‘Paapi’ describes the emotions of a man who is disconnected from his soul and living on the adrenaline rush that is
given to him by the short term adulation of his fans and newfound well-wishers. The track lays bare the denial that
the protagonist is consumed by, instead choosing to surround himself with people who constantly shower him with
praise and deny him the reality check that he so desperately needs.
Prabh showcases the delusions of a man who has forgotten his own reality and is content with living in this
manufactured dreamscape that he finds himself in and is looking find peace by controlling the superficial aspects that
govern his career, instead of looking for love and companionship.
lyrics
Hook
Oh jad tak mainu pyaar na kre, mai te theek va. // Until the time they love me, I’m alright
Dilo dheeth va. // I’m stubborn
Oh kalle beke raati rondi a. // She sits alone at night and cries
Krdi a yaad mainu, krdi ni call. // She misses me but doesn’t call
Mai desh duje jaake betha va, apne ch rehna va. // I’ve travelled to another country, obvious to everyone but me
Bas ehio aa dosh! // That was my only fault
Je kalle rehn toh lagda darr, // If you’re scared of being alone
apne aap te kam kr. // then you need to work on yourslef
Je dujeya di gallan da asar tere dimaag te, // If you’re influenced by what people say in public
tainu ve lodd, shanti di. // then you need to find peace
Dhyaan lagla hun hoje na der, // Be careful otherwise it’ll be too late
kho baithe tu sara kuj. // you’ll lose everything
Kabu ch krle tu lalach nu // the thing you have to control is your greed
Raata nu miley oh // I meet them at night
Mainu v pasand boht // Even I’m attracted to them
Bistar ch mauj par sabto ve utte, dimaag ch hove sukoon // If I had a choice, I’d choose mental peace over
temptations
kapdeya toh bina junoon. // and passion between the sheets
Ya ya
O aayi mere supne ch // She came in my dreams
Kendi "milegi kamyaabi nahio tainu, // and said I will never find success
Milega ni pyaar kde tainu" // I will never find love
Kamyaabi mai lelanga pyaar di lod ni. // I’ll achieve success and I can live without love
Hook
Oh jad tak mainu pyaar na kre, mai te theek va. // Until the time they love me, i’m alright
Dilo dheeth va. // My heart is stubborn
Verse
Maut nu dena bulawa mai roz, khule aam. // I dare death to cross my path everyday
Mere maran toh baad, dubara toh sunna mere saare gaane. // After I die, you’ll listen to my songs once again
Kineya nu aajegi samajh, kineya ne bhul jana mainu. // How many will understand? How many will forget me?
Lakha nu krna ve praerit, 2-4 layi dimaag ni khapana. // I’m about to inspire millions, not lose my mind for 2-4 people
Hath vich aakhri glass ve, // I hold tonight’s last drink in my hands
Akh vich aakhri aa athru, // My moment of grief is coming to an end
Bethi a aakhri o gal layi, // She’s waiting for my final move
Yada bas rehni aa kal nu, // These feelings will just be memories tomorrow
Dil boley jee ley iss pal nu, // My heart is telling me to seize this moment
Dimaag bole mudja tu ghar nu, // My minds telling me to go home
Imaan bole sudhrenga kad tu? // My conscience is asking when will I learn?
Koshish Puri ae! // I’m trying my best
Khudgarzi jaruri ae par lalach bhasudi ae. // Its important to think about yourself but greed is an issue
Mere apneya nu fikar c par oh supne ni samajh de // My loved ones worry about me but they don’t understand my
dreams
Te jado da karan lag geya apne te kamm // But since I started working on myself
Eh sadd de ne saare, // They’re all mad at me
hun rahe ni khaun de layak, te mere har raati ne vakhre nazaare. // Now they’re not worth my time and my nights
have opened up to so many possibilites
Bridge
O aayi mere supne ch // She came in my dreams
Kendi "milegi kamyaabi nahio tainu, // and said I will never find success
Milega ni pyaar kde tainu" // I will never find love
Kamyaabi mai lelanga pyaar di lod ni. // I’ll achieve success and I can live without love
Hook
Oh jad tak mainu pyaar na kre, mai te theek va. // Until the time they love me, i’m alright
Dilo dheeth va. // My heart is stubborn
Apne aap nu karna jaruri ae maaf. // Its important to forgive yourself
Apne aap nu karna jaruri ae maaf. // Its important to forgive yourself

Si cet album semble d'apparence agressive, il révélera à l'auditeur attentif un ensemble complexe d'une profondeur rare et surprenante compte tenu du jeune âge des exécutants. Des sons apocalyptiques pour accompagner le renouveau de la scène musicale vietnamienne. Chef-d'œuvre. soap soap soap thestoneroses
Magic in its purest form. I love Floating Points, I love Pharoah Sanders, I love The London Symphony Orchestra. It's a match made in heaven, and the result is absolutely gorgeous. I have loved this record since its release, and realized I don't own it for some reason. So its time to change that. 9.5/10 honestly could become a 10/10 on an indepth vinyl relisten. angrypizza98
