Nothing Na Nothing Na
Good For Nothing Na
Nothing Nothing Nothing …
(Repeated “nothing Nothing Nothing…” Several Times)
Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
Nothing Nothing Nothing
Nothing Nothing Nothing
Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega, Beta
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
Zindagi Yoon To Khuli Sadak Hai
Sadak Pe Tu Saala Traffic Jam Karega
Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Humein Bole Zamaana
Palat Ke Humne Zamaane Se Kaha, Bhaad Mein Jaana
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
O Tere Agar Magar Parantu Parantu
O Beta Tu Bhi Ajab Hai Jantu Hai Jantu
Kyunki Tera Tareeka, Tera Saliqa
Saare Jahaan Se Alag Thalak
Sahi Ko Bhi Galat Karega, Karega
Hote Hi Maaf Teri Subah Ki Galti
Tu To Usko Repeat Usi Shaam Karega
Mere Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega, Beta
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Humein Bole Zamaana
Palat Ke Humne Zamaane Se Kaha, Bhaad Mein Jaana
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana (…continued)
Nothing Na Nothing Na
Nothing, no — nothing at all.
Good For Nothing Na
Not good for anything at all.
Nothing Nothing Nothing …
Nothing, nothing, nothing…
(Repeated “nothing Nothing Nothing…” Several Times)
(Repeated many times: “nothing, nothing, nothing…”)
Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega
Papa used to say, you’ll do something like this,
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
When you grow up, you’ll disgrace my name.
Nothing Nothing Nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Nothing Nothing Nothing
Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega, Beta
Papa used to say, son, you’ll do something like this,
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
When you grow up, you’ll bring shame upon me.
Zindagi Yoon To Khuli Sadak Hai
Life is an open road, you see,
Sadak Pe Tu Saala Traffic Jam Karega
But you’ll turn that road into a traffic jam!
Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega
Papa used to say, you’ll do something like this,
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
When you grow up, you’ll disgrace my name.
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
The world says, “Good for nothing, nothing, nothing.”
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Humein Bole Zamaana
The world calls *us* “good for nothing, nothing, nothing.”
Palat Ke Humne Zamaane Se Kaha, Bhaad Mein Jaana
We turned around and told the world, “Go to hell!”
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
The world goes on saying, “Good for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.”
O Tere Agar Magar Parantu Parantu
Oh your ifs, buts, and endless objections…
O Beta Tu Bhi Ajab Hai Jantu Hai Jantu
Oh son, you’re a strange creature, truly something else.
Kyunki Tera Tareeka, Tera Saliqa
Because your way, your style —
Saare Jahaan Se Alag Thalak
—is unlike anyone else in this world.
Sahi Ko Bhi Galat Karega, Karega
You’ll even turn right into wrong, that’s what you’ll do.
Hote Hi Maaf Teri Subah Ki Galti
No sooner are your morning mistakes forgiven,
Tu To Usko Repeat Usi Shaam Karega
You go and repeat them again that very evening!
Mere Papa Kehte The Aisa Kaam Karega, Beta
My papa used to say, “Son, you’ll do something like this,”
Bada Hoke Mujhko Tu Badnaam Karega
“When you grow up, you’ll shame my name.”
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
The world says, “Good for nothing, nothing, nothing.”
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Humein Bole Zamaana
It calls us the same — “Good for nothing.”
Palat Ke Humne Zamaane Se Kaha, Bhaad Mein Jaana
We turned and told the world to go burn in the fire!
Good For Nothing Nothing Nothing Nothing Bole Zamaana
Still the world chants: “Good for nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.”
