daaru ne sabko doobaya re
daaru ne sabko doobaya re
mora botal wala balma
tora botal wala balma
mora sone chhalla gumaya re
mora botal wala balma
tora botal wala balma
chhoda hai kab se rani peene parwani
peene parwani haan peene parwani peene parwani
kaangres ne sabko jagaaya re
kaangres ne sabko jagaaya re
mora botal wala balma
tora botal wala balma
botal wala

gharwali gharwali diwali ghar aayi
diwala bhaga aji thaga diwala bhaga
arey bhaga daaro ek dam se chuti duniya naseeba jaaga
isliye jug jug jiyo more gandhi baba
gandhi baba gandhi baba
doodhon ka dariya bahaaya re
doodhon ka dariya bahaaya re
mora botal wala balma
tora botal wala balma
mora botal wala balma

The drink has drowned them all, I say,
The drink has drowned them all, I say.
My lover, a bottle's captive now,
Your lover, a bottle's captive vow.
My golden ring, it vanished then, I swear,
My lover, a bottle's captive there.
Your lover, a bottle's captive, where?
Since when, my queen, have you forsaken me?
Forsaken me, yes, forsaken me, forsaken thee?
The Congress woke them up, it's true,
The Congress woke them, through and through.
My lover, a bottle's captive now,
Your lover, a bottle's captive bow.
Bottle's captive, how?

The wife, the wife, Diwali's here to stay,
The bankruptcy fled, the thieves ran away.
Fled, cast it off, at once the world is free,
Fate has awakened, for all to see.
So live forever, my Gandhi, you,
Gandhi, Gandhi, through and through.
A river of milk they did then pour,
A river of milk, forevermore.
My lover, a bottle's captive now,
Your lover, a bottle's captive bow.
My lover, a bottle's captive now.
