Wondering if anyone can help me out:

Would really appreciate a translation of the following:

Kavita from 0:43-1:03
and
Bhangra boliyan from 2:30-2:59

nice vid..

the part that you refer to as "kavita" is usually, more specifically referred to as a sher. The meaning of the one in the video is religious.

Tere khande ne jinna de moo morey
Whomsoever your sword scared away
Aj Pher sanoo lalkardey ne
Have come back, calling us out
Oh Vaajan-waliye, Vaaj nu bhej mudke
Vaajan waliye (name for Guru Gobind Singh ji, because he had a hawk), send back your hawk
edit: Titry pher udariyan mardey ne.

It evokes a religious sort of battle.

The second boli: Its exact translation is a bit hard but its basically talking about Gabroos coming together and later on acting rowdy (balunde bakre and stuff).

thanks bro...

i thought the sher was the part that was spoken (or yelled). wasnt sure if this was labeled as a sher or just boliyan since it was sung. thanks

what was the translation for udariyan?

Literal meaning is flying, but in this Shaer it means they're acting up again.

Sorry to hijack the thread but could anyone translate this other sher for me?

one thing i don't get is why teams do religious shers or speeches before their performances. What is the significance? Are you leading some sort of religious cult that you have to shout at the top of your lungs that this is what happened in your history? Half of you guys don't even know what the hell these shers and speeches mean. Why not just stick shers and speeches about punjab and how beautiful our culture is? Or how beautiful the artform is that we're about to perform. We are a generation that didn't grow up in India. I see a lot of amateur teams shouting jakara's and doing sher's about Guru Gobind Singh Ji or other Shaheed. Why do teams feel the need to copy teams in Punjab. Do any of you even know why teams in Punjab do these shers and speeches?

I can't really answer your question, but sometimes shers like those just give dancers a certain type of hype or "josh." It changes the whole feel of the actual performance, hearing those words before u dance just changes the outlook and atmosphere ... just my opinion.

dhadh tumbi tee dhol sadi shaan yaaro - Dhadh Tumbi and Dhol are our pride/honor
tee bhangre vich hai sadi jaan yaaro - Bhangra is our life
dhuaan chadra pochveen pagg sohni - Our "chadra" and perfectly tied turban looks beautiful
teh sohni pagg de utte sanoo maan yaaro - And we are proud of our beautiful turban

panja paniyaan toon baneya punjab sada - Punjab is made of five rivers
panja paniyaan toon baneya punjab sada
punjabi hoon de utte sanoo maan yaaro - We are proud to be Punjabis
punjabi hoon de utte sanoo maan yaaro


does anyone know the exact meaning of "dhuaan chadra"?- i thinks its perfectly tied chadra but not sure

I kno exactly what you're saying, and quite honestly i LOVEE hearing those speeches and shers, don't get me wrong, but you have to use them in the right context.

its not a hawk

its a falcon, white falcons were rare so it was a prominent part of his figure
apparently Guru Gobind Singh was called Chittay Bajjan Waleya
meaning master of the white falcon
