Bunnayn(za), Bumbu Sauce

Punjabi punk rock based on a funny punjabi poem by Anwar Masoon. It's the sales pitch of a vest seller sitting on the sidewalk calling out to people.

The band has added a twist to the original by adding (za) to it so it sounds like they are singing about a famous vest brand in the region.


Lyrics with a poor translation (mine; improvements appreciated):

Bunyan len jande ho - you go to buy a vest
Bunyan le ke aande ho - you buy a vest
Paande ho toh pendi nahi - you wear it but it you can't get it on you
Pey jaye te lendi nahi - if you do get it on, it doesn't come off
Le jaye te dooji vari paan jogi rehndi nahi - if it comes off, you can't wear it a second time
Bunyan mein diyanga! - I'll give you a vest
Pao gaye te peh jaye - try to wear it and it can
Lao ge te leh jaye -  Take it off and it comes off
Le jaye te dooji vari paan jogi reh jaye - Comes off and can be worn a second time
Banyan meri vadiya - My vest is very good
Bunyan meri taap di! -  My vest of the top
Vadeyaan nu pori ave niikyaan de naap di - Fits adults and children
Cheez hove asli te muhon pai boldi - The real thing; you can tell by looking at it.
Dhup nal gori lage, rassi ute doldi - Looks good when drying in the sun on a rope
Jine vare chaho tusi ais nu handa lao - Wear it as many time as you want
Pher bhavein bachcheyaan da jangia bana lao - And after that if you like, make it your kid's underwear.

Here's the original poem by the poet
