ae manya, manya sunna re ae manya, manya sun
bhai bole bole bole to peene ka
bhai bole bole bole to saala jeene ka
ae manya, manya sunna re ae manya, manya sun

sooni sooni kaali raato ko rangeen banate chale
har zakhm ko hum to dhuye me udate chale
tedhi-medhi saari raaho ko apna banate chale banate chale
har gam ko gale se hum to laga ke chale
doobe hi rahe fikar nasha peene ka
arre bhai bole bole bole to saala peene ka
ae manya, manya sunna re ae manya, manya sun

jaane kaun se mod pe chhute shehar apne
lagi neend me thokar tut gaye sapne
sukhe patto ki tarah hawao me udne lage
jaha mod diya kismat ne mudne lage
nashe me ghul raha hai dard ye seene ka
hey bhai bole bole bole to saala peene ka

ae manya, manya sunna re ae manya, manya sun
hey bhai bole bole bole to peene ka
hey ra pa pa pa
bhai bole bole bole to saala jeene ka
saala jeene ka saala jeene ka

Manya, O Manya, heed my call,
Manya, listen close, enthrall.
Brother speaks, a life's decree,
Manya, O Manya, listen to me.

Through desolate nights, we paint the dark,
Each wound aloft, a fading spark.
Twisted paths, we claim as ours,
Embracing sorrow, through life's showers.
Lost in drink, no care we feign,
Brother speaks, of life's refrain.
Manya, O Manya, heed my plea,
Manya, listen close, with me.

At what turn, did our city fade?
Dreams shattered, a slumber's raid.
Like withered leaves, on winds we ride,
Where fate dictates, we gently glide.
Drunk with pain, the heart does ache,
Brother speaks, for sorrow's sake.
Manya, O Manya, hear my song,
Manya, listen, where we belong.
Brother speaks, a life's lament,
Ra Pa Ra Pa, heaven-sent.
Brother speaks, the truth it sings,
Life's for living, and what it brings.
