Sorat Lyrics English Translation – Emiway Bantai

SADAK
[STREET]

Badi manzil ka musafir,
[A traveler on a big journey,]
dil chhota nahi rakhte
[I don’t keep a small heart]
Life zaroorat nahi hai chhote,
[Life isn’t a necessity, kid,]
chalna nahi hai lappe mein
[I don’t get caught up in things]
Mere jaisa banna chaah rahe par tu
[You want to be like me but you]
nahi hai mera bhai
[are not my brother]
Thoda mehnat, thoda planning, baaki
[A little hard work, a little planning, the rest]
chhodha maine Rab pe
[I left to God]

Tere maut ka janaza uthayenge
[Your funeral bier will be lifted by]
chaar kandhe
[four shoulders]
Jab tu zinda life mein uthane
[When you’re alive, to lift you up in life]
aayenge kya woh chaar bande?
[will those four people come?]
Waar denge kamzor ko, kaam karo,
[They’ll attack the weak, do your work,]
kam socho
[think less]
Kisi pe nahi nirbhar, matlab Tamil
[Not dependent on anyone, which means]
mein haan sandhosham
[yes, happiness in Tamil]

Khushi khushi kya hai, kisne yahan
[What is happiness, who here has]
mehsoos kiya
[felt it?]
Usi khushi ko bechne gareeb ko bas
[To sell that same happiness, the poor were just]
use kiya
[used]
Kanjoosiya dikhate jab baat aati
[They show stinginess when it comes to]
madad ki
[helping]
Sambhaala zameer maine jab paise
[I controlled my conscience when there was]
ki tadap thi
[a craving for money]

Afsos nahi corrupt thi jab shiksha tu
[No regrets, it was corrupt when your education was]
sadak thi
[the street]
Kaise khareedega paise se
[How will you buy progress with]
tarakki?
[money?]
Baatein hai tarakki, bheje ki sarak thi
[These are talks of progress, the mind was slipping]
Pratiksha ko rickshaw aur taxi mein
[Keep the waiting in rickshaws and taxis]
surakshit
[safe]

Rakhna apna kaam aise, taan khule
[Keep your work like this, chest out in the]
aam hai
[open]
Mard bana dard aurat ke liye yeh aam
[Pain made a man, for a woman this is common]
hai
[is]
Bola tha na gaane se sab badal
[Didn’t I say I’d change everything with my songs,]
dunga, maa main
[mother?]
Fakir nikla rap karne pahuncha
[A fakir came out to rap, look where]
dekh kahan main
[I’ve reached]

Log vaar karte chhup ke se, jaaun
[People attack secretly, how can I]
main ab ruk kaise
[stop now?]
Thook dega sab ko toh milega tujhe
[If you spit on everyone, how will you get]
sukh kaise
[happiness?]
Chhutte se bana main idhar note
[From loose change, I became a man with notes]

Bakro ko kasai ab bulate mujhe
[The butcher now calls the goats to me,]
goat wala
[the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)]

G.O.A.T. wala…
[The G.O.A.T. one…]
Maine bola ‘ek kamra, chaar
[I said ‘one room, four]
parivaar’
[families’]
Banta hai sadko pe tehvaar, rone
[Festivals are made on the streets, people come out to cry]
nikle ghar se baahar
[from their homes]
Naya har din wahi haal, wahi pudi
[Every new day, the same situation, the same stuff from the]
wala maal
[pouch]
Wahi kheench-kheench ke,
[The same, pulling and pulling,]
kheench-kheench ke guzar raha hai
[pulling and pulling, the year is passing]
saal
[by]

Kaamyab hone tadap chahiye,
[To be successful, you need craving,]
dilli ya barf chahiye
[whether it’s Delhi or snow (drugs)]
Shyaana bhejha magaj chahiye, hausla
[You need a sharp mind, strong]
kadak aur prayaas tujhe karna nahi
[courage, and you don’t want to make an effort]
hai
[is]
Life bhi saras thi hai, ghar pe nahi
[Life is also great, there’s no food]

chahiye
[is needed]

#Sadak, main bola tabse sabko sadak
[#Sadak (Street), since I said it, everyone wants the street]
chahiye
[is needed]
Sabko jo mila woh nahi, lala humko
[Not what everyone got, dude, we want]
alag chahiye
[something different]
Raasta yahi tha mera, nikla wahan
[This was my path, I came out from]
se guzar ke
[passing through there]
Nikhar ke kaise aayega, baitha hai tu
[How will you shine, you are sitting there]
bigad ke
[spoiled]

Sudharna apna kaam, hai shaitaan
[To improve is our job, the devil is]
khule aam hai
[out in the open]
Mehnat pe rehmat hai, woh karta
[Blessings are on hard work, he makes]
intezaam hai
[the arrangements]
Bola tha na gaane se sab badal
[Didn’t I say I’d change everything with my songs,]
dunga, maa main
