ga ban ke panchi ga ban ke panchi ga
ga ban ke panchi ga ban ke panchi ga
koi anokha raag suna de koi anokha raag suna de
pani me bhi aag laga de pani me bhi aag laga de
pagal is duniya ko bana de pagal is duniya ko bana de
ga aur gaye ja ga aur gaye ja
ga ban ke panchi ga ban ke panchi ga

chup kyu ho gayi van ki rani
chup kyu ho gayi van ki rani
tune meri baat na mani tune meri baat na mani
suna wahi phir rut suhani suna wahi phir rut suhani
mai kehta hu ga mai kehta hu ga
ga ban ke panchi ga ban ke panchi ga

ped tu rasta roke kyu ai ped tu rasta roke kyu
hai kya tu pagal ya majnu hai kya tu pagal ya majnu hai
itna tujhko agar junun hai itna tujhko agar junun hai
dunga sar katwa dunga sar katwa
ga ban ke panchi ga ban ke panchi ga

shokh nadi tu kyu bahti hai shokh nadi tu kyu bahti hai
bekal kiske liye rahti hai bekal kiske liye rahti hai
jald bata tu kya kahti hai jald bata tu kya kahti hai
payegi warna saja payegi warna saja
ga ban ke panchi ga ga ban ke panchi ga

Sing, become a bird, sing, become a bird, sing,
Sing, become a bird, sing, become a bird, sing.
Unfurl a melody unheard,
Ignite the water, let it be stirred.
Make this world a maddened throng,
Sing on, sing along, sing, be strong.
Sing, become a bird, sing, become a bird, sing.

Why silent, queen of the wood's embrace?
Why silent, with a shadowed face?
You did not heed my pleading plea,
Yet hear again, the spring's decree.
I urge you, sing, I implore you, sing,
Sing, become a bird, sing, become a bird, sing.

Why does the tree block the path's way?
Are you mad, or lost in love's sway?
If such fervor burns within your core,
I'll have your head, I'll ask no more!
Sing, become a bird, sing, become a bird, sing.

Playful river, why do you flow?
For whom do you ache, and ebb and go?
Tell me quickly, what do you impart,
Or face the sentence, tear apart!
Sing, become a bird, sing, become a bird, sing.
