la la la la la la
la la la la la
meri umar ke naujawano
dil lagana ho diwano
la la la la la
la la la la la

are bas karo ye kya
la la la la laga rakha hai
jhanshi pe rail ghadi
jhanshi pe rail ghadi
atak gayi amma
fansi pe teri beti
latak gayi amma
latak gayi amma
latak gayi amma

are ghughat nikal ke wo
nikli thi bada lamba
raste me wo khada tha
bijli ka jaise khambha
bijli ke khambhe se wo
bijli ke khambhe se wo chitak gayi amma
fansi pe teri beti latak gayi amma
fansi pe teri beti latak gayi amma
fansi pe teri beti latak gayi amma

aatak gayi amma, jhatak gayi amma
jhatak gayi amma, satak gayi amma

Lalala, lalala
Lalala, lalala
Young hearts, in their prime,
If love you seek, through time,
Lalala, lalala
Lalala, lalala

Enough, this sound, this "la"
What meaning holds, this "la"?
On Jhansi's plains, the iron horse,
On Jhansi's plains, changed course,
Your daughter, upon the scaffold's sway,
Hangs now, dear mother, come what may,
Hangs now, dear mother, in disarray,
Hangs now, dear mother, come what may.

She emerged, veiled, in her grace,
A journey long, a timeless space,
A pillar of light, in the road's embrace,
A lightning bolt, a fateful trace,
From the pillar, her spirit did break,
Your daughter, upon the scaffold's stake,
Your daughter, her life, the gods did take,
Your daughter, for whom the mountains ache.
