Gill Te Guitar

Here's a Summer of 69-ish number from the first true Indian Brand in Music. Mind you, I'm not suggesting replications, I'm suggesting genres.






Ek minute ek minute paaji shuru ton...

1, 2, 3, 4...

ve yaar mere kade sege tin chaar
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
katthe Khaadi assan maar
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
phir aeru gaya baar
hun saanga vi dubai
bache gill te guitar

palle te meri kismat si buri
assi firde rahe par na manni koi kudi
bhave kahk si kaj si (?)
sannu si nasha
Kadde hovange kalle
sanu ki pata

ve yaar mere kade sege tin chaar
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
katthe Khaadi assan maar
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
phir aeru gaya baar
hun saanga vi dubai
bache gill te guitar

Aeru si lammba main si chotta
main si bahutaan kharab oh zara si thoda
uddon lad ke kai din na assan bolnaa
hun chah ke vi milda na dukh kholna

mileyaa kal ik raahi mainu
kehndaa gal sun meri tu khol kann
jaddon na kujh agge disse
tahiyon bandaa vekhe picche

sanga apna si bandaa tagraa
kade darr na fikar udde nede lagaa
bare din baad kal aaya udda phone si
kehndaa din taan lang jaada ae
par shaam nai

ve yaar mere kade seege tin chaar
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
katthe Khaadi assan maar
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
phir aeru gaya baar
hun saanga vi dubai
bache gill te guitar

ve yaar mere

ve yaar mere

ve yaar mere

ve yaar mere

one min bro let's do it from the start...

1, 2, 3, 4...

We were 3-4 friends
We used to flirt with girls together
And got beaten up together
Palla went First
Aeru followed
Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
Left: Gill and Guitar

Palla and I had terrible luck
We went around but found no gal
/** I don't know **/
We were intoxicated
That one day we'll be alone
We didn't know

We were 3-4 friends
We used to flirt with girls together
And got beaten up together
Palla went First
Aeru followed
Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
Left: Gill and Guitar

Aeru was tall and I was short
I was very evil, he was lesser
We used to fight and not talk for days
Now we can't share grief even when we want

I met a vagrant yesterday
He said, listen to me, open your ears
When you can't see what's ahead
you turn to see what's gone by

Sanga was a strong man
Fear or worry never came near him
He called me yesterday, after a long time
Said that the days pass through
But the evenings don't

We were 3-4 friends
We used to flirt with girls together
And got beaten up together
Palla went First
Aeru followed
Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
Left: Gill and Guitar

Oh, my friends...

Oh, my friends...

Oh, my friends...

Oh, my friends...

Alright Sam I know this song rules, so does Rabbi. I am very sure that the next comment will be of KD, soemthing really stupid from him I can gurantee.

But yes for that line you don't know the meaning of...

bhave kakh si kuj si - whatever it was, whether we had anything or not...and the song continues :-)

This is what I know it means. Might be wrong too.

it is "kakh", which means something trivial, scintilla, very less. "Mere kol kakh nahi, je tu na mere kol" I think you get me now. And I believe you get the meaning of that line too.

That was but obviously. The one who is simply obsessed with Rabbi. U expect not to make a comment on rabbi that too on another rabbi fan blog. This thing was most expected.
ne ways Since i got a chance to see him live, I would like to share, he got very very diff style. a lil shy kinda delhi_cool_sardar ;).. ofcourse he wear the specs like me. the another song acoustic rock one - "Ek Geet Hijar Da". Simply Amazing

Few amazing lines from SOng called Jugni.


Jugni Ja Vadi punjab, jithe padhe likhe bekar.
vech zameena javan bhar, Uthe maran Jadhu
uthe gori len vihaya, peeche tabar takke rah.

Jugni goes to punjab, ppl even after studing r just gud for nothing,
punjabi ppl sell of there farming lands to go abroad, and work as sweeper there
they get married to some green card holder Gori Females, the family keeps waiting for there loved one's gone abroad.

His lyrics always been very meaningful. thats how i guess me and my freinds r so much fond of this cool_sardar ;)

AJ: Thanks, I think you're right.

KD: :) Hell Yeah. But stop comparing Rabbi to Yourself. :D:D

Aryan: Cool place to thrive in, dude! Don't mention, I couldn't get the song outta my system, so I thought the best way out is an overkill :)

i think the missing line is "pavein koji si pavein changi si'...as in maye be the girl was just ok or maybe a nice one... but we just fooled around cuz we dint know we'd be alone some day

Hi I am learning rock,blues and jazz guitar right now, but I am still very young.I get inspired to play by going to major concerts with guitar players
I am like barley 13 and cute for a blonde girl, and I love guitar.I just had to tell everyone that!! I went to a rock show and saw GW Williams Friday. he was the bestest ever.I am so in love with an older guitar man.ok so he doesn't know,but I have a crush on GW Williams.
I got his press release here
Part of him Press Release Is down Below
________________________
The GW Williams,Rock & Blues & JAZZ guitar concert held last Friday evening in Seattle was amazing !! The crowd went crazy wild with emotion,even I couldn't believe what GW Williams did, neither could the over 98,582 people who veiwed GW and his Rock n Roll & jazzy blues style on guitar. And This Guy can sing like Elvis.His Guitar Playing and singing opened a whole new world of music,maybe a new style was born.So Don't wait check this guy out when he come to your town.Rock,Blues,Jazz Guitarist GW Williams The Birth Of A Guitar Legend
