GOT IT! GOT IT!! GOT IT!!!

3 AERIAL SOMERSAULTS!!

Here it is:

ਚਦਹ ਫਟੇ ਮੈ ਟਕਿਆ ਲਾਵਾ
ਅਂਬਹ ਫਟੇ ਕੀ ਸੀਨਾ ?
ਖਾਵਿਂਦ ਮਰੇ ਤਾਂ ਹੋਰ ਕਰਾਂ ਮੈਂ,
ਆਸ਼ਕ ਮਰੇ ਕਿਣਾਂ ਜੀਨਾਂ ?

Chadar phateyan mein takiyan laawan
Ambar phate kya seena?
Khavind mare hor karan mein
Ashiq mare kina jeena?

(I can patch a sheet if torn
But can I stich the sky?
A husband dies, I remarry
A lover dies, can I live?)


Mein ik lok geet,
Be-nau, hawa vich khara
Hawa da hissa
Jeenu changa lagan
Oh chete bana lave
Hor changa lagan
Te apnaa vee lave
Jee awae tan gaa vee lave
Mein ik lok geet.
Siraf lok geet.
Jeenu nau deeKadi lor nahi paindee.

(I am an unnamed folk song,
A part of the flowing breeze,
Those who appreciate meMay remember me,
Those who admire meMay own me
Those who cherish meMay even sing me
I am a folk song
Just a folk song
That does not require any name)

ਮੈ ਇਕ ਲੋਕ ਗੀਤ,
ਬੇ- ਨਾਊ, ਹਵਾ ਵਿਚ ਥਙਾ,
ਹਵਾ ਦਾ ਹਿਸ੍ਸਾ,
ਜਿਨੂ ਚਂਗਾ ਲਗਾਂ,
ਓ ਚੇਤੇ ਲਾ ਲਵੇ,
ਹੋਰ ਚਂਗਾ ਲਗਾਂ,
ਤੇ ਅਪਨਾ ਵੀ ਲਵੇ,
ਜੀ ਆਵੇ ਤਾਂ ਗਾ ਵੀ ਲਵੇ.
ਮੈ ਇਕ ਲੋਕ ਗੀਤ,
ਸਿਰਫ ਲੋਕ ਗੀਤ,
ਜਿਨੂ ਨਾਊ ਦੀ
ਕਦੀ ਲੋਣ ਨਹੀ ਪੌਂਦੀ
