pulling the ground beneath your feet
Sir toh udawa asmaan. // and removed the sky above your head
Satve aakaar te beke // I’m sitting in the seventh dimension
Novi zindagi te launa va sattey. // I’m gambling on my last / ninth life
Ha Mai ohi Aa jawaab jinu labbey. // I’m the answer you seek
Na andar na baar, mai te betha va vich. // Neither inside or outside, I’m sitting in the centre (I’ve found my centre)
Akha band mainu tavi sb dikhey. // I see everything when i close my eyes
Jede panney khule aj, oh ateet ch c likhey // The pages that are presently open, I wrote them in my past
Te aun wale time ch sikhawanga tareekey. // I’ll teach you the way in the future

Kidda nikal na ve galiya toh baar // How to leave these streets
Karobaar di vjah toh fasaya ya fir sarkaar. // Am I stuck here because of my work or because of the government / system?
Ghar ch aave na dhup, // There’s no sunlight entering my house
Samaaj karaunda chup, // Society’s made me shut up
Dil ve nashe ch dhut, // Hearts have disappeared amidst addiction
Kitte vi mile na sukh, // There’s no peace to be found here

Sango na aawe awaaz, // Where I can’t speak my truth
Khayala de bane pulao, // Thoughts have turned to mush
Maran da aya jazbaat, // Thoughts of dying are entering my head
Akha ch aunde ni athru, baney dabao. // I’ve lost the ability to cry, they’ve become a burden
Taerna ni aunda, mai ta doob reha. // I don’t know how to swim, I’m drowning
Mai ta doob reha. // I’m going to set (sleep) now
Swere mai uganga wapis te davanga taqat // I will rise again in the morning, I’ll give you strength
Chamkanga kalla mai duro di, // I’ll be the shining light you see from afar
Dekho mai jal reha. // I’m burning up
Muh te muskaan, angara te chal reha // I’m smiling as I walk on hot embers

Kar reha koshish, nikla salakha toh baar. // I’m trying to exit this prison
Kar reha koshish, nikla salakha toh baar. // I’m trying to exit this prison
Muh te muskaan, angara te chal reha // I’m smiling as I walk on hot embers
Muh te muskaan, angara te chal reha // I’m smiling as I walk on hot embers
Muh te muskaan, angara te chal reha // I’m smiling as I walk on hot embers
Muh te muskaan, angara te chal reha // I’m smiling as I walk on hot embers
