[Intro: Finley Smith]

I know this unjustice

Breaks your heart

Damages your core

But your saga

This storm you are

Has a lot more

Of legacy you hold

Amongst the sword & rabaab

Never forget you originally

Are from the land of punjab

[Verse 1]

Seene balde barood

Thaargey thakaan saari

Beyrozgaari haq-maari

Jhalgey jawaan saari

Aagi vaari full tyaari

Raat jaag beeti saari

Moohro'n hundi goli-baari

Hiq bhari jaani saari

Hun jo

Khilru shingaari jau

Medalaa'n naal bhari

Bhaari paindi rahi ae

Saadi maut utte arhi

Barhi mili ni jind

Jinni mili naam kari

Aggey horaa'n dey jang

Sadaa khirhe mathe larhi

Haq-sach di ros march

Nangey pairee'n heth kachh di

Utto'n turna marhak naal

Jo saanu jachdi

Te ese vakhri shaan to'n

Bahut hater'aan di machdi

Eh dhak hai ni pachdi

Lai dekh lai gavaandhiya

Subsidy tak ni simit

Moohre hoke shakaun

Parshaade dangaa peerhit

Haan down vi rehe kamm

Te Up di vi no limit

Jaagde zameer charhdi kalaa

High on spirit

[Hook x2: Emerald B.]

My land is

Is tryin'

Tryin' to revive

And bе alive

[Verse 2]

Jatta paidavaar vadhi ae?

Aaho jhaarh di jharhi ae

Aa dеkh dabb 'ch adhiye

Kaahnu kamm di gharhi ae

Bhraava kirat vele kaahto'n?

Hai thakaan vi ni bahuti

Joon akki payi musibataa'n to'n

(Kyon?)

Santaan iklauti aapa'n

Ghal hatey baahar

Kitte jinder jeha haal

Naa ho jaanda aithe yaar

(Leh!)

Eho rehnda si sawaal

Hor sunaa tu likhaariya

Ki ajj kis khayaal

Di banaake pitaari ohnu

Chakki phirei'n naal?

Bai likhdaa'n peya'n

Sifat kirsaani di

Ik article kamaal da

Likhaade maalak asaani

Jehi 'ch naal da

Par sabto'n aukha haal da

Likhna hunda bhuchaal da

Kise fakkar di bhaal da

Te kisaan dey saal da

Gall jinder di tu chherh li

Lai hun sukhi di sunn

Ohde chache di kudi

Maa-pey bhej brampton

(Acha?)

Chaahnde si naa murhe

Dhee pind vaapas

Kadde hun te oh kar

Ph.D. partan da

Banaa rahi mann

(Balle!)

[Hook: Emerald B.]

My land is

Is tryin'

Tryin' to revive

And be alive

[Verse 3]

University of torronto to'n

Rehab sciences scholar

Ethe kholu health care

Laake laal-peele dollar

Chitte coat-chitte collar

Hou es chitte da maan

Te eho asal punjabi

Hon da hai parmaan

Jehde daldalaa'n 'ch varh

Raah kar jaande asaan

Oh marrke vi jeyondeya'n

'Ch vajjde mahaan

Ehna te saanu aas

Ehna layi ardaas

Bhala sarbat da

Eh saare ohde khaas

Eh pakke kamm laaye ne

Jehde ohnu dheyaaye ne

Eh kachcheyaa'n layi aaye ne

Jinne ohne bachaaye ne

Lagge khajjal-khavaari

Upraale saare bhaari

Par koshishaa'n ne jaari

Ai'n khaali ni jandi vaari

Naa!
