or agar tum log nahi maanoge

bakre wale baba ka dawa, suno gaur se
kabhi tumko rakhunga makkhi bnanakar
kabhi main udaunga machhar banakar
yahi par gutar gu, gutar gu karoge
rakhunga mai tumko kabutar banakar
ye hai mere dawa ho mere dawa
bakre wala baba ho tera dawa
ye hai mere dawa ho mere dawa
bakre wala baba ho tera dawa

jo ho accha khasa to bimar kar du
tujhe jindagi bhar ko bekar kar du
are bujurgo ne jo jindagi ki dua di
wo rah jayegi chandu khaane me aadhi
ye hai mere dawa ho mere dawa
bakre wala baba ho tera dawa
ye hai mere dawa ho mere dawa
bakre wala baba ho tera dawa

baitha rahega jaise ullu ho kat ka
aye na mere ghar ka rahega na ghat ka
ye hai mere dawa ho mere dawa
bakre wala baba ho tera dawa
ye hai mere dawa ho mere dawa
bakre wala baba ho tera dawa
mod kar muh jamane ki raftar se
are jindagi aa mere sath chhod de
tujhko itna jahrila bana dunga mai
saanp ko kat le saanp dum tod de

The Goat-Man, he gives counsel,
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel:
To enter the den, a wrong path, a wrong path,
Once drawn in, linger but an hour,
To arrive and depart, a wrong path.
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel,
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel:
To enter the den, a wrong path,
The Goat-Man.

From the den, a fresh word arrives,
A fresh word today, a fresh word,
From the den, a fresh word arrives,
Now, let not humans quarrel among themselves,
That grave with no life within, that word,
That grave with no life within, that word,
To blow life into it, a wrong path.
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel.

Drink alike, we shall pour alike,
Neither you desist, nor we,
Drink alike, we shall pour alike,
Neither you desist, nor we,
No intoxication exists in this age,
That is not destined for my den.
The Goat-Man is renowned,
And the drinker, bound by habit,
Addiction, in Punjabi, "Lat" means kick,
But the meaning of this kick is habit.
This is the Goat-Man's word,
If addiction has gripped you,
To inflict this addiction on another, a wrong path.
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel.

Should you stray, you'll fall silent,
Should you stray, you'll fall silent,
Drink the "chandoo" and lie face down asleep,
Drink the "chandoo" and lie face down asleep,
Considering the den your home,
Considering the den your home,
To forget your true home, a wrong path.
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel.

What garment is unstained?
What garment is unstained?
Who is untouched by intoxication?
Who is untouched by intoxication?
For solace of the heart, take a little,
We know you shall not endure it,
Take a little, for the sake of experience,
Take a little, for the sake of experience,
Otherwise, to drink and pour, a wrong path.
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel.

Youth is tender, innocent,
Do not pour so much that they cannot return,
Should they come, ensnare them thus,
So far away from you they cannot go.
The Goat-Man, he gives counsel,
To enter the den, a wrong path,
Once drawn in, linger but an hour,
To arrive and depart, a wrong path.

This was my advice,
And if you, people, will not heed,
Then listen to my claim,
Listen carefully to the Goat-Man's claim,
Sometimes I shall make you a fly,
Sometimes I shall make you a mosquito,
Here you shall coo, coo,
I shall make you a pigeon,
This is my claim, oh my claim,
Goat-Man, your claim,
This is my claim, oh my claim,
Goat-Man, your claim.

If you are well, I shall make you ill,
I shall make your life useless.
The blessings of life that the elders gave,
They will be halved in the den.
This is my claim, oh my claim,
Goat-Man, your claim,
This is my claim, oh my claim,
Goat-Man, your claim.

You will sit like a wooden owl,
Neither of my house, nor of the world.
This is my claim, oh my claim,
Goat-Man, your claim,
This is my claim, oh my claim,
Goat-Man, your claim.
Turning your face from the world's pace,
Oh life, leave me and depart,
I shall make you so venomous,
That the serpent, bitten by you, shall die.
