Paroles et traduction Ranjit Bawa - Mitti

Mitti

Bawa Mitti Da Banauni Haan
Ohnu Teri Pagg Bannh Ke
Dukh Dil Da Sunauni Haan

Bawa Mitti Da Eh Bolda Hi Nahi
Meri Gal Sun Lainda,
Dukh Aapne Farolda Hi Nahi

Mukh Maitho Modeya Ee,
Dil Mera Todeya Ee,
Jaa Ke Pardesi Dere Laa Laye
Tereyan Vichodeyan Ne
Chandeyan Jhoreyan Ne
Main Te Mera Bawa Dowein Kha Laye
Bawa Mitti Da Eh Dukh Sehnda
Ve Jadon Tenu Chete Karda
Eh Vi Mere Wangu Ro Painda

Laal Phulkarian Ho Reejhan Naal Sawariyan
Jo Laggdian Chunniyan Oh Chittiyan
Rooh Meri Butt Hogayi Vidhwa Eh Rutt Ho Gayi
Rol Gayon Jawani Vich Mittiyan
Bawa Mitti Da Eh Tutt Challeya
Terian Udeekan Sohneya
Painda Umran Da Mukk Challeya

Tatte Tatte Hanjuan Ne Dukh Katte Hanjuan Ne
Hizran Da Charkha Tu De Gayon
Sadhra Viraan Hoiyan Sabhe Shamshan Hoiyan
Ik Vaari Pind Aaja Deep Siho
Bawa Mitti Da Eh Butt Varga
Lokan Nu Khidauna Lagga
Mainu Lagge Mere Putt Varga

Mitti

My dear, I am made of Earth,
Let me tie your turban,
And listen to the sorrow in your heart.

My dear, this Earth doesn't speak at all,
But it listens to my words,
It is not able to express its own pain.

You've turned your sweet face away,
And broken my heart,
You've gone and settled abroad,
And your memories have,
Set fire to my lanterns and rivers,
And both me and my dear Earth are consumed.
My dear, this Earth bears this pain,
When I remember you,
It also starts to cry like me.

The red flowers have blossomed, and the young women are adorned with basil,
The chunnis that they wear are white,
My soul has become a widow, and this season has turned,
My youth has been buried in the earth.
My dear, this Earth is breaking apart,
In your anticipation, my love,
The hope of my life has been uprooted.

My tears fall one by one, they cut through my pain,
You have given me the spinning wheel of sorrow.
The village has become deserted, it has become a crematorium.
Come back to the village once, and light a lamp.
My dear, this Earth is like a father,
It has started to mourn for the people,
But to me, it feels like my own son.
