[English]

Oh stop!

Boy you know, I seen her on your phone.

You been creeping round on the low.

And now your tryna act like you don’t know,

Oh

Oh

I don't need your money,

I don’t need no ones paper.

All around the world you know,

Yeh we moving it major.

I don’t play around,

No, I don’t **** with no hater,

**** with no traitor,

So boy later!

You will never change,

Yeah, you just like the rest boy.

I don’t need your money,

Got me plenty in the bank boy.

Don’t even say your sorry,

When you stabbed me in the back tho.

Better go pronto.

(BETTER GO PRONTO!)

(BETTER GO PRONTO!)

(BET, BETTER GO PRONTO!)

Tu neh, (You, did)

Dhokha diya, dhokha mujhe saree, (me wrong so many times)

Naklee jo ker ke, ishare. (With all your signals.)

Tuj pe toh dil hum haree, sun leh, (My hear it fell for you.)

Sun, dewaana koi honna mere verga, (Listen, you will never find a lover like me,)

Jithe dil kare, menu lena aazma. (Whenever, your heart desire, test me.)

Aashiq alag thora duniya toh vakhra, (My love is unique in the world,)

Eh v kabul teri kaatil adaa, (I even accept you attitude,)

Lagdi kali kali raath da tara, (You look shiny like a star,)

Tere utha sab kuch apna mein vaaran, (I just want to give you everything I have,)

Kina tareefan ker hor das yaara, (How many more compliments shall I do, jsut tell me,)

Better go pronto.

(BETTER GO PRONTO!)

(BETTER GO PRONTO!)

(BET, BETTER GO PRONTO!)

Mera dil todke todke ja na, (Don't break my heart and leave,)

Kyun duri ka dhunde bahana, (Why find a excuse to be away from me,)

Pher waqt ye vapis ni anaa, (This time won't come back)

Classy bari lagdi tu, jive hain Madonna, (Look classy like Madonna,)

Akhan uthe jachda, Dolce & Gabbana, (Dolce & Gabanna sunglass suits you,)

Khen de tenu queen, tu kardi eh drama, (They call you a queen, but all you do is act up,)

Tere bina dil menu lagdi nahe, (My heart isn't the same without you,)

Tere mere vich menu chahida no other, (I don't want no one between us,)

Meri gal sun, bus ker na dobara.) (Listen, don't let it happen again.)

Tere bina zindigi vich, baby I don't want it. (Living without you, baby I don't want it.)

Better go pronto.

(BETTER GO PRONTO)

(BETTER GO PRONTO)

(BET, BETTER GO PRONTO)

Classy bari lagdi tu, jive hain Madonna, (Look classy like Madonna,)

Akhan uthe jachda, Dolce & Gabbana, (Dolce & Gabanna sunglass suits you,)

Khen de tenu queen, tu kardi eh drama, (They call you a queen, but all you do is act up,)

Tere bina dil menu lagdi nahe, (My heart isn't the same without you,)

You will never change,

Yeah, you just like the rest boy.

You be running game, because i know you tryna test me,

Even saying sorry, after you been disrespectful.

Baki teri marzi, maaney chahey na. (It's your choice whether you listen or not.)

Tere mere vich menu chahida no other, (I don't want no one between us,)

(Meri gal sun, bus ker na dobara.) (Listen, don't let it happen again.)

Tere bina zindigi vich, baby I don't want it. (Living without you, baby I don't want it.)

(I don't want it)
