The earth is golden, the skies are blue |

Every season is colourful |

| Kothe te kaag bole oye |
A crow is calling on my terrace |
| Chithi mere mahiye di |
A letter from my lover has come |
| Vich mera vi na bole oye |
And there will surely be a mention of me |
| Chithi mere mahiye di |
A letter from my lover has come |
|
|
| Gehoon ke kheton mein |
In the fields of wheat |
| Kanghi joh kare hawayein |
The winds move like a comb |
| Rang birangi kitni |
So many colourful |
| Chunariyan udh udh jaayein |
Scarves are flying around |
| Panghat par panhaaran |
On the river banks when women come |
| Jab gagri bharne aaye |
To fill their pots |
| Madhur madhur taanon mein |
Playing some pleasant tunes |
| Kahin bansi koi bajaye |
Is someone with a flute |
| Lo sun lo |
So listen |
| Kadam kadam pe hai mil jaani |
On every step you'll find |
| Kadam kadam pe hai mil jaani |
On every step you'll find |
| Koi prem kahani |
Some love story |
|
|
| Aisa des hai mera ... ho |
Such is my country ... hey |
| Aisa des hai mera |
Such is my country |
| Aisa des hai mera ... haan |
Such is my country ... yes |
| Aisa des hai mera |
Such is my country |
|

| O ... O ... O |

| O meri jugni de dhaage bagge |
My firefly like girl is strong |
| Jugni osde mooh ton phabbe |
She is very choosy |
| Jinu sat ishq di lagge |
She favours the one in love |
| Oye sai mereya jugni |
My firefly like girl, oh God |
| Veer mereya jugni kendi aye |
My girl calls me a braveheart |
| O naam sai da lendi aye |
She takes the name of God |
| Oye ... oye ... oye! |
Hey ... hey ... hey! |
| Oye ... oye ... oye! |
Hey ... hey ... hey! |
| O dil kad lita aye jind meriye |
Now you've made me happy |
|
|
| Baap ke kandhe chadh ke |
On top of the shoulders of their father |
| Jahaan bachche dekhe mele |
Where the kids go see the fairs |
| Melon mein nat ke tamashe |
There are many shows in the fair |
| Kulfi ke chaat ke thele |
And stalls of ice-cream |
| Kahin milti meethi goli |
Somewhere you get sweet candy |
| Kahin churan ki hai pudiya |
Somewhere you get savoury snacks |
| Bhole bhole bachche hain |
These children are innocent |
| Jaise gudde aur gudiya |
Just like dolls |
| Aur inko |
For them |
| Roz sunaye daadi naani ho |
Everyday their grandparents recite |
| Roz sunaye daadi naani |
Everyday their grandparents recite |
| Ek pariyon ki kahani |
Tales about fairies |
|
|
| Aisa des hai mera ... ho |
Such is my country ... hey |
| Aisa des hai mera |
Such is my country |
| Aisa des hai mera ... haan |
Such is my country ... yes |
| Aisa des hai mera |
Such is my country |
|

| Sadke sadke jaandiye muthiyare ni |
Hurry up you well dressed woman |
| Kanda chuba tere pair baakiye naare ni |
A thorn has pricked your beloved's feet |
| Oye ni addiye |
Oh dear |
| Kanda chuba tere pair baakiye naare ni |
A thorn has pricked your beloved's feet |
| Kaun kade tera kandna muthiyare ni |
Who will be the one to remove the thorn |
| Kaun sahe teri peedh baakiye naare ni |
Who will be the one to endure his pain |
| Oye ni addiye |
Oh dear |
| Kaun sahe teri peedh baakiye naare ni |
Who will be the one to endure his pain |
|

| Ho ... ho ... ho |
Ho ... ho ... ho |
| Mere des mein mehmaanon ko |
Guests in my country |
| Bhagwan kaha jaata hai |
Are called as God |

He becomes a part of here |
| Joh kahin se bhi aata hai |
Irrespective of where he comes from |

Here the evenings and mornings are same |
| Wohi shaam hai wohi savera |
The evenings and mornings are same |
