life saali life saali kaha rahi bandu
ye to pyare ho gayi fata sa tambu
aaju baju upar nice aage piche dundu
koi na koi laga raha hai bumboo

sunle ye song pyare chahe jaha
puche more dundu ke lambu

bumboo ye b b bumboo

bumboo ye b b bumboo

chhod u gaa nahi bumboo pakde lunga
waat kudi wo iss tarha band baji re kuch iss tarha
fisalta nahi hai maa kasam smart ka babu silsila
chain ho ya dukh pyare kaha hai sukun pyare
tension vension dur b b bumboo ye b b bumboo
bumboo ye b b bum boo b b bumboo ye b b bumboo
bumboo ye b b bumboo

fasne wala khud fasa thokne wala phir thuka
aisi laagi hai aaj kal khud hi ye saala hans raha
sham ho ya noor pyare jhum ke na ghum pyare

Life, a lover, life, a lover, where does she reside, friend?
A fragile tent, now, my dear, her fleeting end.
Around, above, below, before, behind, I seek,
Yet none but the bamboo, its sharp words speak.

Hear this song, my dear, wherever you may roam,
Ask my heart, searching, of its bamboo home.
B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo

I won't let go, the bamboo I embrace,
Like a wedding's drum, a dance of fate.
I swear, a smart man's babu, he won't lose his pace.
Joy or sorrow, dear, where lies true peace?
Tension banished, far, B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo, B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo

The one who ensnares, is ensnared in turn,
The one who strikes, is struck, the lesson to learn.
These days, it's a joke, a jest I now discern.
Twilight's glow, or light's embrace, dance with a sway,
It will shatter, yes, B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo, B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo, B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo, B, B, Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
Bamboo, it's B, B, Bamboo
