Masakali English Lyrics

Aye Masakali, Masakali
Hey, Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird

Aye Masakali, Masakali
Hey, Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird

Aye Masakali, Masa-Masakali
Hey, Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird

Masakali, Masakali
Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird


Zara pankh jhatak, gayi dhool atak
Give your wings a little shake; dust has settled on them

Aur lachak machak ke door bhatak
Then sway and dance as you wander far away

Udde dagar dagar, kasbe kooche
Fly along the roads, through towns and narrow lanes

Nukkad basti mein, yeah yeah
Through every street corner and neighborhood, yeah, yeah

Itdi se mudd, ada se udd
Turn this way and fly with style

Karle puri dil ki tamanna
Fulfill the longing in your heart

Hawa se jud, ada se udd
Join the breeze and fly with grace

Phurr phurr phurr, tu hai heera panna re
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! You’re a precious gem


Masakali, Masakali
Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird

Masakali, Masakali
Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird


Ghar tera saloni, badal ki colony
Your beautiful home is in a colony of clouds

Dikhla de thenga in sabko joh udna na jaane
Thumb your nose at all those who don’t know how to fly

Udiyo na dariyo, kar manmaani, manmaani, manmaani
Fly without fear; do whatever your heart desires

Badhiyo na mudiyo, kar nadaani
Keep moving forward, don’t turn back; be carefree

Udiyo na dariyo, kar manmaani, manmaani, manmaani
Fly without fear; do whatever your heart desires

Badhiyo na mudiyo, kar nadaani
Keep moving forward, don’t turn back; be carefree

Ab thaan le, muskaan le
Make up your mind and wear a smile

Kahe sana nana nan nan hawa
The breeze whispers its playful tune

Bas thaan le, tu jaan le
Just make up your mind and understand

Kahe sana nana nan nan hawa
Listen to the playful song of the wind


Aye Masakali, Masakali
Hey, Masakali, little dove

Udd matak kali, matak kali
Fly and flutter, you playful little bird

Aye Masakali, Masa-Masakali
Hey, Masakali, my playful little dove

Masakali, Masakali
Masakali, little dove

Udd matak matak matak
Fly and flutter, flutter, flutter


Tujhe kya gham, tera rishta
Why should you have any worries, when your connection

Gagan ki baansuri se hai
Is with the flute of the sky

Pawan ki guftagu se hai
And with the whispering conversations of the breeze

Sooraj ki roshni se hai
And with the sunlight

Udiyo na dariyo, kar manmaani, manmaani, manmaani
