suno re suno re logo meri kahani
kahti hai duniya mujhe bumbai ki rani
mera naam hai chaupati, mera naam hai chaupati
mere ghar me na koi tab hai aur na koi nal
mujhko to ashnan karaye sagar ka jal thal
mauj kinaro se takraye
jhag uski sabun ban jaye
badan nikhare, mera rup savare
ho gayi duniya budhi lekin dhali na meri jawani
ho dhali na meri jawani
are kahti hai duniya mujhe bumbai ki rani
mera naam hai chaupati, mera naam hai chaupati

bhel bhel bhel puri bhel puri khatta mitha ragda
muh ke chatoro ka aapas me jhagda
ragde pe ragda jhagde pe jhagda
lafde pe lafda
sindhi punjabi gujrati ya marathi
dilli up wale ho ya parsi madrasi
burke wale faujan, up ki dhobhan
sawli bangallan, gori punjaban
koi hai marathan to koi gujratan
pahan biwi sali dilli ki laali
chat chat patto ko karti jugali
haatho haath bikta hai yaha puri pani
haatho haath bikta hai yaha puri pani
kahti hai duniya mujhe bumbai ki rani
mera naam hai chaupati, mera naam hai chaupati

champi, sar jo tera chakraye ya dil duba jaye
aaja pyare paas hamare kaahe ghabraye, kaahe ghabraye
champi tel malish, tel malish champi
ek rupay wali ya das rupay wali
ha ha das rupay wali
thande thande ret pe ye seth ji hai lete
aankhe band karke langota lapete
aaye hai makhmal ke gadde ko chhod ke
mayke jarur gayi hogi sethani
mayke jarur gayi hogi sethani
kahti hai duniya mujhe bumbai ki rani
mera naam hai chaupati, mera naam hai chaupati

lo ye bhi aa gaye
pyar nahi to zindagi ek adhura khwab hai
jisme na rang na khushboo ho wo bhi koi gulab hai
pyar nahi to zindagi ha ek adhura khwab hai
jisme na rang na khushboo ho wo bhi koi gulab hai
duniya ki baat to have let it
ho din ho ya raat to have let it

duniya ki baat to have let it
are din ho ya raat to have let it
pyar liye ja pyar diye ja
dance kiye ja romance kiye ja
pyar nahi to zidnagi ha ek adhura khwab hai
jisme na rang na khushboo ho wo bhi koi gulab hai

aaj lagale dum me dum
mit jaye gam rah jaye hum
aaj lagale dum me dum
mit jaye gam rah jaye hum
duniya ki baat to have let it
ho din ho ya raat to have let it

duniya ki baat to have let it
din ho ya raat to have let it
sutta laga aane de nasha
sutta laga aane de nasha
aish kiya ja mauj kiye ja
o pyar kiye ja pyar kiye ja
aaj lagale dum me dum
mit jaye gam rah jaye hum
aaj lagale dum me dum
mit jaye gam rah jaye hum

kardi hai barbad nashe ne inki bhari jawani
kahti hai duniya mujhe bumbai ki rani
mera naam hai chaupati, mera naam hai chaupati
naam hai chaupati, mera naam hai chaupati

Hearken, hear ye, people, my tale unfolds,
They call me Bombay's Queen, the story told.
Chowpatty's my name, the shore's embrace,
No tap, no well, in this sacred space.
The ocean's tides, my cleansing flow,
Where water meets land, my spirit grows.
Waves crash and foam, a soapy white,
To polish my form, and bathe in light.
Though ages pass, and worlds decay,
My youth remains, come what may.
Oh, they call me Bombay's Queen, they say,
Chowpatty's my name, where dreams hold sway.

Bhel, bhel, bhel puri, a tangy delight,
Sweet and sour, a vibrant fight.
A tangle of tongues, a joyful feud,
For ragda's spice, in a hungry mood.
Sindhi, Punjabi, Gujarati too,
Marathi's blend, a colorful view.
From Delhi's heart, to Madras' shore,
Parsis gather, and many more.
Veiled ladies, soldiers brave,
Washerwomen, from the Ganges wave.
Bengalis dark, Punjabis fair,
Marathis strong, and Gujaratis rare.
Brides of Delhi, with vermillion bright,
Chewing on leaves, with sheer delight.
Puri and water, a hurried trade,
Quickly devoured, no time to fade.
Oh, they call me Bombay's Queen, you see,
Chowpatty's my name, eternally.

Champi, massage for troubled head,
Or a sinking heart, with fears to shed?
Come close, dear friend, why the fright?
Champi, the oil, to make things right.
One rupee's worth, or ten you crave?
Ha! Ha! Ten rupees, the price to save!
On cooling sand, a merchant lies,
Eyes closed, a loincloth's disguise.
Leaving the velvet, soft and deep,
His wife's gone home, secrets to keep.
His wife's gone home, a hidden plea.
Oh, they call me Bombay's Queen, for all to see,
Chowpatty's my name, wild and free.

And here they come, the lovers' plea,
If love is lost, life's just a dream, you see.
Without color, without scent,
Is it truly a rose, heaven-sent?
Let the world chatter, let it be,
Day or night, just let it be.
Love embrace, and love impart,
Dance and romance, from the heart.
If love is lost, life's just a dream, you see,
Without color, without scent,
Is it truly a rose, heaven-sent?

Breathe deep the smoke, let worries cease,
Let sorrow fade, and find our peace.
Breathe deep the smoke, let worries cease,
Let sorrow fade, and find our peace.
Let the world chatter, let it be,
Day or night, just let it be.
Smoke it up, let the high descend,
Smoke it up, let the high descend.
Live it up, enjoy the bliss,
Love, and love again, with a kiss.
Breathe deep the smoke, let worries cease,
Let sorrow fade, and find our peace.
Breathe deep the smoke, let worries cease,
Let sorrow fade, and find our peace.

Wasted youth, in a haze of delight,
They call me Bombay's Queen, shining bright.
Chowpatty's my name, echoing wide,
My name is Chowpatty, where dreams reside.
Chowpatty's the name, forever the name.
