banku bhaiya, banku bhaiya kabhi na haare, banku bhaiya
kar dete hai waade nyare, banku bhaiya
are chakkar pe chakkar chalate hai hamre banku bhaiya
atka de, jhataka de
hathi bhi aaye to ulta hi latka de, banku bhaiya
ae re re re re re re banku bhaiya
banku bhaiya kabhi na haare, banku bhaiya
kar dete the waade nyare, banku bhaiya

banku re banku re banku bhaiya

din me dikha dete hai wo taare, raat me suraj ke nachare
ulati ganga ulate dhare, kaho to kar de
bhoot unse bhage ghabrakar, jo nahi maane dekh le aakar
ghaagar me wo pura sagar kaho to bhar de
unko koi jo dekhe to, koi jo jaane to
daato me ungali daba le
unke kaam nirale hai, chakrane wale hai
aise gunwale hai banku bhaiya
banku bhaiya, banku bhaiya kabhi na haare, banku bhaiya
kar dete hai waade nyare, banku bhaiya
are chakkar pe chakkar chalate hai hamre banku bhaiya

ho taad pe chadhke aam mathode patthar se pani ko nichode
sher ke dum pakde to naa chhod e aise hai wo
are lohe ko chutki se masal de, nadi ke upar paidal chal de
unko samundar meetha jal de, aise hai wo
dekho lambe na mote hai, kehne ko chhote hai
lekin bade hai irade
dekho kaun wo rustam hai usme itna dum hai
unko harate banku bhaiya
banku bhaiya, banku bhaiya kabhi na haare, banku bhaiya
kar dete hai waade nyare, banku bhaiya
are chakkar pe chakkar pe chakkar pe chakkar pe chakkar pe
chakkar chalate hai hamare banku bhaiya
atka de, jhataka de
hathi bhi aaye to ulta hi latka de, banku bhaiya
banku bhaiya banku bhaiya banku bhaiya

Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo, never does he yield, Bunkoo!
Promises he makes, a world revealed, Bunkoo!
Spinning, spinning, always on the go, our Bunkoo!
He'll ensnare, he'll shock,
Even an elephant, he'll hang it off the clock, Bunkoo!
Ay re re re re re re, Bunkoo!
Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo, never does he yield, Bunkoo!
Promises he makes, a world revealed, Bunkoo!
Spinning, spinning, always on the go,
Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo!

Stars he shows at break of day, suns dance at night's sway,
Rivers backward, if you say, he'll make them flow this way.
Ghosts flee in fright from his command, those who doubt, come understand,
Seas in a jar, at his demand, he'll fill them with his hand.
If one should see him, if one should know,
Fingers in mouths they'll go.
His feats are strange, they make you reel,
Such virtues, truly real, Bunkoo!
Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo, never does he yield, Bunkoo!
Promises he makes, a world revealed, Bunkoo!
Spinning, spinning, always on the go, our Bunkoo!

Up the palm, he'll climb and pluck, stones to squeeze the water's luck,
Hold a lion's tail, he won't let up, such is he, the pluck!
Iron he'll crush with just a pinch, across rivers, he'll never flinch,
The ocean gives him water fresh, such is he, the clinch!
Look, he's not tall, he's not broad, words are small, but he's God,
But his spirit is the word.
Who is this hero, with such a force,
Bunkoo can take the course!
Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo, never does he yield, Bunkoo!
Promises he makes, a world revealed, Bunkoo!
Spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning, spinning,
Spinning, always on the go, our Bunkoo!
He'll ensnare, he'll shock,
Even an elephant, he'll hang it off the clock, Bunkoo!
Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo, oh Bunkoo!
