jivan ki gaadi chalti hai
jivan ki gaadi chalti hai
kuch rukti phir chalti
jivan ki gaadi chalti gaadi chalti

unchi nichi raaho me
jo nadiya chali na chalti gaadi chalti
jivan ki gaadi chalti hai

koi sukhi hai koi dukhi hai
koi gaata rota
koi gaata rota
kamar jhukaye khada hai koi
paanv pasare sota
paanv pasare sota

kabhi savera ho to sukh ka
kabhi savera ho to sukh ka
dukh ki sandhya dhalti
aansu aur geeto ki duniya
rahti sada badalti
aansu aur geeto ki duniya
rahti sada badalti
gaadi chalti
jivan ki gaadi chalti hai

jivan ki gaadi chalti hai
kuch rukti phir chalti
jivan ki gaadi chalti gaadi chalti
jivan ki gaadi chalti gaadi chalti

The chariot of Life, it journeys on,
The chariot of Life, it journeys on.
Some pause, then rise, their motion renewed,
The chariot of Life, it journeys, it moves.

Through paths that climb and paths that fall,
Like rivers flowing, the chariot rolls.
The chariot of Life, it journeys on.
Some find joy, some bear a sorrow's weight,
Some sing, some weep in lament's state.

Some, bowed with burden, stand and wait,
While others, outstretched, seek slumber's gate.

When dawn unveils a season of delight,
The dusk of sorrow slowly fades from sight.
A world of tears, a world of song,
Forever shifting, where we belong.
Forever shifting, where we belong.
The chariot moves.
The chariot of Life, it journeys on,
The chariot of Life, it journeys on.
Some pause, then rise, their motion renewed,
The chariot of Life, it journeys, it moves.
The chariot of Life, it journeys, it moves.
