mirch ye mirch
tikhi tikhi mirchi tez katari mirch
tikhi tikhi tez katari aag lagati
badi karari mirch ye mirch
tikhi tikhi mirchi tez katari mirch
tikhi tikhi tez katari aag lagati
badi karari mirch ye mirch
ho muh ho jala deti hai mirch
muh ho jala deti hai per hai pyari mirch
muh ho jala deti hai per hai pyari mirch
mirch yeh mirch, tikhi tikhi tez katari re

nas nas me chingari bhar aai, ang ang silgaye
nas nas me chingari bhar aai, ang ang silgaye
ye vo saja hai jisme maja hai sabhi samjh me aaye
sare ke sare sukh hai
sare ke sare sukh hai, sari ki sari mirch
mirch yeh mirch, tikhi tikhi tez katari

namkeen or khatte mitte, sou maje hai iss duniya ke
namkeen or khatte mitte, sou maje hai iss duniya ke
sau majanu is duniya ke, sau majnu ki mirchi hai rani
itani si hai itni si, hai itni si itni si lekin
hai itni si itni si lekin
hai sabpe bhari mirch, mirch

This pepper, this pepper,
A knife-edged fire, a scorching, fiery dance.
It burns the mouth, yet holds a charm, a sweet defiance.
This pepper, this pepper,
A knife-edged fire, a scorching, fiery dance.
It burns the mouth, yet holds a charm, a sweet defiance.
A burning kiss, a searing bliss.
This pepper, this pepper, the fiery blade.

Sparks ignite within the veins, each limb ablaze,
This is the punishment that pleasures, the wisdom's maze.
All the joys of being, all the pepper's bite,
This pepper, this pepper, the knife-edged fire.

Salty, sour, and sweet, a world of myriad tastes,
A hundred lovers in this world, and for each, the pepper's embrace.
So small, so small, in its fiery grace,
Yet it overpowers all.
This pepper.
