Start planning the intervention now: Something will eventually have to be done to prevent me from watching this video 24/7. Sometimes I feel like a target audience of one--and someone is out there gunning for me with a high-powered rifle.

(The chorus translates as "Look out, youth! Grampas are getting bhangra".)

Rab ne tott ditti na tangi
Ghar vich raunak rang birangi
Oh Rab ne tott ditti na tangi

Upparon sehat jina di changi
Lak lak shukkar manaunde ne

Hm. I knew that 'jawan' meant "infantryman" in English, but didn't realize it meant "young man" in Urdu / Hindi and Punjabi until now.

I knew the word from Persian, but didn't realise what it connotations were in northern Indic languages.

[lhn.livejournal.com]

Is it cognate with iuvenis/joven/young etc.?

[muckefuck.livejournal.com]

That was my mnemonic for learning it, but I don't know enough about Iranian sound changes to more than speculate on whether this is coincidence or not. They tend to be pretty radical, leading me to believe it is, but I'm 2,000 miles away from Pokornoy's and certitude.
