One of the most hard hitting songs on this whole record, Bijlee, (meaning electricity, used to refer to the electric female protagonist of the song) tells a heart breaking tale of a tenacious working class girl who seems perfect at a glance but is fighting on multiple fronts by shouldering all sorts...
[Intro]
Yeah!
[Verse 1]
Sohni ho gayi jawan
Par aje vi 16 saal di lage nadaan
Ohnu anjaan shehar ‘ch firray
Jiven shehar ‘ch ohdi
Sareya de naal jaan-pehchaan
Mappeya nu le ke deve gift
Sahelian nu le ke jaaye bar
Sohni tikke na ghar
Ve roz hove tyaar
Ve jadon di ohne khareed laayi car
Ohdi saheliyan di mauj laggi
Naale jadon di sohniye di job laggi
Hun oh vi, sareya da rakhe khayaal
Ve bhaven oh ton koi kadi
Ohda puchhe na haal
Ohnu eh sara kuj farz lage
Naale hun ohde te credit card te karz lage
Hun chupaye sareyan ton bill
Sohni kisi nu na dasse ohda ehna vadda dil
[Hook (x2)]
Ni tu bijlee di nangi taar
Naale tenu chhuna ve gunah
Ve main dil nu dasseya kinni baar
Sohni tenu chhuna ve gunah
[Verse 2]
Club ‘ch paake aayi black dress
Haan de munde tenu karan stress
Nachay kurhiyan de naal
Naal naal jehdi teri best friends
Kehndi: "Boys make no sense."
Par jadon best friends de aa gaye boyfriends
Hun oh bina kitay sawaal
Nachan mundeya de naal
Ohna nu tera ni khayaal
Tenu bherha laggay
Jagg tenu teri samajh ton hun gaira laggay
Din kisi dukhi geet da hun pehra laggay
Hun club de bar, tu kudiyan nu labhay
Jive police da pehra laggay
Phir gusse ‘ch tu kar leya change plan
Ve kehndi ehna vangu mein vi labhlangi boyfriend
Sohniye ne gaddi kitti park
Wapas aa ke club nachan laggi mundeya de naal!
[Hook (x2)]
Ni tu bijlee di nangi taar
Naale tenu chhuna ve gunah
Ve main dil nu dasseya kinni baar
Sohni tenu chhuna ve gunah
[Verse 3]
Hun kehlo, bigarh gayi ya haar gayi
Par dance floor ton pehla sidhi bar gayi
Ohne bar ‘ch jaakay
Jadon bartender ton mangeya ik shot
Ohdi ik munde te nigah payi
Shots p k bhul gayi loka de iraaday
Shots p k munday lagan lagay sidhay-sadhay
Munday nay ohday vall aa k pucheya
Ve dass sohniye ni aaya tere naal koi?
Naalay das mainu tenu bol de ki pyaar naal
Kehndi nick name mera "bijlee di nangi taar"
Oh kehnda nice to meet you ni sohniye
Bai ek hor shot ho jaye maray naal
Ya zyada daru pila ke
Ya daru ‘ch kujh mila ke
Munda bijlee nu le gaya
Naal gaddi ‘ch baitha ke
Hun 3 saal ho gaye
Ohda koi ata pata nahi
Eh sareya di khata
Ya kise di vi khata nahi
[Hook (x2)]
Ni tu bijlee di nangi taar
Naale tenu chhuna ve gunah
Ve main dil nu dasseya kinni baar
Sohni tenu chhuna ve gunah
