Challa

Lyrics/ English translation:


Chhalla vas nahi oo mere |The ring it listens to no one
Chhalla vas meri maan de |The ring it listens only to my mom
Ghallegi tan jange |It will leave only if she tell it to
Ve gall sun chhallia |Listen my love
Khaure keeta kis is ‘te toona |Don’t know who’s done this voodoo

Chhalla aa pia khuh ‘te |The ring it lies on the well
Gallan karie munh ‘te |Let’s talk face to face
Ve gall sun chhallia |Listen my love
Sanu vekhan nu tera ji ni karda |Don’t you wanna see me sometime
Tainu vekhe bina mera ni sarda |It’s hard for me not to see you

Chhalla bambi da paani |The ring a borewell’s water
Kithhey veh gaye ne jaani |Where has my love drifted to
Asan khabar ko na jaani |I have no news
Ve gall sun chhallia |Listen my love
Teri beri ik uggia ey kanda |On your berry has grown a thorn

Chhalla ambian kachian |The ring unripe mangoes
Mattan de koi sachian |Someone give me sage advices
Laiey lekhe jo bachian |Let’s commit to contemplation
Terian merian gharian |What’s left of time yours and mine
Ve gall sun chhallia |Listen my love
Langh javan ain na umran khaali |Or our lives will go waste

Chhalla gut ik lammi |The ring a long braid
Asan supne chummi |I kissed it in my dream
Hoi neeyat si anni |The desire had gone blind
Asan dil di si manni |But I listened to my heart
Ve gall sun chhallia |Listen my love
Hun de lai jehrhi deni ey sazaa |Now punish me as you will

Chhalla boharh ik ‘kalla |The ring a lone banyan
Unhe farhia ey palla |He holds on to the
Thalle dharat utte Allah |Earth below and God above
Ve gall sun chhallia |Listen my love
Khaure jandian kinni dunghian jarhan |How far run his roots
Es gall da os khud nu nahi pata |He knows not himself
