Punjabi singer-turned-actor Gippy Grewal has released a new album called WhatsApp. In the wide universe of technology-related songs, Grewal's sad, slow number will be remembered for its heartbreaking quality and memorable lyrics, when translated.
A love-lorn Punjabi man is shocked to see his face on the WhatApp display image of his ex-girlfriend. The labyrinthine plot thickens when he wonders whether she is simply missing him or she is on the verge of a rebound. Near impossible as it was to translate the pain and loneliness in the Punjabi lyrics to English, we tried to anyway. (IBN Live)
Dil Talae Talea Na, Ik Jhaat Jihi Maari Si,
Hunda Nahi Yakeen, Jo Maenu Dikhiya Ae
I tried to distract my heart, But it wouldn't get distracted
I tried forgetting the memories, I even scolded my heart,
Just can't believe, What I saw
Shayad ohnu fer dobara, Yaad mai aon lagga
Ohne WhatsApp De DP utte
Miss You... likhia ae
Perhaps she once again, Started remembering me
On her WhatsApp DP, Miss you... is written
Shayad ohnu Fer Dobara, Yaad Mai Aon Lagga
Ohne whatssup De DP Utte, Miss You... Likhia ae
Perhaps she once again, Started remembering me
On her Whatsapp DP, Miss you... is written
Oh lagda hai, odaa jani ohnu
Chad gaya hona ae, Thoker maar ke
Dil apne cho Kadd gaya hona hai
Looks like, Her lover must have ditched her
Must have thrown her, Out of his heart
