mera rang de
mera rang de basanti chola maaye rang de
mera rang de basanti chola maaye rang de
mera rang de basanti chola rang de rang de
rang de basanti chola maaye rang de

nikle hai veer jiya le yu apna seena tane
hans hans ke jaan lutane aazad savera lane
marke kaise jeete hai is duniya ko batlane
tere laal chale hai maaye ab teri laaj bachane
aazadi ka shola banke khun rago me dola

mera rang de
mera rang de basanti chola maaye rang de
mera rang de basanti chola maaye rang de
mera rang de basanti chola rang de rang de
rang de basanti chola maaye rang de
mera rang de basanti chola rang de rang de
mera rang de basanti chola maaye rang de

Paint me now,
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.
Paint me saffron, paint, paint me true,
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.

Warriors march, chests bared to the light,
Smiling, they give their lives for dawn's bright flight,
To show the world how death can bring life's grace,
Your sons now march to guard your sacred space,
A freedom flame, blood coursing, bold and free.

Paint me now,
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.
Paint me saffron, paint, paint me true,
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.
Paint me saffron, paint, paint me true,
Paint me saffron, mother, paint me so.
