Joy of Punjab 1 : Balle Balle...!!!
Jugni is an age-old narrative device used in Punjabifolk music and sung at Punjabi weddings in India, Pakistan, US, Canada, Australia and UK. The word literally means 'Female Firefly', in folk music it stands in for the poet-writer who uses Jugni as an innocent observer to make incisive, often humorous, sometimes sad but always touching observations. In spiritual poetry Jugni means the spirit of life, or essence of life. The late Legendary Alam Lohar (Punjab, Pakistan) and late Singer & Humorist Asa Singh Mastana (Punjab, India) are credited with popularizing this poetry from early Sufi spiritual writings.
Balle Balle (Punjabi: ਬੱਲੇ ਬੱਲੇ, Hindi: बल्ले बल्ले, Urdu: بلّے بلّے) is a phrase used in many Punjabi songs to depict a feeling of happiness. It does not have an exact translation and would be used in the same way as the English expressions, "Hooray!!" or "Hurrah!". Balle Balle is a Punjabi expression used while enjoying things. It is an expression of joy.
