Tu Malla Tu

Tu Malla Tu
Log pannan Thikriyan
Badam Panne tu

(let others waste time while you use it productively) 

X2

Tu Malla Tu
Log Paun Mandeya
Neya Kare tu

Tu meri umar bhi phog bachua
Tere Kola lange ni koi rog bachua .... X2


Tu Malla Tu
Log pannan Thikriyan
Badam Panne tu


Ae me din gini gini ae leta ae
ae me sukhan sarini ae leta ae...... X2

Tu Malla Tu..

Tu Malla Tu
Log pannan Thikriyan
Badam Panne tu

Tu Malla Tu
Log Paun Mandeya
Neya Kare tu



Lyrics and music by Padma sachdev

Singer : Lata Mangeshkar

It is a song sung by a mother for her child to express her love for him. She asks for all good to happen to him.

Banku deya chachua

Aau galaniyaa sach bo, mere baanku deya chachua 

(I am telling the truth , my Banku’s dad (banku is name of kid ) (referring to her husband indirectly)

Meki bhi layi chal kach bo, mere baanku deya chachua

Take me also with you, oh my Banku’s dad

Sass Nanan meki jeen ni dendiyaan, Thande paani da ghut.. meki peena ni dendiyan ( x2)

Mother-in-Law and Sister-in-Law does not let me live peacefully, not even let me drink few sips of cold water

Aakh diyaan charkha kat bo, hai mere banku deya chachua (x2)

(they order me to spin the spinning wheel)

Aau galaniyaa sach bo, mere baanku deya chachua

Meki bhi layi chal kach bo, mere baanku deya chachua

Roti Pakaan miki garmi lagdi, Bhandeyaan manjadi jo sardi je lagdi (x2)

I feel very warm when making roti (i.e. india bread), i feel very cold when washing the dishes. (generally the area in which she lives is cold)

Naukar chakar rakh wo,mere banku deya chachua (x2)

Aau galaniyaa sach bo, mere baanku deya chachua
Meki bhi layi chal kach bo, mere baanku deya chachua

Appe te turi Jande naukri chaakari..meki te deyi jande khurpa te dhatari (x2)
Sara din kaame kane tutti jaanda lakk wo..mere banku deya chachua. (x2)

Aau galaniyaa sach bo, mere baanku deya chachua
Meki bhi layi chal kach bo, mere baanku deya chachua

Album : Mere Manuye da desh
Composer : Ravi Sharma
In this song, the lady is complaining about her in laws to her husband. She is newly wed into this house and thus she uses the reference of her nephew 'banku' to call her husband (as Banku's uncle). As he goes out to work she is expected to do household chores for which she is not prepared at all. The song has an element of love, care and mischief in it.

Performance by Tahira Syed

The song probably evolved to remove the drudgery in the daily household chores. Its message is very simple but crucial. One should like what they do, if they cant do what they like. The song also highlights that truly great people are like moon, their greatness will always remain with them if they are good to others. The song then tries to give solace to householders in the natural beauty of the place, which often goes into oblivion in our busy routines.
