ye karo ye nahi ye galat ye sahi
ye bura ye bhala sun liya sun liya sun liya
sun liya sun liya sun liya

tum ye kehte ho tum jo kaho mai sunu
kyon sunu kyon sunu kyon sunu
tum ye kehte ho tum jo kaho mai kahu
kyon kahu kyon kahu kyon kahu
tum ye kehte ho tum jo kaho mai karu
kyon karu kyon karu kyon karu
tumko acha lagu ya na acha lagu
mujhko parvah nahi mai jo hu mai wo hu
mai jo hu mai wo hu

sachi bate kahu mai to toko nahi
mujhko toko nahi
dil ki marji karu mai to roko nahi
mujhko roko nahi
tum ye kehte ho mai jalimo se daru
kyon daru kyon daru kyon daru
tum ye kehte ho mai unke aage jhuku
kyon jhuku kyon jhuku kyon jhuku
tum ye kehte ho mai tum jaisa banu
kyon banu kyon banu kyon banu
tumko acha lagu ya na acha lagu
mujhko parvah nahi mai jo hu mai wo hu
mai jo hu mai wo hu
ye meri zindagi hai meri zindagi jaise chahe jiyu
mai jo hu mai wo hu mai jo hu mai wo hu

This, don't, that's wrong, this right,
This bad, this good, I've heard, I've heard, I've heard,
I've heard, I've heard, I've heard.

You say this, you command, I listen,
Why listen, why listen, why listen?
You say this, you command, I speak,
Why speak, why speak, why speak?
You say this, you command, I act,
Why act, why act, why act?
Whether I please you or displease you,
I do not care, I am what I am,
I am what I am.

If I speak truth, do not restrain me,
Do not restrain me.
If I follow my heart's will, do not stop me,
Do not stop me.
You say I must fear the cruel,
Why fear, why fear, why fear?
You say I must bow before them,
Why bow, why bow, why bow?
You say I must become like you,
Why become, why become, why become?
Whether I please you or displease you,
I do not care, I am what I am,
I am what I am.
This is my life, my life, as I choose to live it,
I am what I am, I am what I am.
