Look people from far away |
| Ee haan aate hai daao lagane |
Come here to try their luck |
| Ee haan aate hai daao lagane |
Come here to try their luck |
| Des gaaon chhod ke, preet pyar todh ke |
Leaving their villages and their dear ones behind |
| Soya soya naseeba jagane |
They come to awaken their destiny |
| Soya soya naseeba jagane |
They come to awaken their destiny |
| Arre apna kya hoga |
What will happen to me |
| Arre apna kya hoga |

I've now rolled the dice |

Some here are wealthy and some are poor |
| Zindagi hai ee haan ki niraali |
The life here is different |
| Zindagi hai ee haan ki niraali |
The life here is different |
| Maal kitna bhara, phir bhi dekho zara |
No matter how much money you make here |
| Ee haan har aadmi hai sawaali |
Every person wants more |
| Ee haan har aadmi hai sawaali |
Every person wants more |

Change your fortune for the better |

The check of your destiny |

| Yeh shehron mein shehar hai |
The city of Mumbai is unique amongst all |
| Shehar Bambai wah |
Mumbai you're great |
| Arre wah wah Bambai wah |
Mumbai you're great |
| Yeh baat sabhi hai ulti |
Here everything is upside down |
| Phir bhi wah re Bambai wah |
But still Mumbai you're great |

| Bin pani ka Dhobitalao dekho, dekho |
Look at a washerman's lake without water |
| Ee haan reti pe pani ka bhav dekho, dekho |
Look at the price of water, here on the sand |
| Ghodon pe karodon ka daao dekho |
Look at the gambling on horse races |
| Haseeno se sabhi ka lagao dekho |
Look everyone here likes beautiful women |
| Koi bandar nahi hai, phir bhi naam Bandra |
There is no monkey, but still it's called Bandra |
| Church ka gate hai, church hai lapata |
The church has a gate, but the church is missing |
| Church hai lapata, church hai lapata |
The church is missing, the church is missing |
|

| Ajab hai yeh rang |
Strange are the hues here |
| Anokha hai dhang |
Strange are the ways here |
| Nayi hai tarang |
There are new waves |
| Nayi hai umang |
There are new desires |
| Koi kanjoos hai |
Some here are miser |
| Koi hai malang |
Some here are carefree |
| Machi hai yahan dekho aapas mein jung |
Here people fight amongst each other |
| Haan haan aapas mein jung |
Yes, here people fight amongst each other |
| Haan haan aapas mein jung |
Yes, here people fight amongst each other |
| De ghuma ke! |
Throw a punch! |
|
|
| Arre samandar mein jaise hai ghul gayi bhang |
It's like the sea is intoxicated |
| Yeh rang dekh ke main ho gaya dang |
I'm surprised looking at this colour |
| Toh kya samjhe |
So what did you understand |
|
|
| Ee hai Bambai nagariya tu dekh babuwa |
This is the city of Mumbai, my boy |
| Ee hai Bambai nagariya tu dekh babuwa |
This is the city of Mumbai, my boy |
