Lying Anyway Lyrics English Translation | PREM DHILLON

Bol kandeyan de hikk naal laale

[I embraced the harsh words (thorns) to my chest]

Baat fullan di vichaari hi nahi

[I never even considered the flowers (good things)]

Ucche surjan nu manni baithe apna

[I considered the high suns as my own]

Nigah deevean te maari hi nahi

[I never even glanced at the small lamps]

Assi sacchian na rusde rahe

[I kept getting upset with the truthful ones]

Ve jhoothe nu manaa baithe aan

[And I ended up appeasing the liar]

Ho gaya savera, taareyan nu ginde te assi

[It has become morning while I was counting stars]

Chan hi gawa baithe aan

[And I have lost the moon]

Ho gaya savera, taareyan nu ginde te assi

[It has become morning while I was counting stars]

Chan hi gawa baithe aan

[And I have lost the moon]

Chaawan vich baithiyaan nu, parchhawan bhull jande ne

[Those sitting in the shade forget the shadows]

Sar janda bahutean da, par taanve rull jande ne

[Many manage to get by, but a few get ruined]

Gallan hi ne vekhna, pyartod vanga ve

[It's just talk to see, love breaks like bangles]

Hun chhad de aa paune, suit goorhe ranga de

[Now I have stopped wearing bright colored suits]

Dil tuttna to maada, hunda ki sohneya

[What can be worse than a heart breaking, handsome?]

Hunda pyar vich tutt jaane chaa

[It is the shattering of desires in love]

Chan je gawa leya, yi koyi gal nai ve layi

[If I lost the moon, it's no big deal]

Taareyan nu tuttanon bacha

[Just save the stars from breaking]

Chan je gawa leya, yi koyi gal nai ve layi

[If I lost the moon, it's no big deal]

Taareyan nu tuttanon bacha

[Just save the stars from breaking]

Saanu sajjan na labhe kitte, dil di sarah chon

[I couldn't find my beloved anywhere in the inn of my heart]

Sukhan khair diyan sukhiyan, phir mudke daran chon

[I prayed for well-being, again turning back from the doors]

Kihnu dasde pyar assi, kihnu wafa likhde

[To whom should I tell about love, for whom should I write loyalty?]

Phullan baagiyan de hattho, vekhe phull assi vikde

[I saw flowers being sold by the hands of gardeners]

Baith pathraan ko jo bhi suniyan

[Whatever I heard sitting near the stones]

Aun sheeshe nu suna baithe aan

[I have come and told it to the mirror]

Ho gaya savera, taareyan nu ginde te assi

[It has become morning while I was counting stars]

Chan hi gawa baithe aan

[And I have lost the moon]

Ho gaya savera, taareyan nu ginde te assi

[It has become morning while I was counting stars]

Chan hi gawa baithe aan

[And I have lost the moon]

Jihde baaron maar lende, assi andran de utte

[Those who kill from outside, we are killed from within]

Din dasde je hunde, calendaran de utte

[If the days could tell on the calendars]

Bas chalda je hunda, lende badal zaroor

[If it was in my control, I would have definitely changed it]

Leekan hath diyan hundiyan je, hath ch hazoor

[If the lines of the hand were in my hand, my lord]

Kinjh lagda ve akh laggi nu

[How does it feel to the eye that fell in love?]

Assi nazraan lawa baithe aan

[We have got the evil eye cast on us]
