Wanga
Gulab Sidhu Lyrics

The lyrics of Gulab Sidhu's song "Wanga" delve deep into themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and self-discovery. The singer describes the fragility of relationships by using the metaphor of broken glass ("ਵੰਗਾਂ ਜੋ ਟੂਟੀਆਂ ਕੱਚ ਦੀਆਂ, ਕੱਚ ਦੀਆਂ ਸੱਚ ਦੱਸਦੀਆਂ"), suggesting that the truths revealed in a relationship can be as fragile and easily shattered as glass. The image of a heartbroken individual who tries to mask their pain but eventually breaks down is vividly painted in the lines "ਤੇਰੀ ਫੜੀ ਹੋਣੀ ਵੀਨੀ ਓਹਨੇ ਘੁੱਟਕੇ, ਤਾਹੀਂ ਡਿਗ ਗਈ ਧੜਕ ਵੰਗ ਟੁੱਟਕੇ."

Furthermore, the lyrics delve into the emotions of disappointment and resentment towards someone who has caused pain and sorrow. The singer reflects on the loss of trust and the feeling of being deceived, as expressed in the lines "ਕੋਈ ਲੈ ਗਿਆ ਦੁਪਹਿਰੇ ਸੁਣ ਲੁੱਟਕੇ, ਪੱਕੀ ਆ report ਗੱਲ ਸ਼ੱਕ ਦੀ ਨਾ." The sense of betrayal and realization of hidden truths are emphasized, adding layers of complexity to the narrative.

The lyrics continue to explore the aftermath of a broken relationship, where the singer reflects on the physical and emotional impact of the separation. The imagery of falling earrings ("ਤੇਰੇ ਝੁਮਕੇ ਕੰਨਾਂ ਚੋਂ ਕਾਹਦੇ ਗਿਰੇ ਗੋਰੀਏ") symbolizes the loss of beauty and adornment, highlighting the contrast between external appearances and internal turmoil. The lines "ਹੁਣ ਲੰਘਦੀ ਪਾਕੇ ਨੀਂਵੀਆਂ ਨੀ, ਨਾ ਪਲਕਾਂ ਚੱਕਦੀ ਅੱਖ ਦੀਆਂ" convey a sense of resignation and sadness, as the singer navigates through the pain of the separation.

Finally, the lyrics touch upon themes of empowerment and self-realization as the singer asserts their independence and self-worth. The lines "ਤੂੰ ਜਿਹੜੇ ਰਾਜ ਬਣਾਕੇ ਰੱਖੇ ਸੀ, ਨੀ ਅੱਜ ਪਰਦੇ ਉੱਠ ਗਏ ਓਹਨਾ ਤੋਂ" suggest a reclaiming of personal power and agency after overcoming challenges. The song culminates with a sense of liberation and defiance, as the singer declares independence from past pain and expresses a newfound sense of self-assurance.
