baji laga wah chalne de chalale
paisa chale chalne de chalale de jaisa chale
ek ek do do be dune char sau barabar sau baki sau udhar
baji laga wah chalne de chalale de paisa chale
chalane de chalale de jaisa chale baji laga wah chalne
de chalale de paisa chale chalne de chalale de jaisa chale
chakkar chakkar chutaki shakkar andar sahu hua
chupke chupke chand sitare shankar rahu hua
ek aeke do do be dune char sau barbar sau baki sau udhar
ek aeke do do be dune char sau barbar sau baki sau udhar

hath ke mail kaa pasina yahi jo minto mein bheh jata hai
hath me chhap kaa hai nagina, yahi jo kushto me reh jata hai
are laga ha chavanni athanni athanni rupayya
wah chalata hai chalata hai chalane de pahiya
kala hai safed hai, yeh paisa hai nila hai, pila
kahi lal bhi hai yeh paisa hai nila hai pila
kahi lal bhi hai bade rang badalata hai dada
yeh girgit hai chalata hai dada
bari aayi aayi aayi aayei aayi
baji laga wah chalane de chalale de paisa chale
chalane de chalale de jaisa chale

paise kaa bukhar hai chadhe to bhala hai jo utre bura
bura hai chadhe to bhala hai jo utre bura
bura haiajab bekrari hai sunhari sanwari hai
bari aayi aayi aayi aayi aayi
baaji laga wah chalne de paisa chale
chalne de chalade jaisa chale baji laga wah chalne

chakkar chakkar chutki shakkar andar sahu hua
chupke chupke chand sitare shankar rahu hua

Let the game begin, let it spin, let it flow,
Let the money dance, let it spin, let it go as it will.
One and one, two and two, twice four, a hundred, the same, and a hundred there.
Let the game begin, let it spin, let the money dance,
Let it spin, let it go as it will, let the game begin,
Let it spin, let the money dance, let it spin, let it go as it will.

Round and round, a pinch of sugar within, I am consumed.
Silently, the moon and stars, Shankar, I am consumed.
One and one, two and two, twice four, a hundred times a hundred, the same, and a hundred there.
One and one, two and two, twice four, a hundred, the same, and a hundred there.

The sweat of the hands, a fleeting thing, vanishing in moments,
A gem of the imprint upon the hand, remaining in the dust.
Oh, a quarter, half, a half, a rupee,
It moves, it moves, let the wheel spin.
Black is white, this money, blue and yellow,
Sometimes even red, this money, blue and yellow,
Sometimes even red, it changes colors, grandfather,
It is a chameleon, it moves, grandfather.
The turn has come, come, come, come, come.
Let the game begin, let it spin, let the money dance,
Let it spin, let it go as it will.

The fever of money, to rise is good, to fall is bad,
To fall is bad, a strange restlessness, a golden ride.
The turn has come, come, come, come, come.
Let the game begin, let it spin, let the money dance,
Let it spin, let it go as it will, let the game begin,
Let it spin, let the money dance, let it spin, let it go as it will.

Round and round, a pinch of sugar within, I am consumed.
Silently, the moon and stars, Shankar, I am consumed.
Move, move, let the money dance,
Move, move, let it go as it will.
Move, move, let the money dance,
Move, move, let it go as it will.
Move, move, let the money dance,
Move, move, let it go as it will.
Move, move, let the money dance,
Move, move, let it go as it will.
Move, move, let the money dance,
Move, move, let it go as it will.
