kaash tu pujari hota aarti utari hoti
kaafi rezgaari hoti teri thali me
kaash tu bhikhari hota cash ka vyopari hota
kaudi na udhari hoti teri pyali me
haath zara sa garam karo bhai maal rako kuch aage
ghee ho na bhai, ghee ho na bhai
thoonk se chhonk na laage
haye daiyya re daiyya re, daiyya, daiyya, daiyya
mori maiyya re maiyya re, maiyya, maiyya, maiyya
haye daiyya re daiyya re, daiyya, daiyya, daiyya
mori maiyya re maiyya re, maiyya, maiyya, maiyya

abey patjhad neeche to utar rasta pakad ja ja ja bhai
agra ja bhai, apne yaar toh aise hai
taj kharidne nikle hai aur jeb me chhutte paise hai
abey saanp ke bil zara door se mill
abey bijli ke bill aise kaanp na hill

dard ki tokri bhar le
dard me jee le, dard me mar le
ab ke zindagi chakh le
haye daiyya re, daiyya re daiyya, daiyya, daiyya

If only you were a priest, performing the aarti's grace,
Your plate would overflow with coins, a blessed, shimmering space.
If only you were a beggar, trading in the tresses' gold,
No debt would cling to your cup, a story to be told.

Warm your hand a little, friend, offer a coin, extend,
No ghee, my friend, no ghee, I pray,
Let the fiery seasoning not offend.
Oh, dear God, oh, dear God, God, God, God,
My mother, oh, my mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.
Oh, dear God, oh, dear God, God, God, God,
My mother, oh, my mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.

Now, autumn, come down, find your way, depart, depart, oh friend,
Go to Agra, my friend, for such is the nature of our kind.
They seek to purchase the Taj, with only loose change to spend.
From the serpent's den, stay far;
And from the electric bill, don't tremble, don't bend.

Click, click, the heart's beat,
Click, click, the heart's beat.
Click, click, the heart's beat,
Click, click, the heart's beat.
Oh, the heart's beat, the heart's beat, the heart's beat, the heart's beat,
Oh, the heart's beat, the heart's beat, the heart's beat, the heart's beat,
Oh, the heart beat, oh, the heart beat,
Oh, my love, don't become foolish,
This heart, this heart, this heart, is the only refuge.
Leave it all, observe with care,
Take up the heart's employ.
Abandon all, leave it all,
Fill your basket with sorrow.
Live within sorrow, live within sorrow,
Savor this life's taste, now.
Oh, dear God, oh, dear God, God, God, God,
My mother, oh, my mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.
Oh, dear God, oh, dear God, God, God, God,
My mother, oh, my mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.
Oh, dear God, oh, dear God, God, God, God,
My mother, oh, my mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.
Oh, dear God, oh, dear God, God, God, God,
My mother, oh, my mother, Mother, Mother, Mother.
