Sultan | Papon – Bulleya Lyrics English Translation
Dum dum, dum dum…
You are my breath, my life,
My every moment, always.
You are my breath, my life,
My every moment, always.
Whether you speak to me or not,
Whether you refuse the message in my eyes—
Just don’t ever say, “O crazy one,
Don’t look at me, don’t take my name.”
My worship is for you; your divinity belongs to me.
My worship is for you; your divinity belongs to me.
If you command, I’ll become Bulleh Shah’s sacrifice.
I too will dance,
I’ll lose myself to please my beloved.
I’ll walk your path, O Bulleh.
I too will dance,
I’ll lose myself to please my beloved,
Without a care, O Bulleh.
You are my every breath, my constant companion.
You are my confidant, my healing balm.
You are my companion in every moment.
You are my breath, my constant companion.
You are mine, always.
I admit our love is incomplete,
But my heart feels no shame in that.
What became whole has ended;
Only what remains half-alive still breathes.
My hopes sit waiting at the doorstep of your home.
My heart is that bird whose flight never ends.
If you forgive me with love, that will be my freedom.
If you forgive me with love, that will be my release.
If you command, I’ll become Bulleh Shah’s sacrifice.
I too will dance,
I’ll lose myself to please my beloved.
I’ll walk your path, O Bulleh.
I too will dance,
I’ll lose myself to please my beloved,
Without a care, O Bulleh.
You are my every breath, my constant companion.
Whether you remember me or not,
Your style lives on in my way of being.
Your displeasure rests upon my head like an honor.
My defeat holds some secret of yours.
Perhaps your separation asks for my very life as sacrifice.
Perhaps your separation asks for my life as offering.
If you command, I’ll become Bulleh Shah’s sacrifice.
I too will dance,
I’ll lose myself to please my beloved.
I’ll walk your path, O Bulleh.
I too will dance,
I’ll lose myself to please my beloved,
Without a care, O Bulleh.
You are my every breath, my constant companion.
You are my confidant, my healing balm.
You are my companion in every moment.
You are my breath, my constant companion.
You are mine, always.
For some relationships, distance is the very salt that preserves them.
Sometimes, not meeting at all is what’s most necessary.
