| Tan tana tan tan tan, tan tana tan |
(Indian music beats) |
| Tan tana tan tan tan, tan tana tan |
(Indian music beats) |

|
| Paisa kamana ... tan tana tan tan tan |
Making money ... (Indian music beats) |
| Mauj manana ... tan tana tan tan tan |
Having fun ... (Indian music beats) |
| Paisa kamana, mauj manana |
Making money and having fun |
| Saare jahaan ka bojh uthana |
Lifting the bags of the entire world |
| Mehnat mera jeevan |
Hardwork is my life |
| Coolie number one, main coolie number one |
I'm the best porter |
| Coolie number one, main coolie number one |
I'm the best porter |
|
|
| Dekhe kahin joh ladki kanwari |
When it sees an unmarried girl |
| Peeche peeche uske bhaage |
It runs behind her |
| Mujhko sataye pagal kanwara |
This crazy bachelorhood troubles me |
| Bechain raaton ko jaage |
It keeps me up and restless at night |
| Dekhe kahin joh ladki kanwari |
When it sees an unmarried girl |
| Peeche peeche uske bhaage |
It runs behind her |
| Mujhko sataye pagal kanwara |
This crazy bachelorhood troubles me |
| Bechain raaton ko jaage |
It keeps me up and restless at night |
| Meri baat na maane |
It doesn't listen to me |
| O mera dard na jaane |
It doesn't know my pain |
| Meri baat na maane |
It doesn't listen to me |
| O mera dard na jaane |
It doesn't know my pain |
| Deewana hai mera mann |
This crazy heart of mine |
|
|
| Coolie number one, main coolie number one |
I'm the best porter |
| Coolie number one, main coolie number one |
I'm the best porter |
|
|
| Honge adhoore sapne bhi poore |
Even the incomplete dreams will now finish |
| Jamke bajaunga baaja |
I'll play the drums hard |
| Maana ki khali hai jeb meri |
I agree that my pockets are empty |
| Lekin main dil ka hoon raja |
But I'm a king when it comes to the heart |
| Honge adhoore sapne bhi poore |
Even the incomplete dreams will now finish |
| Jamke bajaunga baaja |
I'll play the drums hard |
| Maana ki khali hai jeb meri |
I agree that my pockets are empty |
| Lekin main dil ka hoon raja |
But I'm a king when it comes to the heart |
| Naya band bajega |
A new band will sound |
| Naya rang sajega |
A new colour will adorn |
| Naya band bajega |
A new band will sound |
| Naya rang sajega |
A new colour will adorn |
| Ban jaaunga main sajan |
And I'll become a beloved to someone |
|
|
| Coolie number one, main coolie number one |
I'm the best porter |
| Coolie number one, main coolie number one |
I'm the best porter |
|
