Karmacy - Blood Brothers

Song Inspiration: This song is one of our most important pieces, both emotionally and sociologically. It utilizes two languages, Gujarati and English, to paint an honest picture of the often overlooked hardships involved in leaving one’s motherland. This story of two brothers, one who emigrates to America and the other who prefers to remain in his native land, is presented as a dialogue that spans both time and place. This heated discussion strives to capture the essence of the immigrant experience: the reconciliation of old and new within a constant struggle to regain balance. -Swap Official Lyrics Swap/Nimo Eye hie soo chaleche yaar, Kusoo nai baila chokri ne paisa Mare tho America javuche ne millionaire thavuche Evu chai, thya su karse ena kartha aiya re Thane kabar nathi pardthi, India maa kasu nathi Akho divas bhanvanu ne cricket ramvanu pan ena pachi su Papa su bolse, mami tho radsej, kochu thane thari sate badha tho lades Ema su, kasija, ave ooh jowchu, mari jingi pachi lochu avirite moto tochu Badha ne kaida ooh garib nati revano, Badha ne kaidas thya America ma revado Navai lageche, dharma ni yaad nai, todik dook bi nai, Lagan karis koni sathe Mare pivuche, tho pivade ah navu pani Tho jaa, pun maro dil tho resej Hindustani Chorus Maru dhil, my heart, maru loi, my blood from the start Mari nath, my family two worlds apart, How do I move on bhai, Kevirithe jais, cuz no matter where I go, My sould is in the same place Nimo dear bro its been a long time since we talked, four years since I stepped off that plane, how’s mom and pops as for me I’m workin’ hard learnin’ the ropes of the game I went from a nobody to lots of fortune and some fame In my own eyes, I think I’m doing really well, Got lots of money so tell nobody to worry about my wealth As for my health, well, it could be a little better But take care of yourself, love your bro, I’ll storm through this weather Swap Maro bhai, mane lageche ke thane bho faveche Saru tho jivan jivo pun thabyat kevi lageche Mami ne papa ni yaad aveche ke bulighayo Emni thabyat bagdeche jare thu pasai pache padigayo Harigayo, ah jingi aveche ne jaiche Saru to maro bhai, saro bhai, thu maro dhai chu, Tho maro bhailu, thu maro dhil chu Seni mate avirete jivan jivu chu Nimo/Swap Hello my brother how are you Bhai kem che You like my new suit just got it tailored Sergio valente Ah mari vow meena ne apri baby chivani, besija kasu kah, cha, nasto ke pani Here’s a gift for your wife, a baby doll for your girl, I can’t wait till its my turn to bring a new life into this world Tho lagan kyare karis, threes varus pathigaya There’s no time for all that and I refuse to do a biodata Family joyeche, pun lageche ke maligayo, Thu ne thara paisa, tharo lagan thaygayo Let it go, let it flow, I already know where I stand What I have, my two hands, my one life and my fam Aah vaat, kari che, ke thu kali kali boluchu, Why do you keep on asking me this, you know that you know its true Evu che?
