[English]

Oh boy, all the guys are jealous now, for no reason

Sitting with me, born in Canada, but fully desi inside

Wore a kurta with sneakers and snapbacks on

In the shoes, I've kept the Jalsa joints amidst the dirt

When she came close, my head just exploded

Pure love hit me, yeah

I was wandering after you yesterday, you naughty one

Now you're a prodigy, oh

Two things the guy needs: get yellow or get light (money and women)

The bet is fully set, coming from Delhi, without fear

I haven't taken on anyone's bullshit today (Ahan)

Once I open my eyes, I take on the fights and bullshit

Again and again, these thongs come swinging

Rollies, guns, and on that, pain bullets

VIP seat empty, for all my brothers

They've kept the barriers to free the VVIP seats

I'm showing your songs to everyone, you're tired

Looking at our 14-carat, the guy's sizzling

I'll get you a Cartier bracelet too

How beautiful they'll look on you, watching and checking

The checkers are flying, no more pigeons now

Horses are running only in the streets

I'm thanking my sister for waking up early

Helping out my brothers without any selfishness

In LA, in LV store, picking up some pills (mollies)

Courtside, come with me to see LeBron

Tell me where to get the tickets

For you, I'll spend that time, guys

It feels like a royal vibe, something else

Where we're stuck, it's havoc, something else

Come with me, see, hearts connect

My friends' village air, something else

Firing shots, not hiding the brotherhood

Fan of your look, that one doesn't fall easily

We never asked for anything for ourselves

For your happiness, we roam joyfully

Just yesterday, I ramped up the industry's gears

Got stronger, now flying high

Baba, see for yourself, everything's clean and honest

That's why we keep the treasure buried

For my brothers, keeping the drinks shared

It goes on, by God's grace

People say how you write these lines, Aujla

Show them by doing it again

The pen moves, creating styles

The song says, hear it, oh, I might die

You only say yes, girl

I'll make an album about you

On your face, the blushes like Manali hills

Anklets jingling, like an empty gap

All night I sat listening to you

You sound like Nusrat's qawwali

...

[Panjabi / Punjabi]

Oo yaar saare type de ni sau te kaleshi aa

Naal baitha born Canada jamma desi aa

Ni kurte naal sohniye snapback'an paa lian

Paira vich jalsa rakane modde khesi aa

Ni jado kolo langh gi sira hi ho gea

Kude meinu ishq niraa Eee ho gea

Ni tere piche chakta si kal nakhro

Nikle aa jaan da bacha hi ho gea

Ni do hi kam jatt nu, ni peeli'e ja paili'e

Bazi puri pakki ae ni dehle di e nehlie

Ni ajj tak leya ni rakane panga mull da (Ahan)

Ek vari aakhde ladai mull leliye

Ni ban-ban aunde aa eh tan toliyan

Rollie'an gutt'an te utte paun boliyan

Ni khabbi seat khali mere sare yaraan di

Baarian rakane layi nii kadе kholian

Ni ikko teri gaanian dikhaundi ni tu thakdi

Sahde-14 carat'an ni chee-chee dekh jatt di

Tеinu vi bana dean ni Cartier da kangna

Kine sohni lagengi rakane dekhi jachdi

Ni ghugian uddaian na kabutri kude

Ghodi oo bhajai'an bas Nukkri kude

Shukar karida biba utth tadke

Ni neet ni yaaran di beshukari kude

Ni LA vicch LV mai laike dawa paun nu

Courtside chal naal dekhi LeBron nu

Dass meinu kithe di karava kara ticket'an

Tere lai mein vehla oda time hai ni saun nu

Sanu lagge raub di hawa ee hor ae

Ni jithe saddi pakdi tabahi hor ae

Mere naal chal dekhi dil lagda

Ni mittaran de pind di hawa eee hor ae

Ni firde aa bukkde ni yaari ch ni lukkda

Fan teri look da, oda ni chheti jhukkda ni

Assi kade aapde lai nahi kuch mangea

Kude teri sukh lai makhane fira sukhda

Ni kal hi chadhaea gatta gudd da kude

Tadkee shakki aa fira udd'da kude

Ni baba appe dekhe neet saaf goriye

Taan hi ni rakaane dana thudd'da kude

Ni yaarian ch khai da rakaane share karke

Bas chali janda ae babe di mehar karke

Kai kehnde eda kida likh lenda Aujla

Ohna nu dikhai da rakaane fer karke

Ni chaldi aa kalam banawan tarz'an

Geet kehndi sun ke hae mein mar jaan

Ni tu tan bas haan hi ni kehndi goriye

Tere utte album hune kar jaa

Ni chehre utte laaliyaa aa manali jehi lagdi

Jhanjhraan leada addi khaali jehi lagdi

Sari raat sunda raha main kalla baith ke

Tu Nusrat di qawwali jehi lagdi
