Bari Der Songtext
von Jaz Dhami

Desh Begane Laley dere = You have settled in a foreign country
Watani das kado laaney fere = Tell me when you are going to pay a visit to your homeland
Hun ta kai saal beet gaye mulakat kiti nu = It has been many years since we last met
Badi der ho gai veereya = It has been a long time O! Brother
Katheya baike peeti nu = since we sat together and had a drink.


Bahr Jaake paisa khoob kamaya = U earned a lot of money by going abroad
Kherke pind da naa chamkaya = you brought glory to the village
Paise tere ne??? ditta... Chak gareebi nu = money sent by you make our lives prosperous (lifted us from poverty)
Badi der ho gai veereya = It has been a long time O! Brother
Katheya baike peeti nu = since we sat together and had a drink.

Loki dade pind jehi nuhar nai = People tell it is not like the village there (in foreign land)
Kam mausam sajan da aetbaar nai = Job, beloved and weather can not be trusted
Akhan ch hanju vagade sunke had beeti nu = Tears flow from my eyes on hearing these experiences.

Kisi diya rava roz udeek diya = Somebody awaits your return everyday
Chuttiyan kat ja thode week diya = do come and spend vacations for a few weeks here
Bacheya nu Punjab liya nalley bhabhi beeti nu = Bring children to Punkab and Sister in Law (his wife) too.
Badi der ho gai veereya = It has been a long time O! Brother
Katheya baike peeti nu = since we sat together and had a drink.
