ghum ke aaya hu mai bandhu rus chin england
india walo maje udalo sun kar mera band
bajewala patiyale wala bajewala patiyale wala
ghum ke aaya hu mai bandhu rus chin england
india walo maje udalo sun kar mera band
bajewala patiyale wala bajewala patiyale wala

mere band me dhol bajate the shri raj kapoor
sach kahta hau dunia walo karta nahi gurur
bajewala patiyale wala bajewala patiyale wala
ghum ke aaya hu mai bandhu rus chin england
india walo maje udalo sun kar mera band
bajewala patiyale wala bajewala patiyale wala

asha bhosle or rafi ke tum sab ho diwane
ab lacche ambale wali aayi band bajane
bajewala patiyale wala bajewala patiyale wala
ghum ke aayi hu mai babu rus chin england
india walo maje udalo sun kar mera band

I have journeyed, brother, through Russia, China, England's shore,
India's children, revel now, hear my band's rich pour.
The band man from Patiala, the band man from Patiala,
I have journeyed, brother, through Russia, China, England's shore,
India's children, revel now, hear my band's rich pour.
The band man from Patiala, the band man from Patiala.

My band, it thundered, Raj Kapoor, a master of the drum,
I swear to you, the world, I boast not, though my time has come.
The band man from Patiala, the band man from Patiala,
I have journeyed, brother, through Russia, China, England's shore,
India's children, revel now, hear my band's rich pour.
The band man from Patiala, the band man from Patiala.

You all adore the voices of Rafi, and of Bhosle's art,
Now Lachche from Ambala, comes to play a vibrant part.
The band man from Patiala, the band man from Patiala,
I have journeyed, sister, through Russia, China, England's art,
India's children, revel now, hear my band's rich heart.
