khushi hazar sahi gum juda nahi hota
garib kitni bhi peele nasha nahi hota
baho me botal baho me botal botal me daru daru me meri nasha
ek bar jisne thodi si pili behosh wo ho gaya
ek bar jisne thodi si pili behosh wo ho gaya
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum

ho ek ghunt se kya hoga hai pyas samundar pine ki
aag piyenge tab to bujhegi aag hamare sine ki
hum albele hum alebele sholo se khele teri to hasti hai kya
hosh udade hamare abhi tak paida na aisa hua
hosh udade hamare abhi tak paida na aisa hua
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum

rang bhi utre nasha bhi utre chadke utar jaye dariya
rang bhi utre nasha bhi utre chadke utar jaye dariya
mere pyar ki aisi hai daru chadke na utre rasiya
sari umar tum piche firoge pike to dekho jara
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum
hum alebele sholo se khele teri to hasti hai kya
hosh udade hamare abhi tak paida na aisa hua
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum

gairo ki hogi waha kya jarurat masti khudi ki jaha hai
gairo ki hogi waha kya jarurat masti khudi ki jaha hai
apni jawani ka jitna nasha mujhko daru me utna kaha hai
hampe hamara chalta nahi jor jadu na apna chala
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum
baho me botal botal me daru daru me meri nasha
ek bar jisne thodi si pili behosh wo gaya
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum

sharbo me tum ho pyalo me tum ho khwabo me tum khyalo me tum
ke kadmo pe hum biche hi rahe magar humse tum piche hi rahe
tu chhod de mera rasta mai mujhse tera kya wasta
na bahkunga mai dikha le ada girunga na mai chahe bijli gira
jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum jhum

A thousand joys may come, but grief departs not,
The poor may drink and drink, yet find no solace.
The bottle in my arms, in the bottle, the liquor, in the liquor, my intoxication,
One who drinks a little, loses consciousness.
One who drinks a little, loses consciousness.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.

What can a single gulp achieve? Thirst demands the ocean's swallow!
To quench the fire within, we must drink the very flames.
We, the free spirits, play with fire - what are you, anyway?
A madness to leave you breathless, such has never been.
A madness to leave you breathless, such has never been.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.

Colors fade, intoxication fades, climbing, the river descends.
Colors fade, intoxication fades, climbing, the river descends.
My love's like this liquor, a lover never descends.
All your life you'll chase it, but try it and see.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.
We, the free spirits, play with fire - what are you, anyway?
A madness to leave you breathless, such has never been.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.

What need for strangers where self-intoxication reigns?
What need for strangers where self-intoxication reigns?
My youth's intoxication is far greater than liquor's.
I have no control over myself, nor does magic work.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.
The bottle in my arms, in the bottle, the liquor, in the liquor, my intoxication,
One who drinks a little, loses consciousness.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.

In the wine, you reside, in the chalices, you are, in dreams, you are, in thoughts, you are.
At your feet, we remain, yet from us, you always recede.
Leave my path, what do I have to do with you?
I won't lose myself, show me your ways, I won't fall, even if lightning strikes.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.
Sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway, sway.
