ere's something I did for my students when I showed them Chappa Chappa last semester. It's mostly
Punjabi, I couldn't make sense of some. Also, since I did it in two adjacent columns it's showing up this
way . You can copy-paste into Word and make two columns. Once the first line of the lyrics and that
of the translation are aligned, it will be fine.
