o sona sona rata sona rata
sona rata laayo re
sona re sona
sona rata sona rata laayo re
ye sona leja de ye rupa le ja de
mujhe to dil de ja mujhe to dil de ja

sona mile to log aajkal
dil ko kabhi na le
preet ke muh par kalikh mal de
pyar ko thokar de
o sakhi ri ab hai zamana dusra
sona sona re sona rata
sona rata layo re
ye sona leja de ye rupa le ja de
mujhe to dil de ja mujhe to dil de ja

sona mile to log aajkal
dil ko kabhi na le
preet ke muh par kalikh mal de
pyar ko thokar de
o sakhi ri ab hai zamana dusra
sona sona re sona rata
sona rata laayo re

jadu bhare ishare sab jhuthe hai
matlab bhare sahare sab jhuthe hai
wade kabhi na sunna pachtayegi
sapne kabhi na bunna lut jayegi
o sakhi ri ab hai zamana dusra
sona sona re sona rata
sona rata laayo re
ye sona leja de ye rupa le ja de
mujhe to dil de ja mujhe to dil de ja

kal ko tan ye thikana koi maange na
dil ka bhara khajana koi maange na
yava apna inhe na kahna sarkaari hain
sab me padenge sona to bhaari hain
o o sakhi ri ab hai zamana dusra
sona sona re sona rata
sona rata laayo re
ye sona leja de ye rupa le ja de
mujhe to dil de ja mujhe to dil de ja

sona mile to log aajkal
dil ko kabhi na le
preet ke muh par kalikh mal de
pyar ko thokar de
o sakhi ri ab hai zamana dusra
sona sona re sona rata
sona rata layo re
sona sona re

Gold, oh gold, stained gold,
stained gold you bring.
Gold, oh gold.
Stained gold, stained gold, you bring.
Take the gold, take the silver,
but leave your heart with me, leave your heart with me.

For gold, hearts are now forsaken,
never held dear.
Smut smeared on love's face,
love is kicked aside.
Oh friend, the world has changed,
Gold, oh gold, stained gold,
stained gold you bring.
Take the gold, take the silver,
but leave your heart with me, leave your heart with me.

For gold, hearts are now forsaken,
never held dear.
Smut smeared on love's face,
love is kicked aside.
Oh friend, the world has changed,
Gold, oh gold, stained gold,
stained gold you bring.

Magic glances, all false,
support born of greed, all false.
Never heed promises, you'll regret it,
Never weave dreams, you'll be plundered.
Oh friend, the world has changed,
Gold, oh gold, stained gold,
stained gold you bring.
Take the gold, take the silver,
but leave your heart with me, leave your heart with me.

Tomorrow, no one seeks this body's home,
No one seeks the heart's full treasure.
Call not these your own, they belong to the state,
All will fall for gold's heavy weight.
Oh friend, the world has changed,
Gold, oh gold, stained gold,
stained gold you bring.
Take the gold, take the silver,
but leave your heart with me, leave your heart with me.

For gold, hearts are now forsaken,
never held dear.
Smut smeared on love's face,
love is kicked aside.
Oh friend, the world has changed,
Gold, oh gold, stained gold,
stained gold you bring.
Gold, oh gold...
