    Title: Suṭh Gaana – گانا سٹھ – Play That Song!
    Language: Punjabi

    کا سے نہ کہیو سجنی اب میں
    kaase nah kahiyo sajni ab main
    Oh friend, I cannot tell anyone…

    کا سے نہ کہیو سجنی اب میں اپنے جیا کی بات
    kaase nah kahiyo sajni ab main apne jiya ki baat
    Oh friend, I cannot tell anyone my feelings now

    اپنے جیا کی بات اب میں
    apne jiya ki baat ab main
    My feelings now…

    کا سے نہ کہیو سجنی اب میں
    kaase nah kahiyo sajni ab main
    Oh friend, I cannot tell anyone…

    وڈیاں پراتاں وچ تھوڑی جئی روٹی اے
    waḍḍiyaan paraataan wich thoṛi jayi roṭi e
    Such little food on such great, big plates

    سوچ تیری وڈی اے پر ہائیٹ تیرا چھوٹی اے
    soch teri waḍḍi e par haaeeṭ teri chhoṭi e
    Your thoughts are pretty grand, but your height is rather short

    وڈیاں پراتاں وچ تھوڑی جئی روٹی اے
    waḍḍiyaan paraataan wich thoṛi jayi roṭi e
    Such little food on such great, big plates

    سوچ تیری وڈی اے پر ہائیٹ تیرا چھوٹی اے
    soch teri waḍḍi e par haaeeṭ teri chhoṭi e
    Your thoughts are pretty grand, but your height is rather short

    وڈے وڈے ویکھے اسی تیری کی وقات اے
    waḍḍe waḍḍe wekhe asi teri ki waqaat e
    We’ve seen such grand, powerful personages; you’re nothing in comparison

    ایک تیری سیکل پنج مرلیاں دی کوٹھی اے
    ek teri saikal panj marliyaan di koṭhi e
    One bicycle, and a modestly-sized house is all you have to your name

    شوز تیرے پاٹے ہوئے سوٹ پرانا
    shooz tere paaṭe hoye sooṭ puraana
    Your shoes are worn and battered, and your suit is old and shabby

    شوز تیرے پاٹے ہوئے سوٹ پرانا
    shooz tere paaṭe hoye sooṭ puraana
    Your shoes are worn and battered, and your suit is old and shabby

    بلّو ہور کم تیرے کج نئیوں آنا
    ballo hor kam tere kuj naiyon aana

    ایویں جئی سٹوری تیری چھوٹی موٹی کاسٹ اے
    aiwen jayi saṭori teri choṭi moṭi kaasṭ e
    The story of your play is so-so, and its cast is nothing special

    ایویں جئی سٹوری تیری چھوٹی موٹی کاسٹ اے
    aiwen jayi saṭori teri choṭi moṭi kaasṭ e
    The story of your play is so-so, and its cast is nothing special

    کر کے وکھادے کج چانس تیرا لاسٹ اے
    kar ke wakhaade kuj chaans tera laasṭ e
    Better try to prove yourself, you won’t get another chance

    پے جاندی اے ہتّھوں بجی دنداں نال کھولنی
    pai jaandi e hathon bajji dandaan naal kholni
    The knot you tied with your hand, you often have to pick loose with your teeth

    چھیتی چھیتی اٹھ بیٹا ٹیم بڑا فاسٹ اے
    chheti chheti uṭh beṭa ṭaim baṛa faasṭ e
    Quickly get up now, my boy; time passes swiftly

    ایہہ نہ ہووے لنگ جاوے سوچاں چ زمانہ
    eh nah howe lang jaawe sochaan ch zamaanah
    Lest time passes you by while you sit here lost in dreams

    Suth Gaana – Sajjad Ali

    Few artists have the ability to juxtapose the traditional with the popular quite like Sajjad Ali does. Right from the moment Suth Gaana begins with him showing off his classical roots to the infectious refrains of this humorous song, Sajjad Ali reminds the listeners of the range of both his voice and intellect. Sutth Gaana literally translates into “throw a song in”, and according to Sajjad Ali himself it is a phrase yelled out by cinema audiences when a film reaches a suitable point for a song. Yet this playful message is used to capture a profound message in the lyrics, which exhorts people to persevere at what they do well, even when it gets difficult, because that is the only route to success. The arrangement by the Coke Studio team was calibrated to allow Sajjad Ali’s humour and its inherent gravitas to both come through. The flute accompanies the vocals as a distinctive flourish of bravado, while the banjo serves to provide a sense of wisdom and reflection. Both of these instruments also ensure that the composition retains an element of the conversational, allowing the lyrics to reach out to the audience asking for Sutth Gaana.
