Tun Vaada Na Karda Lyrics English Translation – Harbhajan Mann

Tu Vaada Na Karda Main Supne Na Bunndi
If you hadn’t made that promise, I wouldn’t have woven these dreams.

Main Kamli Rahi Gall Dil Di Na Sunndi
I remained foolish, not listening to my heart.

Gall Dil Di Na Sunndi
I didn’t listen to my heart.

Tu Vaada Na Karda Main Supne Na Bunndi
If you hadn’t made that promise, I wouldn’t have woven these dreams.

Palkaan Te Sejaan Bichaundi Hi Reh Gayi
I kept laying a bed of hopes on my eyelashes,

Akhiyan Paimane Banaundi Hi Reh Gayi
I kept turning my eyes into cups filled with tears.

Vehde Vich Mehndi Da Nikka Jeha Boota
That little henna plant in the courtyard never saw a wedding,

Chunniyan Nu Gote Main Laundi Hi Reh Gayi
While I kept spending my days stitching lace onto my dupattas.

Main Chaavan Di Jhanjar Pairan Ch Paake
Wearing the anklet of my desires on my feet,

Tabaahi Nu Janda Main Raahi Na Chunndi
I wouldn’t have chosen the path that leads to ruin.

Main Raahi Na Chunndi
I wouldn’t have chosen that path.

Tu Vaada Na Karda Main Supne Na Bunndi
If you hadn’t made that promise, I wouldn’t have woven these dreams.

Main Raatan De Rang Da Banaundi Na Kajla
I wouldn’t have made kohl from the colors of the nights,

Main Chadhdi Javani Chhupaundi Na Kajla
Nor tried to hide my blossoming youth behind it.

Tu Mainu Na Milda Main Tainu Na Mildi
If we had never met,

Hanjuaan Ch Ajj Main Bahaundi Na Kajla
Then today, I wouldn’t be washing away my kohl in tears.

Wangaan De Thalle Lukauna Na Painda
I wouldn’t have had to hide my wounds beneath my bangles,

Veeni De Utte Main Bedil Na Khunndi
If I hadn’t engraved that ‘heartless’ one’s name on my wrist.

Main Bedil Na Khunndi
I wouldn’t have carved that heartless name.

Tu Vaada Na Karda Main Supne Na Bunndi
If you hadn’t made that promise, I wouldn’t have woven these dreams.

Main Supne Na Bunndi
I wouldn’t have woven these dreams.

Tu Vaada Na Karda Main Supne Na Bunndi
If you hadn’t made that promise, I wouldn’t have woven these dreams.
