ek zamana tha, ek zamana tha
jab bhagwan krishan murli bajate the, bajate the
aur log jhum jhum jaate the, jhum jaate the
gaiya jhum uthti thi, jhum uthti thi
gopiya naach uthti thi
are jamure bol madari
ab main murli bajau nahi nahi nahi nahi
aisa mat karna kyu kyu kyu
kyu ki sare gadhe sadak pe jama ho jayenge
aur traffic jaam ho jayega

ha baat pate ki kahe madari
khel tamasha duniya sari
baat pate ki kahe madari
khel tamasha duniya sari
ek madari char jamure
ek madari char jamure
miljul kar hum paanch hai pure
naam alag hai hum sabke par
naam alag hai hum sabke par
ek hai jaan humari
ha baat pate ki kahe madari
khel tamasha duniya sari
ae baat pate ki kahe madari
khel tamasha duniya sari

dugdugi baaje dam dam dam
bandar naache chham chham chham
aha dugdugi baaje dam dam dam
bandar naache chham chham chham
kisi filmy hero se ye nahi kuch kam
kisi filmy hero se ye nahi kuch kam
iske pichhe padi bandariya

ha baat pate ki kahe madaari
khel tamasha duniya sari
bacche log are bajao taali
bas kar bas kar bas kar
ab aati hai are aati hai nakhre wali

chhedoge to degi wo gaali
gaal pe lali paanv me ghunghru
munh me paan supari
are chhedoge to degi wo gaali
gaal pe lali paanv me ghunghru
munh me paan supari
baat pate ki kahe madari
khel tamasha duniya sari
ha baat pate ki kahe madari
khel tamasha duniya sari

Worth, Worth,
Esteemed ones, kind souls,
There was a time, a time long past,
When Lord Krishna played his flute, he played,
And people swayed with joy, they swayed.
The cows would dance in glee, they'd dance,
The milkmaids would be moved to dance, they'd dance.
Oh, showman, speak to me,
Now I won't play the flute, no, no, no, no,
Don't do that, why, why, why?
Because all the donkeys will gather on the road,
And traffic will be jammed.

Yes, the showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.
The showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.
One showman, four jesters,
One showman, four jesters,
Together, we are five in entirety.
Though our names are different,
Though our names are different,
Our souls are one.
Yes, the showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.
Oh, the showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.

The drum beats, Dum Dum Dum,
The monkeys dance, Chham Chham Chham,
Ah, the drum beats, Dum Dum Dum,
The monkeys dance, Chham Chham Chham,
Not less than any film hero is he,
Not less than any film hero is he,
Behind him, the female monkeys pursue,
Since when, a maiden,
Yes, the showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.
Children, oh, clap your hands,
Stop now, stop now, stop now,
Now comes, oh, comes the one of tantrums.

If you tease her, she'll hurl abuse,
Cheeks with rouge, anklets on her feet,
Betel nut and betel leaf in her mouth,
Oh, if you tease her, she'll hurl abuse,
Cheeks with rouge, anklets on her feet,
Betel nut and betel leaf in her mouth,
The showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.
Yes, the showman speaks of truth,
The whole world is a game, a spectacle.
