lyrics translation

hey guys...

i was wondering if somebody could translate the song beedi from omkaara into english...i love the song but i have no clue what it means...if somebody could help me out i would be extremely grateful...thanks..

diyaa😊😛😃

its hard to translate tht song i wundt kno either coz m nuh good wid hindi sorry 😃

it doesn't sound too good literally translated but i'll give it a go 😆

Na ghilaaf, Na lihaaf,
Thandi hawa bhi khilaaf sasuri

no quilt, no quilt cover, even the darn cool breeze is against u

O itni sardi hai kisika lihaaf lehi leh,
O jaa padosi ke chulhe se aag lehi leh

it's so cold- take someone's quilt, go take some heat from the neighbour's stove

Beedi jalayile jigar se piya,
Jigar maa badi aag hai

light your cigar with the heat of my body, there is a lot of heat in my body 😕 (jigar doesnt actually mean body but this is the best sense i could make of it... although it really still doesnt make sense! 😆 )

Dhuan na nikari o lab se piya aah aa,
Dhuan na nikari o lab se piya,
Yeh duniya badi thaag hai


don't exhale smoke through your lips, this world is very deceptive

😕 😕 😕 ... what a strange song!... i dont usually like songs with such lyrics but i really love this song for some reason!... hope the lyrics dont put u off the song 😆

Excellent translation BQ. 😆

that is Gulzar after all.....but definitely not his weirdest lyrics ......it adds spice to the song.......

good use of hindi/Urdu words to give a different kind of impact.....

Gulzar is good.....and you have done a good translation.

What a garam sard song.. 😆 😆 😆

excellent translation rani 👏 ...wonder if pawni understood what she was singing..abhijeet ko tho samajh nahin aaya..atleast that is what he said.. 😆
