A quick march begins,
March gives way to April's breath,
April fades to May's embrace,
May surrenders to June's warmth.

Into every alley we descend,
Into every shadowed lane,
Secretly, we'll seek you out.
We'll butcher the hen, smash the eggs,
This Sunday, or the next, we'll feast.

From Bombay to Pune, Delhi's sprawl,
We'll hunt you down, a feline's call.
Hide, hide, hide, hide, hide, hide, hide,
Where will you flee, little mouse?
Where will you flee, and hide?
Into every shadowed lane.

Your cunning will fail, I know,
Ten, eleven, twelve, your time is nigh.
Your tricks will fail, your game is done.
Why do you dare to challenge us?
You'll fall, exhausted, overcome.
The mango falls when ripe, my son.
Oh yes, the mango falls when ripe.
Because
You are mango, we are the knife.
You are thief, we are the bandit.
You are mango, we are the knife.
You are thief, we are bandit, son, we are father.
You are a whistle, we are the horn,
Horn, horn, horn.
Horn, horn, horn.
Where will you flee, the horn?
Oh, horn, oh horn, oh horn.
Where will you flee, hide, hide?
Into every shadowed lane.

I know the secret of those lost eyes,
I know every hidden truth, every secret.
My queen, if you'd just cooperate,
Go away, I will not say,
Go away, I will not say.
No matter how you beg, no matter how you plead.
Go away, I will not say, your "no, no, no."
We both will see, let's go somewhere,
Or we'll never see the light.
Oh, Pa Ni Sa Re Sa Ni Sa Re Sa Re Sa Re,
We both will see, or we'll never see the light.
Though your mouth may not speak, speak,
Give us the signal, yes, the signal.
Yes, tell us that secret, introduce us to her.

You make promises to us, yes, we will not change, yes.
By the burning flame, by the setting sun,
By the oath of your treasure chest, by the oath of your daughter,
By the oath of the commander, by the oath of your king,
By the oath of your tabla, yes, by the oath of your music,
Quick march, February, January.
Khandivali, Borivali, into every shadowed lane,
Into every shadowed lane.

Listen to our words, Parveen Bhai,
Listen to our words, Parveen Bhai,
In your house, her shadow lingers,
In your house, her shadow lingers.
If you hide any secret,
If you hide any secret,
We'll shave your head, two barbers we'll employ.
We'll shave your head, two barbers we'll employ.
Greetings, gentle sister-in-law, oh sister-in-law,
Oh sister-in-law, greetings, gentle sister-in-law,
Give the key to the safe, give the key to the safe,
If you refuse to give the key,
If you refuse to give the key,
There will be a disaster, there will be a disaster.
There will be a disaster.
You do not know us, you have not recognized us.
You are the ant, we are the mosquito.
You are the flower, we are the stone.
You are oil, we are perfume.
You are sixty, we are seventy.
Seventy-one, seventy-two, seventy-three, seventy-four.
Seventy-four, seventy-four, seventy-four.
Seventy, sixty, forty, twenty, seventeen.
Danger, danger, danger.
