mere chane hai chatpate bhaiya aur bade latani
aur kaise chaav se khaate dekho ram aur ramjaani
aur chunu munu ki jubaan bhi ho gayi pani pani
aur kahe kabir suno hai sadhu suno guru ki bani
chane jor gram babu main laya majedaar
chane jor gram
chane jor gram babu main laya majedaar
chane jor gram

arey mother se kaaji banto chnd dino ka thath
aur padh likh kar sab chal doge tum apni apni baat
phir koi tumme hoga afsar koi governor laat
tab main aaunga daftar tumhre main aaunga daftar tumhre
liye chane ki chaat
chane jor gram babu main laya majedaar
chane jor gram
chane jor gram babu main laya majedaar
chane jor gram

Crisp chickpeas, a fiery delight I bring,
Crisp chickpeas!
Crisp chickpeas, a fiery delight I bring,
Crisp chickpeas!

My chickpeas, a spiced dance on the tongue,
Brother, they're the best!
See Ram, see Ramjani, how joyfully they're sung,
And with what zest!
Chunu and Munnu, their mouths, they overflow,
With a watery desire.
Kabir whispers, listen, brothers, to the seed you sow,
To your soul's fire!
Crisp chickpeas, a fiery delight I bring,
Crisp chickpeas!
Crisp chickpeas, a fiery delight I bring,
Crisp chickpeas!

From schoolyard to judge, a fleeting, bright display,
A temporary throne.
You'll scatter, each on a different, twisting way,
When the seed is sown.
Some, a governor, some, an officer's decree,
And the world at their command.
Then I shall come, to your office, you'll see,
With a plate in my hand.
Crisp chickpeas, a fiery delight I bring,
Crisp chickpeas!
Crisp chickpeas, a fiery delight I bring,
Crisp chickpeas!
