It Is What It Is (Madhaniya)

Madhaaniyaan, haye oh mere daadeya rabba
Kinna jammiya, kinna jammiya
Kinna ne le jaaniya haye

(The milk churns and I wonder
How I’m born to one, but will be taken away by another)

It’s never so simple; learning to change
The ups and the downs, the living in doubt, it gives and it takes
I picked up my baggage, looking for space
Didn’t think it would fit in a new place

Babul ne paaleya si dud ate makhna naal
Chad ghar mera kenda pal vi main rakhna na
Ek dam kiven nirmoha hogeya oh
Inj lage mera jiven sab kho gaya

(My dad raised me and fed me milk and buttеr
He’s saying leave my housе now don’t stay any longer
All at once how is he changing his mind
It feels like I’m losing everything)

Madhaaniyaan, haye oh mere daadeya rabba
Kinna jammiya, kinna jammiya
Kinna ne le jaaniya haye

Maaye meriye, maaye meriye
Kyun laayi deriye, kyun laayi deriye
Veere nu kehde main naiyyo jaana
Aithe hi rehna, pakka thikaana
Babul ne paaleya si dud ate makhna naal
Chad ghar mera kenda pal vi main rakhna na
Ek dam kiven nirmoha hogeya oh
Inj lage mera jiven sab kho gaya

(Mother of mine, why did you take so long?
Tell my brothers I’m not going anywhere, I’m not leaving and
I want to stay here forever)

Madhaaniyaan, haye oh mere daadeya rabba
Kinna jammiya, kinna jammiya
Kinna ne le jaaniya haye
Madhaaniyaan, haye oh mere daadeya rabba
Kinna jammiya, kinna jammiya
Kinna ne le jaaniya haye

(It is what it is what it is what it is what it is
It is what it is what it is what it is what it is
Jo hai so hai, jo hai so hai
It is what it is what it is what it is what it is) x2
