Benga Beat Song (Live at Impression Studios, Berlin) ft. Davy Kamoko Lyrics

VERSE 1 (Urdu language):

Dil ke aainay mein

Samaya hain kuch yün:

Har aqss mein faqat wohi

Nazar aaya hai kuch yün!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

*In the mirror of my heart,

Stays his image in a way:

In each reflection, Him only

I have been seeing, in a way.*

PRE-CHORUS (Urdu language):

Narr hü na mein maadi hoon,

Chor chughal fasaadi hoon!

RAP VERSES (English language):

This is probably one of the hardest songs I’ve had to write.

Only because it’s hard to write songs when I feel alright

Or when I’m feeling happy,

When everything up in my life doesn’t seem so crappy

As I re-say, when I write lyrics I seem to always leave them all those swear words

Those fucking I don’t care words…

Replacing them with ‘let me run my fingers thru your hair’ words

And ‘Let me just sleep a little longer in the morning while I stare’ words

I’m sounding so ridiculous:

I’ve never written on a topic quite like this,

I always rap with my emotions, but, not like this.

I been in love before, but maybe just a couple of times.

But never really felt it deep enough to go and write these rhymes…

VERSE 2 (Urdu language):

Narr hü na mein maadi hoon,

Chor chughal fasaadi hoon! (x2)

Ashiq de imdaadi hoon,

Na harami hoon, a halaali hoon.

Mein ashiq mastt jalaali hoon!

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:

Neither am I male, nor female,

I am a thief, a troublemaker! (x2)

A helper of the lovers,

Neither bad, or good.

I am a wild, intoxicated lover!
