Uttar Pradesh, Holi's fire, Uttar Pradesh, Holi's pyre,
Where the boldest spirits gather, fueled by a primal desire.
A brotherhood of power, in the hues of sacred mire.
Uttar Pradesh, Holi's sway, Uttar Pradesh, come what may,
The bold ones dance and play.

Where sticks descend and mud takes flight,
Where all the world's wild spirits ignite,
Where sticks descend and mud takes flight,
A symphony of chaos, bathed in the day's light.
In moments, a silent scream,
In moments, a shattering dream,
A bullet's kiss, a final gleam,
The bold ones gather, it would seem.
A bullet's kiss, a final gleam,
The bold ones dance and play.

The potent brew, its whispers rise,
Some laugh aloud, some with wide eyes,
The potent brew, its whispers rise,
Beneath the sun's gaze, beneath the skies.
The ministers declare, the ministers entwine,
The ministers declare, the colors align,
Holi's chorus, a sacred sign,
The bold ones gather, in the divine.
The ministers declare, the colors align,
The bold ones dance and play.
Uttar Pradesh, Holi's grace, Uttar Pradesh, time and space,
The bold ones gather in this place.

The bold ones gather, hearts ablaze,
The bold ones gather, through the haze,
The bold ones gather, through the days,
The bold ones dance and play.
Uttar Pradesh, Holi's might, Uttar Pradesh, pure delight,
The bold ones gather, burning bright.
Uttar Pradesh, Holi's heat, Uttar Pradesh, bittersweet,
The bold ones gather, can't be beat.
