ae raju chala ja ye baju
jo kuch pyar se deta hai de de
thank you very much par ye kya re
ek rupiya kya deta hai hazar rupya la re
are ek rupiya kya deta hai hazar rupya la re
are ek rupiya kya deta hai hazar rupya la re
are la re nahi to tera rupiya wapas leke ja re
de de de are de dena de de de
hume jo mare dhakke chuda de uske chakke
na lena humse pange hum to karte hai dange
hum bin bulaye aate fati awaz me gaate
zor se taliyan bajate aur paisa leke jate
jo je me aiye karte gunde bhi hum se derte
karna na humse lafde warna hata denge hum kapde
de de de hay hay de de de hay hay hay

Across the river, Raju, go,
Give what love compels you to bestow.
"Thank you very much," but what is this play?
A single rupee? Bring a thousand today!
A single coin, a thousand you must bring!
A single coin, a thousand, let the song ring!
Or take your meager offering and flee!
Give, give, give! Oh, give it unto me!

We, the ones who break the wheels of fate,
Don't you dare with us to escalate.
Uninvited, voices cracked and raw,
We sing our songs, defying every law.
Clap your hands with thunderous sound,
And with the treasure, homeward bound.
We do as we desire, our spirits free,
Even the ruffians tremble when they see.
Don't you dare with us to clash,
Or we'll strip you bare, in a flash!
Give, give, oh, give! Give, give, give!
