Waris Punjab De? (Walrus of Punjab? haha i had to, I just randomly thought of it)
Heeray? (Diamonds?)
Hmm...i'm no punjabi expert by any means, but ill try to figure some of these out...

first of all, i thought the "bakre bulaunde" part was sumthing more along the lines of "having fun" or "making jokes"...something joyful/'social...along those lines...help, anyone?

Sonay in SGPD= beautiful/handsome
Rooh= "Soul, spirit, essence, scent, life" (from an online dictionary)
Shan-e-Punjab= Pride/glory/majesty of punjab
Shan= pride/glory/majesty
Waris Punjab De= Heirs of Punjab?

i think that's what they mean...

sonay = beautiful
rooh = essence
shan = pride
waris = heir so so heirs of punjab
heeray = diamonds
PDDS = Panj Dariya is 5 rivers which equals to Punjab so basically the shade of 5 rivers???

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

A while back I was singing the song Putt jattan de by Surinder Shinda, I asked my baba what it meant by baloun de bakhere and he said it meant: when jatts get drunk they used to start making the sound that goats (bakhare) made and they usually did this with farmers after a long day working khet (land).
Lol... so that's what I think it means :'D

Sonay-Handsome
Rooh-Spirit, Derived from Arabic
Shan/Shaan=Pride
Waaris=Can mean owner,heir,etc. Depends on context.
Panj-5
Dariyavan-Rivers, I think? , Derived from Persian

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

Lalkare means Roar, right? Like LSD is Roar of the Lion? Or am I mistaken.

I'm going to add my own needs on this list. Knowing Gujju and Hindi can only help so much.

Patola = ?
Apne Begane = ?

What does the main lyrics of Furr mean? Pehli uddi Furrr, Doosri uddi furrr... etc

Thanks a lot.

Re: Bakre Balaunde?

Aren't Lalkares like challenges/shoutings....I dunno how to describe it. Like in songs they always says the men are shouting challenges in the streets and alleys....gali ch lalkaare

Patola = Puppet

Furr is like the sound a bird makes....the first one flew away furrr...the second one flew away furrr...the third one flew away furr...it's meant to be figurative, the song is about girls...

it just means roars like kinnell said....LSD bhangra is "roar of the lions: lalkare sheran de". it does not mean challenge
