Diljit Dosanjh’s G.O.A.T. song meaning
The gist of the song is all about Diljit's success in his career. The lyrics of the song portrays how Diljit is trying to woo his lady, stating why she should be with him. The song G.O.A.T. basically talks about Diljit's hard-earned success and his culture that he takes pride in. Here are some stanzas from the song and its meaning.
Dekh Bollywood Wich Jine Khan Ne
Ohna Wich Behnda Sardar Goriye
Gabru Tan Vairi Naa’ Vi Mitha Bolda
Ni Tu Taan Pher Jatt Da Pyaar Kudiye
Rollie Gut Te Te Valaan Wali Pagg Dikhdi
Dekh Gaur Gaur Naal Gabru Cho Agg Dikhdi
Mitha Jatt Kaude Ghut Naa Main Peevan Jattiye
Mat Uchi Mera Mann Jama Neeva Jattiye
The lyrics state that even though there are many Khans in Bollywood, but there is also a Sardar sitting amongst them. Then he starts his chorus line which is repeated in each stanza stating to his partner that 'I even talk humbly with my enemies, but you are my love' think how will I treat you. The next stanza means that he has a 'roli' tied in his hand and has worn a special type of 'pagg'. His success seems like fire. He is a humble person and doesn't speak bitter, yet his high thinking keeps him down to the earth at all times.
Ho Chal Das Hi Dina Je Gall Tori Ni
Badi Lambi Success Di Story Ni
Kudey Banke Tan Vekh Kera Kaur Singh Di
Ni Dekh Mom De Statue Ch Vi Taur Singh Di
Chan-Chan Aakh’ke Bulaya Kar Tu
Lok Bhawein Kehnde Ne Star Goriye
These lines state the part where he is asking his lover if she wants to take a step forward in their relationship as his success story is much longer. He then tells her to take a chance and see his glory that is even imitated at the Madam Tussauds museum (Being the first Turbaned Sikh personality in the world to have a statue at the wax museum). The next stanza translates to - Even though people call me a star but you, my dear, can call me as your moon.
