ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai
ek shadi ho rahi thi ek shadi ho rahi thi
sari dunia thi jama dulha dulhan jab mile to
band ne gaya waha kya gaya
do dilo ko ye dunia milne hi nahi deti
do dilo ko ye dunia milne hi nahi deti
isiliye to bujurgo ne kaha hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai

dusri shadi ki suniye are bhai kya suniye
aji dusri shadi ki suniye jane wali thi barat
hoke ruksat jab dulhan jane lagi dulha ke sath
to baje walo ne gaya kya gaya ho likhne wale
ho likhne wale ne likhdi meri takdir me barbadi
ho likhne wale ho likhne wale
isiliye to bujurgo ne kaha hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai

ek buddhe ka janaja jaha par tha ja raha
hum waha pahuche to dekha band tha ye ga raha
kya ga raha
chal chal re nojawan chal chal re naujawan
pam pam pam chal chal re naujawan
isiliye to bujurgo ne kaha hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai
ulta hai suno meri sarkar jamana ulta hai

The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.
A wedding was, a wedding was,
And all the world assembled there.
When bride and groom did meet,
The band began to play – what did they say?
“This world will never let two hearts unite,”
“This world will never let two hearts unite.”
Thus the elders spoke,
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.

Another wedding, hear ye now, oh brother, what to hear?
Another wedding, hear ye now, oh brother, what to hear?
When the bride departed, leaving with the groom,
The musicians played, what did they play?
"The writer has inscribed in my fate, desolation,"
"The writer, oh the writer!"
Thus the elders spoke,
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.

An old man’s funeral passed,
We reached there, and saw the band playing.
What were they playing?
"Come on, young man, come on, young man,"
"Pam, pam, pam, come on, young man."
Thus the elders spoke,
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.
The world is turned, O listen, my king, the world is turned.
