NSPA: PATANGA | PRATYUL JOSHI - street performer/Indian folk music video free download

Lyrics and its literal translation below

Song is in haryanvi

Ib k puchhe Ib k jaane ( now what do you ask /want to know )

jindadi re ghaagh se ( life cheated you like a clever fox )

peechhe chhute jaane tujhe jo ( long gone are those who knew the real you )

Mann chamakti cheej dekh k ( your mind got attracted to comforts of life)

khich gayo kis aag me ( not realising its a bowl of fire )

peechhe chhute jaane tujhe jo ( long gone are those who knew the real you )

Oh baawre ( Oh naive one! )

sab chamak dhamak hai dhoke re ( all that glitters isnt gold )

oh baawre!

sab lapat kapat ka chhaunka re ( its all served to you in tadka of greed and sparkling life )

Patanga.. ( the moth )

Tu jal hi gayo ghana roka re ( Inspite of all warnings,you got burnt by going too near to the

bright lamp) X 2

tere gaanv ki mitti phir bulave re ( your simple life at home/memories of loved ones still haunt

you)

Jee lubhave paas bulaave ( entices your heart and entraps you )

Maya kaala naag re ( money is one such snake )

das gayi re kuch bhi sujhe na ( Bitten by it,the addiction leaves no choice )

Chandi ki hathkadi jo pehni ( handcuffs though made of silver )

ban gayi durbhaag re ( are now cause of your unhappiness )

fas gayo tu kuch bhi sujhe na ( yet you can't break free from the shackles )

Oh baawre

sab chamak dhamak hai dhoka re

oh baawre

yo maya hava ka jhonka re ( wealth is as temporary as a breeze )

Patanga...

Ankha ne moondhe hue ( In a blind race )

andho so chadhto gayo ( you climbed the ladder of success )

Peechhe sab chhod gayo ( and left behind the goodness in you )

Oh re behrupiya ( oh Imposter/actor )

Oh re bairi piya ( oH my long lost lover )

sab kuch gava k tune

ye kya hai paa liya ( what have you earned ,after losing most important things in life )

Oh re behrupiya

khud ko kyun chhal gaya ( oh imposter,why did you cheat your own self )

Khela ye kaisa anokha re ( what an amazing game of life you played ...)

Patanga

patanga

patanga

sun sun le abhi ai mauka re ( stop and listen now when there is a chance )

sab chamak dhamak hai dhoka re ( all the comforts and sparkles of life are a lie )

Tere gaanv ki mitti phir bulaave re...

Patanga ( the moth ) ,The flying insect getting attracted towards bright light uncontrollably and then getting burnt when it touches it.

Metaphor apt for us too ,with our blind chase for materialistic needs.
