Re: Bakre Balaunde?

Shan-e-Punjab is also the name of a train in Punjab, which may be where they got the team name from.

And all the above translations seem right.

it just means roars like kinnell said....LSD bhangra is "roar of the lions: lalkare sheran de". it does not mean challenge
hmmm okay well I turned next to my masi and asked her and she said it literally means challenge...so I take that it could extend to mean many things and roar is a form of that...

challenge (which is in the form of a roar) of the lion = lalkare sheraan de. makes sense :) ......and for house cats, their "challenge" comes in the form of a meow

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

in furr the verses are basically him talking about what happened with each girl.

the chorus:

pehli uddi furrrrr
doogi uddi fuurrrr
theegi uddi furrr
laage kaley furrr

the "furrrr" sound is the sound a bird makes; bird meaning girl kinda like how some people say chick.
the chorus is just saying the first one left, second one left, the third one left, and now he's by himself.

Furr is the sound of the bird's flapping wings.

Anakh is the pride of your soul or spirit. so instead of like taking pride in your belongings, so not like ur taking pride in the car u drive, or ur phone, instead its like taking pride in who you are, your background, your culture. definly not being cocky.

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?

Much appreciated.

A few more that I really need to truly understand. I don't forget you guys helping me out, this really helps me a lot. ;)

Here are some song titles (and by some, I mean a lot_, but I've never figured out what they mean:

Gehre
Nachna Onda Ni
What does the main lines in Char Panj mean? Char Panj is 4 5, right? What are Nirmal and Ms. Pooja singing about?
Naseebo
Chanday
Suhe Suhe
Doriya
Bagge Bagge
Does Bas Kar mean Stop?
Boli Pani? My hindi/gujju translation is getting "Speaking Water". I dont think that's right.
Dhulla
Hawawaan - Does this have to do with wind?
Shera Dhi Korm
Shera Vargi Jaan... I cant figure out Vargi...
Main line of Phattey Chak De (one of my favs) but I dont remember how it goes.

Thanks again guys. You rock. :)

Nachna ounda ni = Doesn't know how to dance.
Char Panj song = I think it's like Nirmal has 4-5 girlfriends
Naseebo = lady
Chanday = flag
Suhe Suhe = dark dark
Doriya = there are lots of meanings for this, it can mean something in the hair.. write down a line from the song
Bagge Bagge = ran away
Bas kar = Stop it
Boli Pani = Water spoke
Dhulla =
Hawaan = Wind
Shera di Korm = Like same caste as a tiger
Shera vargi jaan = strength like a tiger
Phattey chack den gi ni hege sukh naal mitran de yaar baade = I think it means, don't worry if I get in trouble I have lots of friends.. something on the line of that.

May not all be right :)

I thought it was Boli Pauni Peniyeh....like je nachne mitra naal ta boli pauni peniyeh

It has something to do with dancing with your friends I think.
