Elly Mangat Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Faayda chuk saadi chup da.
Att di aayi nu aukhe honge.
Vekh layi main kiwen dukda.(Repeat 2 Times)
Bhajeya nu raah vi nahiyo labhne.
Bhajeya nu raah vi nahiyo labhne.
Akhaan bannke nishana jadon lagya.
Hath kanna nu lava du billo raaniye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du patt honiye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Saanu dasna ni painda saade baare.
Ni dekhi aape time bolda.
Ho vattan jeen de javan assi hoye aan.
Ni tahi jatt kaim bolda.(Repeat 2 Times)
Oh kehra goli naalo dassi tez bhajlu.
Oh kehra goli naalo tez bhajlu.
Hik tan jadon thaa thaa karwa gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du billo raaniye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du patt honiye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Oh ankhaan de layi sada bolda.
Ni Elly fokiyan naa rodd da.
Jadon pai gya ni bheed pata lagjuga.
Aape baahan wale zor da.(Repeat 2 Times)
Umran de layi nahiyo bhulna.
Umran de layi nahiyo bhulna.
Jadon jadaan tak billo main hila gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du billo raaniye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du patt honiye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Ni marno kade naa jatt darrya.
Tu ik gal jaandi rahi.
Je naa chakte jahaano gin gin ke.
Tu ganne aala fer naa kahi.
Oh kaagja taun bahar vi honge.
Oh parchiya taun bahar vi honge.
Jehre lalli shalli tera yaar ruda gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du billo raaniye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
Hath kanna nu lava du patt honiye.
Je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya.
The lyrics of Elly Mangat's "Hands in 2-3" speak to the challenges and resilience of the Punjabi community, particularly in the face of societal pressures and stereotypes. The opening lines suggest that those who speak out are often faced with backlash ("Sir chad chad bolde si jehre, faayda chuk saadi chup da"), and that success will always come with difficulties ("Att di aayi nu aukhe honge, vekh layi main kiwen dukda"). The chorus speaks to the struggle to find one's own path in life and to overcome obstacles ("Bhajeya nu raah vi nahiyo labhne, akhaan bannke nishana jadon lagya").
The second verse describes a powerful and independent woman who can hold her own against any man ("Hath kanna nu lava du billo raaniye, je jatt tera aayi utte aa gya"), while the third verse emphasizes the importance of perseverance and determination in the face of societal expectations ("Saanu dasna ni painda saade baare, ni dekhi aape time bolda").
Overall, the song carries a message of strength, resilience, and solidarity in the face of adversity. It encourages listeners to stand up for themselves and their beliefs and to take control of their own lives.
