[English]

For you my love

For you my love

For you I love

Drift through the hurricane

Only for you

For you my love

For you I'd give up everything

For you I'd give

For you I have

Ki ae lab peya

Ki ae rusiya

Raza ch us di, vikhda, vikhda jaae, vikhda sukoon

Mukhte na nazare, haale ek pal baaki

Ek gal guzreya, duja kal baaki

Supna ae sach hai

Mitthi jahi khap hai

Na hun ruki

Oh Bandeya

Love don't feel me now

For some we were sure somehow

Love don't

For you my love

For some we were sure somehow

For you I love

If this is all you need

My words are clear

For you my love

For you I'd give up everything

For you I'd give

For you I have

O ve Bandeya

Tereya junoon da

O ve Bandeya, man di hai hook ha

O ve Bandeya

Tereya junoon da

O ve Bandeya, man di hai hook ha

Mukhte na nazare, haale ek pal baaki

Ik gal guzreya, duja kal baaki

Supna ae sach hai

Mitthi jahi khap hai

Na hun ruki

Oh Bandeya

Na hun ruki

Oh Bandeya
