Re: Kashni?

Really interesting answers and informative stuff...

What does "Kashni" mean? As in nee ik meri akh kaashni? Is that the color of someone's eye?

I think it means someone with nice eyes.

like kashni dupatte valiye
or ni ek teri akh kashni

(i think its green but im not sure)

bagga means something fair and white. so baggey baggey is referring to something fair.

 

[Kanvar]

in the song naseebo the word naseebo is the name of the girl.

so the 2 lines right before the chorus and then the chorus are basically saying:

with a sling [ galaal ] shot he hits it ( it being the pot that she uses to carry water)
laughing laughing (hasdee hasdee)
naseebo's pot breaks [ ghara toteya naseebo da]
but it (like the shards of the pot) missed her feet [paira thak ah bihjgee paira thak ah bihjgee]

sorry for my bad punjabi words written in english

 

[Saleem]

What would be the specific translation/connotation of 'majajne'... I've heard from youthful (in a female sense) to 'curvaceous' women lol thnx

everything is right up till the last line [paira thak pijhgee paira thak pijhgee]
it means that the water from the broken pot has drenched her whole body (up to her feet).

if i am not mistaken, majajne is a term used to address/refer to a woman. Majaj is a pind, and a lot of people throw on their pind as their "last name" instead of repping their caste (i.e. hussainpuri, bindrakhia, etc). i think the term majajne sort of morphed from meaning "from majaj" into "beautiful/mysterious woman"

anyone know the proper trans of chan jeha?

 

[Dholaholic]

majajane=damsel

 

[COMTONDAJATT]

anyone know the proper trans of chan jeha?

chan = moon
jeha = like

so like the moon

i think so atleast.

Well i think majajne comes from the word mijaz, added punjab accent mijaj= Style

 

[Kanvar]

i was pretty sure it was saying that the water missed her feet.

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

loll this post made me chuckle..........bakre balounde basically means BRUAHHHHHH........it shows a youthful jubilation in the farmer's son's activities during auspicious events.

Thanks buddy....since we have the topic going...what do these following phrases mean:

1) GhainTe walla
2) Jeere walla (someone who sells Cumin seeds?)

that was too cute!!! "someone who sell cumin seeds!!! "

I think its spelled "kanthe wala". Isn't that the little black stringed necklace with the gold/silver thing in the middle. I just think of the song kanthe wala puche tere naa... I'm not sure though..

 

[ban3rg]

yea kainthe-wala is "the one with a kaintha" or the gold necklace. Kaintha is the bigger one which hangs lower and has like a circular or heart-shaped pendant.

taveet is a short necklace, more like a choker, tigher around the neck with a rectangular/cylindrical pendant.

it isn't jeera wala its cheere waaliya - i've heard different definitions of this but i think it has to do with "he who has a nice pagh or nice larrs (layers) in his pagh or something," maybe something to do with color red?

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

anakh = pride but a bit more like a cocky pride (as opposed to honor-type pride), hard to describe lol, can someone help

its the other way around. Anakh is an honour type pride. Not cocky at all haha

ANakh Tohar hondi ahh
its pride like pride/confidence anything along those borders

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

Oh yeah, what does Pehchaan Apni Nachdi Jandi mean?

P.S. I hope I got the full team name right =D

In punjabi is makes more sense then in english. Pechaan means 'identity' nachdi jandi ' dancing past you'. We take it as ' look at our identity as it dances by'. b/c we define ourselves in the way we move on stage and present ourselves as a bhangra team.
