mithi hai mosambi to kadva hai karela
maashuk tere andar tu tu tu bahar khadela
ja ja jawani kabse kabse kabse bula rahi hai
buddhi ke chakkar me tu kayeko kayeko kayeko padela

The orange, sweet, the bitter gourd's embrace,
Within you, Beloved, your essence finds its place.
Youth beckons, whispers, calls with fervent plea,
Why linger, caught within an aged decree?

From Bombay he arrives, my friend, salute!
Feast through the night, then slumber, mute.
From Bombay he arrives, my friend, salute!
Feast through the night, then slumber, mute.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!

Dance and sing, together, holiday's grace,
Dance and sing, together, time and space.
Hey hey, dance and sing, holiday's grace,
Dance and sing, together, time and space.
From Bombay he arrives, my friend, salute!
Feast through the night, then slumber, mute.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!

Kings and emperors, all have passed away,
Now all belong to you, come what may.
Hey hey, play the music, let the rhythms sway,
Eat fresh halwa, celebrate the day.
Let all grow rich, banish poverty's sting,
Feast through the night, then slumber, everything.
From Bombay he arrives, my friend, salute!
Feast through the night, then slumber, mute.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah, wah!

No miser's grip, no wealthy hold,
No miser's grip, no story told.
Hey hey, dance as one, brothers all behold,
Dance as one, young, the old.
Leave the dark deeds, let the pure unfold,
Feast through the night, then slumber, bold.
From Bombay he arrives, my friend, salute!
Feast through the night, then slumber, mute.
From Bombay he arrives, my friend, salute!
