Badmashi Lyrics (English Translation) - Mankirt Aulakh

Mere Number Te Likh Sarpanchi Kita Save Ohne
He saved my contact with the title ‘Sarpanch’ (village leader).

Rohab Rakhda Jatt, Ni Janaab Warga
This Jatt carries attitude, not like a respectful gentleman.

Main Mehak Chhad Di Pakki, Chh Kadde Gudd Naal Di
I naturally carry fragrance, not from any perfume stick.

Oh Gudd Nallo Mithi, Koyi Mithaas Warga
She’s sweeter than jaggery, like pure sweetness.

Meri Akh Jinni Khanda Subah Chaa De Naal Ni
My eyes consume more sugar than morning tea.

Mere Naina Naal Hi Challe, Challe Chaa De Naal Ni
With my gaze itself, the tea becomes more flavorful.

Kodd Tumbe Di Jubaan, Ohdi Gal Wakhri
Her tongue is as sharp as a raw bitter gourd, her words are different.

Meinu Baithyaan Ragaan Chh Aakhe Kaju Katli
Just sitting idle, she calls me ‘cashew sweet’—luxurious and rich.

Banne Kiliyaan Naal Kiliyaan De Mul De Ne
Some relationships are like thorns; they hurt despite looking the same.

Ohna Bai Ke Tarr Gaye, Te Khae Ke Rul Gaye Ne
They were deceived by appearances and ended up suffering.

Oh Naina Naal Lainda Mere Dil Di Talashi
With just his eyes, he searches deep into my heart.

Dine Veham Chakda Te Shaam Nu Glassi
He picks up doubts in the day and a drink in the evening.

Ikko Aib Maada, Baki Sab Aa Classy
Only one bad habit, otherwise he’s all classy.

Aape Panj Path Sukh Ke
Panj Path Sukh Ke Chhada Lu Badmashi (Repeated x3)
He himself read all five holy scriptures (symbolizing reformation).
After reading them, he gave up his bad-boy ways.

Jhaka Gabru Da Aldan Te Ho Jaaye Ehsaan
When a handsome guy appears, it feels like a blessing.

Deed Jatti Di, Jihde Layi Aftaab Ho Jaawe
A glimpse of the girl is so radiant, even the sun feels dim.

Kuj Bande Taan Group Vich Aidaa Di Vi Ne
Some guys are in groups just for show.

Je Photo Ohna Naal Pai Jaawe, Vivaad Ho Jaawe
If someone takes a picture with them, it causes controversy.

Akh Paarkhu Harek Naal Naa Jaam Lagda
He doesn’t toast drinks with just anyone; he’s observant.

Vailiyan Di Jann Lai Ke Turda Saddam Lagda
He walks like Saddam Hussein, to show off in front of jobless guys.

Aise Lekh Ke Lihaaj, Fire Kadd Da Harek
He carries respect like a weapon, fires off with decency.

Kuj Maa Ne Sohna Jaaya, Taur Vekh Utte Vekh
Some mothers gave birth to charm—just look at their style.

Kam Addiyan Layi Karda Aa, Charcheyan Lai Nai
He works for real goals, not for the sake of gossip or fame.

Paily Parcheyan Lai Saambhi Hoyi Aa, Kharcheyan Lai Nai
He keeps money saved for cases, not for unnecessary spending.

Kuj Dil Saaf Naal, Kuj Bande Ne Siyaasi
Some people are pure-hearted, others are political players.

Ohdi Baraan Vichon Teervin Hi Vailpuna Raashi
Out of 12 traits, 13 are full of swagger and boldness.

Ikko Aib Maada, Baki Sab Aa Classy
Only one flaw, otherwise totally classy.

Aape Panj Path Sukh Ke
Panj Path Sukh Ke Chhada Lu Badmashi (Repeated x2)
He read all five sacred scriptures by himself.
And after that, he gave up his mischief-making ways.

Ohh Yaada Yaada Yaada, Yaada Yaada Yaada
Oh memories, memories, memories…

Ki Fire Bina Gun Sohniye, Te Vail Bina Jatt Tera Kaada
What’s a gun without fire, beautiful? And what’s your Jatt without swagger?

Fire Bina Gun Sohniye, Te Vail Bina Jatt Tera Kaada
A gun without fire is useless, just like a Jatt without attitude.

Oh Chees Paun Sohniye, Jhreeta Honiyan
To wear certain things, girl, one needs to be real and bold.

Jaan Kadd Lain, Aidaa Da Koi Cheer Thodi Ae
He’s the kind who can take your breath away — not someone to mess with.

Bhaawe Itt Putte Kalakaar Milde Punjab Chho
Even if you find thousands of artists from Punjab,

Ni Har Ikk Sohniye, Vseer Thodi Ae
Not every one of them is worthy, beautiful — not everyone has value.

Ho Aaja Addiyan Ton, Pabban Utte Ho Jaa Asmani
Step down from your high heels, and come walk on clouds with me.

Bhabhi Aakhde Ne Jadon Ohde Jees Aake Ni
Sisters-in-law call him brother-in-law when they see his charm.

Wardrobe Vich Vann Toh Swanni Aa Dress
She has more elegant dresses than colors in her wardrobe.

Par Milda Sukoon Ohdi Tees Paa Ke Ni
But peace is found only when she wears his T-shirt.

Khabaan Chh Rehnda Ae, Duja Khabran Chh Ni
He lives in dreams, not in news or headlines.

Mere Sabran Te Lokan Diyan Nazraan Chh Ni
No one sees the patience I carry within me.

Oh Gal DGP-DIG Di Keraan Maud De
He talks in terms of high authority ranks like DGP or DIG.

Par Mainu Kise Gal Ton Vi Dinda Nai Jawaab
But he never gives me answers to what I really ask.

Matton Putheyan Nu Sidha Laa De Turan Jehda
He walks in a way that straightens out even the crooked ones.

Puthe Gearaan Aangu Putha Rakhda Hisaab
He deals with twisted situations like shifting into reverse gear — precise and calculated.

Oh Java De Engine Jinni Heat Chhad Da
He gives off as much heat as a running engine.

Main Cooling Aa, Laat Marde Hoye Jatt Da
And I’m the cooling effect — the calm to his fierce Jatt energy.

Hundi Sajri Vihaayi Wangu Lishkdi Chessy
She shines bright like a newlywed in her dressy outfit.

Gaddi Chh Glock Dekh Darr Gayi Si Maasi
When auntie saw the Glock in the car, she got scared.

Ikko Aib Maada, Baki Sab Aa Classy
Only one flaw, everything else is classy.

Ikko Aib Maada, Baki Sab Aa Classy
Just one weakness — otherwise, top-class in every way.

Aape Panj Path Sukh Ke
He read all five holy scriptures on his own.

Panj Path Sukh Ke Chhada Loon Badmashi
And after doing so, he left his bad habits behind.

Aape Panj Path Sukh Ke
Panj Path Sukh Ke Chhada Lu Badmashi (Repeated x3)
Yes, he read the sacred texts himself…
And gave up the lifestyle of a troublemaker.
