Ehh thandia hawama nu mehsoos krr
Enna ptteya di awajja nu mehsoos krr
Kinneh vdia lgg deh ooh najareh neh
Jdd milln pnshi enna butteya te bahuut lgg deh pyaareh neh
Ooh shaam da Vella,
ooh tall di dupeher te ondi raat da Vella,
Menu haijje tkk na pull deh veh,
Mere pind diya montiya te jo shaam nu lgg deh pnshiya deh najaareh veh,
Koi kis nu bulaaveh koi kis nu bulaaveh
Enneh vdia oo diss deh najaareh neh,
If not for you, I wouldn’t know
What true love really meant.
I’d never feel this inner peace;
I couldn’t be content.
If not for you, I’d never have
The pleasures of romance.
I’d miss the bliss, the craziness,
Of love’s sweet, silly dance.
I have to feel your tender touch;
I have to hear your voice;
No other one could take your place;
You’re it; I have no choice.
If not for you, I’d be adrift;
I don’t know what I’d do;
I’d be searching for my other half,
Incomplete, if not for you.
