[English]

Hogea recording

Start hogea (Start hogea, start hogea)

Ik do gallan karnia si

Thodi zindagi vaste theek rehnrgia

Kiu ke meri zindagi ch main eh chizaan sikhian

Te thonu dasrian mera farz ae

So better you take notes

Bahot kam aun alia gallan

I-i-Its JayB

Oo saada Sidhu eh Sidhu oh lagda

Pehlan mere baare thonu bhai kehnrge

Fer kehna oh ta bas saade sir te

Fer mere saale oh burayi kehnrge

Oh parkh ke dekhi ae aukaat sab di

Saal hoya main ta faahe vadde hoye ne

Oh 2-3 jhooth ne bula na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Aye)

Nau mera sun nede la na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Hayee)

Oo bohat ditti ijjat si raas ni aayi

Alle palle kakh ni hankare hoye ne

Ehna piche firo na tadaunde gaddiyaa'n

Main vi att Fortuner cho'n taare hoye ne

Ho saar lo je ehna bajho'n saar sakde

Kise bina khade kado gadde hoye ne

Oh 2-3 jhooth ne bula na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Aye)

Nau mera sun nede la na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Hayee)

Oo rakheo na vehm thoda saath denrge

Jinna de jameer bhaande khali varge

Jihda chitt kare piche paa ke le jave

Eh bande sarpanch'an di taralli varge

Oo dogle di jeebh haini pair jhooth de

Raat de vapari subha ladde hoye ne

Oh 2-3 jhooth ne bula na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Aye)

Nau mera sun nede la na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Hayee)

Oo kayi kalakaar'an ne threat bhejea

Dirbe ch laaye ik show karke

Badea ne jor laaya saahn sittra'n

Dabbea ni putt piche peyo karke

Oo bina kayi sakeeri mere chache banrge

Assi kehda card pa ke sadde hoye ne

Oh 2-3 jhooth ne bula na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Aye)

Nau mera sun nede la na leyo

Pehli kehna mitran ne chadde hoye ne (Hayee)

Who knows what the fuck is going on bitch!

Uhh
