chhati chaudi dil hai bada, lohe ka hai sina
abb dar kahe jab tum aaye, chandni chowk to china

hey hey hey hey
india se aaya tera dost, dost ko salam karo
raat ko khao piyo, din ko aaram karo
india se aaya tera dost, dost ko salam karo
raat ko khao piyo, din ko aaram karo
sab mil ke nacho gao, chhutti hai mauj manao
sab mil ke nacho gao, chhutti hai mauj manao
india se aaya tera dost, dost ko salam karo
raat ko khao piyo, din ko aaram karo

apna koi ho kadka, naa koi paise wala
naachenge sab milake, jeeja ho ya sala
chhodo kaale dhandhe, safed kam karo
raat ko khao piyo, din ko aaram karo he
india se aaya tera dost, dost ko salaam karo
raat ko khaao piyo, din ko aaram karo
india se aaya tera dost, dost ko salaam karo
raat ko khaao piyo, din ko aaram karo

dost ko salaam karo
dost ko salaam karo
dost ko salaam karo
dost ko salaam karo
india se aaya tera dost, dost ko salam karo
raat ko khaao piyo, china me aaram karo

A chest of iron, a heart immense and wide,
Why fear now, when you've come, where shadows hide?
From Chandni Chowk to China's moonlit ground.

Heh heh heh heh

Your friend arrives, from India's sunlit shore,
Salute your friend, and open every door.
Feast through the night, let slumber fill the day,
Salute your friend, and cast your fears away.
All gather, dance, and sing with joyous sound,
A holiday of bliss on hallowed ground.
Salute your friend, from India's vibrant heart,
Feast through the night, and play your joyful part.

No matter fortune, pauper, rich, or poor,
We'll dance as one, beyond the open door.
Forget the darkness, choose the work of light,
Feast through the night, and greet the morning bright.
Heh.
Your friend arrives, from India's endless grace,
Feast through the night, and smile on every face.
Your friend arrives, from India's ancient hold,
Feast through the night, a story to be told.

Salute your friend,
Salute your friend,
Salute your friend,
Salute your friend,
Your friend arrives, from India's soul so free,
Feast through the night, for all eternity.
