botal me band jawani pile pile diljani
botal me band jawani pile pile diljani
haslo jine walo se or mare huo ko rolo
haslo jine walo se or mare huo ko rolo
ram bolo ram bolo ram bolo
botal me band jawani pile pile diljani

aisi pile pine wale pikar dil me aag lagale
kan pakad le o matwale
tauba karle kasme khale
is petrol se jal jaoge apni aankhe kholo
ram bolo ram bolo bolo bolo
botal me band jawani pile pile diljani

pine walo pachtaoge hosh udenge gir jaoge
kutto se muh chatwaoge ek tamasha ban jaoge
tod do pyale faik do botal mere piche holo
ram bolo ram bolo ram bo bo bo bolo
haye botal me band jawani pile pile diljani

pike aaya hu gharwali
log na samjhe mujhe mawali
pitenge or denge gali mere piche bajegi tali
gharwali gharwala aaya ab darwaja kholo
ram bolo ram bolo ram bo bo bo bolo

In a bottle, youth confined, drink deep, oh heart's delight,
In a bottle, youth confined, drink deep, oh heart's delight,
Laugh with the living, weep for the lost in night,
Laugh with the living, weep for the lost in night,
Chant the name, the name, the name so bright,
In a bottle, youth confined, drink deep, oh heart's delight.

Thus you drink, and set your soul ablaze,
Hearken close, you wild, in a drunken haze,
Repent, take oaths, through these dark days,
This fuel will burn, your vision's maze,
Chant the name, the name, in endless praise,
In a bottle, youth confined, drink deep, oh heart's delight.

Drinkers, regret will seize your core,
Senses lost, you'll stumble and implore,
Mouths to dogs, to shame, you'll pour,
A spectacle, forevermore,
Shatter the glass, cast the bottles to shore,
Follow me now, and forever explore,
Chant the name, the name, forevermore,
In a bottle, youth confined, drink deep, oh heart's delight.

I stagger home, the liquor's hold,
They see me not, a story told,
They'll beat me down, my life grows cold,
And taunts and jeers will then unfold,
Wife, dear wife, unlock the door, so bold,
Chant the name, the name, the story told.
