There's a song by Panjabi MC called Jogi. I've transcribed it below but does anyone know what it means? Thanks! Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga Nal ranjhe tay jogi de tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga Mai Ishq de alleya zakhmaN day khud has has ke muh seen laN gi Je yaar mera mainu zehar deeve mai ghat ghat kar ke pee lan gi Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga Nal ranjhe tay jogi de tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga Mai sassi, sohni, heer wang hi jaan dee baazi lawangi mai thar vich burtha ho jan gi mai jal vich goote khawangi Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga Nal ranjhe tay jogi de tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga 2x Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga Nal ranjhe tay jogi de tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga Mai Ishq de alleya zakhmaN day khud has has ke muh seen laN gi Je yaar mera mainu zehar deeve mai ghat ghat kar ke pee lan gi Na day dil pardesi nuN Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga Nal ranjhe tay jogi de tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga

Na day dil pardesi nuN

Don’t give your heart to a foreigner
Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga

Or you will have to cry everyday

Na day dil pardesi nuN
Don’t give your heart to a foreigner
Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga
Or you will have to cry everyday
Nal ranjhe tay jogi de
If you fall in love with Romeo
tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga

You will have to become a recluse

Mai Ishq de alleya zakhmaN day
I will soothe all my pains from love
khud has has ke muh seen laN gi
With a smile on my face
Je yaar mera mainu zehar deeve
If my lover gives me poison
mai ghat ghat kar ke pee lan gi
I will swallow it happily
Na day dil pardesi nuN
Don’t give your heart to a foreigner
Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga
Or you will have to cry everyday
Nal ranjhe tay jogi de
If you fall in love with Romeo
tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga
You will have to become a recluse

Mai sassi, sohni, heer wang
For the beautiful Juliet
hi jaan dee baazi lawangi
I will sacrifice my life
mai thar vich burtha ho jan gi
I will face burning heat of the deserts
mai jal vich goote khawangi
I will dive into the deepest ocean

Na day dil pardesi nuN
Don’t give your heart to a foreigner
Tainu nit da roona pai jau ga
Or you will have to cry everyday
Nal ranjhe tay jogi de
If you fall in love with Romeo
tainu jogan hauna pai jau ga
You will have to become a recluse
Na day dil pardesi nuN
Don’t give your heart to a foreigner

Madhuri ji, I am going to have to ask you for advice again (sigh… I need to catch up on my music…!)…

Should this be in the Punjabi section?

Awww hehe, your sigh made me laugh. Don't worry…you are right, it should be in the Punjabi section. This song wasn't very popular with Indians but with the western main stream music.
