gau khushi me gau gau khushi me gau gau
har gam ko mitau har gam ko mitau
roto ko hasau jo mujhko bhulaye
mai paas na jau mai paas na jau kuch aur satau
gau khushi me gau gau khushi me gau gau

duniya ki kahani sun meri jubani
duniya ki kahani sun meri jubani
gam dil ka budapa gam dil ka budapa
khushiya jawani khushiya jawani
fir kyo na mai gau gau
gau khushi me gau gau khushi me gau

I'll sing in joy, I'll sing in joy, I will,
Erase each sorrow, I will, erase and still
The tears of those who weep, a smile I'll bring,
But from those who forget, my soul takes wing.
I won't draw near, I won't draw near, instead,
I'll sing of joy, of joy, I sing instead.

The world's tale told, in words that I can say,
The world's tale told, in this, my humble way.
The heart's grief, old age, its weary plight,
The heart's grief, old age, that dims the light.
But joy, youth's bloom, in vibrant hue,
But joy, youth's bloom, forever new.
Then why not sing, why not embrace the now?
I'll sing in joy, I'll sing in joy somehow.
