ae kanchi
kadak dhup aur thandi chhaon
ek akeli pura gaon
puchhoge ab uska naam, kya
kanchi re kanchi, kanchi re kanchi
kanchi re kanchi, kanchi re kanchi

kadak dhup aur thandi chhaon
ek akeli pura gaon
puchhoge ab uska naam, kya
kanchi re kanchi kanchi re
kanchi re kanchi kanchi re

choti me wo tufan bandhe, tufan bandhe
barkha me wo aag lagaye, aag lagaye
titli hai ya bijli hai wo
kya hai samajh na aye
hello ji hye hye haye
naino se duniya ghumaye
naino se duniya ghumaye
seedhi sachi baat hamesha boli sanchi
kanchi re kanchi re kanchi
kanchi re kanchi re kanchi

sanchi tu to kanch ke jaisi
tezz bhi hai par aanch ke jaise
mere desh ki ladki hai woh
duniya samajh ye jaye
hello ji hye hye haye
sato hi rang wo dikhaye
sari duniya uske dil se parkhi janchi
kanchi re kanchi

kadak dhup aur thandi chhaon
ek akeli pura gaon
puchhoge ab uska naam kanchi re
kanchi re kanchi, kanchi re kanchi

Oh, Kanchi, Kanchi,

Sun's harsh kiss, and shadows deep,
A village held within her keep.
You'll ask her name, a whispered plea,
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, wild and free.
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, eternally.

Sun's harsh kiss, and shadows deep,
A village held within her keep.
You'll ask her name, a whispered plea,
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, wild and free.
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, eternally.

In her braid, a tempest sleeps,
In the rain, a fire leaps.
Is she a butterfly, or lightning's grace?
A mystery in time and space.
Hello, and oh, the world she sees!
With eyes that bend realities.
True words she speaks, with open heart,
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, set apart.
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, eternally.

Kanchi, you are like glass, so bright,
And sharp like fire's burning light.
My country's daughter, bold and true,
The world will see, and understand you.
Hello, and oh, the colors bloom!
Her heart the world's most vibrant room.
The world, she weighs, with heart so bold,
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, pure as gold.
Sun's harsh kiss, and shadows deep,
A village held within her keep.
You'll ask her name, a whispered plea,
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, wild and free.
Kanchi, oh Kanchi, eternally.
