jai kaali kalkatte wali
tera vachan na jaye khaali
maai is lathi ka number mila de
aur jaldise baadal ki naiya ko paar lagade

are paandu abhi tak mothiya
result lekar nahi aayi re
aati hogi ganpat bhaiya
mataji ka aashirvad to lele, ha lelo

jai jai jai jai jai jai
jai ho maha kaali kaali kalkatte wali
jai ho maha kaali kaali kalkatte wali
karde daya karde daya karde daya

ab to ho gayi jeb bhi khaali
baja le beta birju do hath se tali
baja le beta birju do hath se tali
jai ho maha kaali kalkatte wali

Kali of Kolkata, victory to you,
Your word, it never fails, it's true.
Mother, let this staff find its mark,
And swiftly guide the cloud-boat through the dark.

Oh, Pandu, still no news you bring?
The results delayed, a mournful thing.
Ganpat, surely she will arrive soon,
First, seek the Mother's blessing, beneath the moon.
Yes, take it!

Victory, victory, victory!
Victory to the Great Kali, Kali of Kolkata!
Victory to the Great Kali, Kali of Kolkata!
Have mercy, have mercy, have mercy now,
My pockets empty, I don't know how.

Birju, son, with two hands clap,
Birju, son, let the rhythm tap!
Victory to the Great Kali, Kali of Kolkata!
