baghi re aa baghi re baghi re aa baghi re
kali kali mati sani aatma ko dhona paya
aadha ghar man liye aadha kandhe pe utha
ek sadi ho chali aankh na laagi re
bhori bhi laal hai raat ki jagi re
baaghi re aa baaghi re

na bhi se nu te ho tor bhayo re bhayo
na sar par bhi bhunkar bhayo re bhayo
bhayo re bhayo bhayo re bhayo
sagre bhi halki saudar bhayo re bhayo re
bhayo re bhayo re bhayo re punye ke khel mein
papi ka bhagi re bhori bhi laal hai
raat ki jaagi re baghi re aa baghi re

na jamdut na kaal bhayo re bhayo
na vikram betaal bhayo re bhayo
bhayo re bhayo chambal nadi ke
gadhiyaal bhayo re bhayo re
bhayo re bhayo re bhayo re
pair mein dhul hai rooh mein dagi re
bhori bhi laal hai raat ki jagi re
baghi re aa baghi re

Rebel, oh rebel, come, rebel,
to wash the soul in the black earth's embrace.
Half-home held within, half-burdened on the shoulder,
a single, simple eye, un-linked, un-seeing.
The innocent, too, are red, awake in the night,
rebel, oh rebel.

Not even the self, my brother, my brother,
nor the head, burned by fate, my brother, my brother.
Brother, oh brother, brother, oh brother,
all is light, a burden, my brother, my brother.
Brother, oh brother, brother, in the game of merit,
the sinner's share, the innocent, too, are red,
awake in the night, rebel, oh rebel.

Not the angel of death, nor time itself, my brother, my brother,
nor Vikram and Betal, my brother, my brother.
Brother, oh brother, the gharial of the Chambal river,
my brother, my brother.
Brother, oh brother, brother, dust on the feet, scars upon the soul.
The innocent, too, are red, awake in the night,
rebel, oh rebel.
