Tunak Tunak Tun Lyrics
(chorus)
Tunak Tunak Tun
Tunak Tunak Tun
Tunak Tunak Tun
Da Da Da
5x
Dholna Vajje Tumbe Vaali Taar
Sun Dil Di Pukaar
Aaja Kar Layieh Pyaar
Sweetheart, the strings of the instrument play
Listen to what the heart says
Come and love me
(4x)
Dholna...
Sweetheart...
(chorus 4x)
Duniya Yaara Rang Birangi
Na Eh Bheri Na Eh Changi
The world is a colorful place
It's not good nor bad
(4x)
Sun Yaara Bole Ik Taya
Mehndi Da Yaara
Listen friends the iktaara¹ says
Mehndi's friends
(chorus 4x)
Dholna Kadeh Mere Nal Hass
Mainu Dil Valli Dass
Nahin Taan Teri Meri Bass
Sweetheart, come smile with me sometimes
My heart's keeper (lover) look
This body is not under your or my control
(4x)
Dholna...
Sweetheart...
(chorus 4x)
Duniya Yaara Rang Birangi
Na Eh Bheri Na Eh Changi
The world is a colorful place
It's not good nor bad
(4x)
Sun Yaara Bole Ik Taya
Mehndi Da Yaara
(chorus 4x)
Dholna Tu Chann Mein Chakor
Sadde Varga Na Hor
Rab Hath Saddi Dor
Sweetheart, you are moon and I am Chakor²
There no one like us
Our threads of life is in the hands of god
(4x)
Dholna...
Sweetheart
(chorus 4x)
Duniya Yaara Rang Birangi
Na Eh Bheri Na Eh Changi
(4x)
Sun Yaara Bole Ik Taya
Mehndi Da Yaara
(chorus 4x)

Meaning of Tunak Tunak Tun
Tunak Tunak Tun is a joyous celebration of love and life, urging listeners to embrace the beauty around them with an infectious energy. Daler Mehndi’s message is one of carefree abandon – “Dholna” (dance!) – encouraging us to let go of worries and simply enjoy the moment, guided by our hearts. The lyrics paint a vibrant picture of the world (“Duniya Yaara Rang Birangi”) where neither good nor bad definitively exists, inviting acceptance and optimism. The repeated calls for "Sweetheart" establish a playful, romantic connection, comparing the singer to a “Chakor” (chickadee) forever gazing at the moon – a symbol of eternal love and devotion. Ultimately, Mehndi’s song is an uplifting anthem about finding happiness in simple pleasures, trusting your instincts, and letting go with a spirited "Tunak Tunak Tun!" It's a call for connection and embracing life’s colorful journey.
