bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
dekh ke is bambai ka nzara dil ki dhadkan tham gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
dekh ke is bambai ka nzara dil ki dhadkan tham gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi

chanchal shok hasino ki dekho yaha bharmar hai
husan ke sare rango ki chopati pe bahar hai
sone chandi ke upar apni huyi ye bastiya
in galiyo in uncho me rahti hai filmi hastiya
unko to ye swarg lage jinki jeb me mal hai
mara mara phirta hai jo kadka kangal hai
lakho ki roji roti lakho ki takdir hai
yaha jo aaya gaya nahi shehar nahi zanzir hai
hum jo aaye is ngari me apni to biyat ram gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi

unchi unchi buildinge rahne ko par ghar nahi
itne sare raste chalne ko par dagar nahi
roti ki na bat kar pani bikta hai yaha
dharti sari bik chuki bech rahe hai aasma
paisa sabka maibap, paisa hi bhgwan hai
paise ke pichhe pichhe bhag raha insan hai
line me lat jati hai insano ki zindagi
dekho jine ke liye mar gaya kitna aadmi
dekh ke aisi halat baiya aankh hamari nam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
dekh ke is bambai ka nzara dil ki dhadkan tham gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
bam bam bam bambai, bambai humko jam gayi
zam gayi aaha bambai zam gayi waha re baiya
zam gayi bambai

Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well.
Beholding this Bombay's vista, my heart's rhythm stilled,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well.
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Beholding this Bombay's vista, my heart's rhythm stilled,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well.

See the playful sorrows of beauties, a flood they are here,
On the sands of beauty's hues, spring's glory appears.
These dwellings, on gold and silver, their foundations laid,
In these streets, in these heights, dwell the cinematic parade.
For them, it's paradise, whose pockets overflow with gain,
While the destitute wander, impoverished and in pain.
Millions earn their bread, millions find their fate,
Here, who comes, never departs; this city, not a gate.
We, who arrived in this city, our souls have become entwined,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well.

Lofty buildings to dwell in, yet no homes reside,
So many pathways to tread, but no path to confide.
Speak not of bread, here water is sold,
The earth is all sold, they sell the skies of old.
Money is everyone's mother and father, money, their god,
Behind money's shadow, humanity is trod.
Life is tangled in queues, a line of the lost,
See how much of us dies, just to live, at what cost.
Behold, this condition, my brother, our eyes well with sorrow,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Beholding this Bombay's vista, my heart's rhythm stilled,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Boom boom boom Bombay, Bombay suits me well,
Suits me well, ah Bombay, suits me well, oh brother,
Suits me well, Bombay.
