This world, this world, this world, this world,
a carnival of counterfeit masks.
One face to show, another deep inside,
always it was so, always it will abide.
None have I seen, none have I known,
to change this tide, to shift this flow.
To change this tide, none have I known,
to change this tide, to shift this flow.

Oh, arrived, arrived at this carnival's gate,
a day of reckoning, a day of reckoning.
With a sickness for speaking truth, for hearing truth,
afflicts us all, afflicts us all.
This illness of ours, this illness of ours,
the whole world knows, oh, arrived,
oh, arrived at this carnival's gate,
a day of reckoning, a day of reckoning.

Behind the money, see them running,
running, running,
behind the money, see them running,
women of this age, of this age.
Salma or Sulakshana, yes, Sulakshana,
Salma or Sulakshana,
Rita or Kartari, Rita or Kartari, in this marketplace,
in this marketplace, the world’s deceit is its heart.
Oh, be silent, oh, my dear heart,
your wisdom has been destroyed, destroyed.
What do you know, what do you understand,
of a woman's heart, a woman's heart?
A woman may, a woman may, surrender her life,
but never breaks a true bond. Oh, arrived,
oh, arrived at this carnival's gate,
a day of reckoning, a day of reckoning.

We admit, evil deeds, yes, evil deeds,
we admit, evil deeds.
Theft and trickery, theft and trickery,
these crimes are born of,
poverty and despair, poverty and despair.
More grave than robbery is betrayal of the people.
Friends only stole, but this will not go unpunished.
Now the pots will break for all,
now everyone will be shaken.
Those companions will arise,
though they cry out in vain, they will not escape.
The government truck will take them, will take them all,
oh, arrived at this carnival's gate,
a day of reckoning, a day of reckoning.

With a sickness for speaking truth, for hearing truth,
afflicts us all, afflicts us all.
I am devoted, I sacrifice, I am devoted, I sacrifice.
Oh, the day of reckoning has come, oh, the day of reckoning has come.
I am devoted, I sacrifice, I am devoted, I sacrifice.
Oh, the day of reckoning has come, oh, the day of reckoning has come.
