Lyrics Das Ja - L. Hussainpuri

Miya bhi buliya naleh shaj bhi tu puniya
I called my sweetheart and cracked a shaj. (Rituals performed on weddings)
Menu das ja meleneh, kere pind di tu ni
Tell me darling, what village are you from
Menu das ja meleneh
Tell me darling
Parso theh nanaka melh wich aai tu
For the past 3 days, you've been at your mothers family house
Viyah valeh ghar nu bhi javeh mehkiyeh tu
You bring so much life to the wedding house
Parso theh nanaka melh wich aai tu
For the past 3 days, you've been at your mothers family house
Viyah valeh ghar nu bhi javeh mehkiyeh tu
You bring so much life to the wedding house
Sadeh pind umberah deh chand bhi ni chariya
In our village the moon hasn't even come out
Ni wekh keh thera mooh ni
After seeing your face
Menu das ja meleneh, kere pind di tu ni
Tell me darling, what village are you from
Menu das ja meleneh
Tell me darling
Rathi jagho wich jadoh kahgra khamaia si
Last night at the Jagho (ritual performed, the night before the wedding) when you twirled your Kahgra (Indian dress)
Tenu wekh sara sahda pind nasheaia si
The whole village was stunned after seeing you
Rathi jagho wich jadoh kahgra khamaia si
Last night at the Jagho (ritual performed, the night before the wedding) when you twirled your Kahgra (Indian dress)
Tenu wekh sara sahda pind nasheaia si
The whole village was stunned after seeing you
Thaio thereh nah oteh bhakre bholonde
That's why we repeat your name
Thenoo wekh keh khire geh nooh ni
Seeing you everyone else will back out
Menu das ja meleneh, kere pind di tu ni
Tell me darling, what village are you from
Menu das ja meleneh
Tell me darling
Tere mapyia tooh aaisi thenoo mahng lehna ni
I will ask your parents for your hand in marriage
Rakhna bhanake tenu dil wala gehna ni
I will keep you close to my heart as a necklace
Tere mapyia tooh aaisi thenoo mahng lehna ni
I will ask your parents for your hand in marriage
Rakhna bhanake tenu dil wala gehna ni
I will keep you close to my heart as a necklace
Bhade pind pohlieh tooh raj kari jahke
In my big village, you'll rule it!
Ni bhanke gilla di nauh ni
When you become Gill's daughter in law
Menu das ja meleneh, kere pind di tu ni
Tell me darling, what village are you from
Menu das ja meleneh
Tell me darling
