jangal jangal dolu main dolu hiran hiran mera naam
kaun tu kaun kaha se hai aya kya hai yaha tera kaam
bhag le bhag nahi to sher ko bulwa lunga
bhediye ko bulwa ke khal teri nuchwa lunga
admi ka bachcha hah
jangal jangal dolu main dolu hiran hiran mera naam

kaun awat hai bal hain kale kale
kuchh bhi nahi jangal ki tumko ada re
ayo mere pas mite nahi aisa
dekho gat gat apne ghar ek ayi adami ki jat
madad ko ana are kisne dikhlaya ise jangal ka rasta
bhale o ghar me rahna nahi hai itna sasta
adami ka bachcha
kala bhalu khaye aalu re o kala bhalu khaye aalu re
sidha sada lage gumsum rahe bada chalu re
kala bhalu khaye alu re

o bhalu mama suno kya hai be kya hai hangama kaho kaho
o nashe me hu main mujhko o bachcho abhi na bulana re
aur nashe ke alam me uthna baithna chalna phirna
daktar ki taraf se sakt mana hai kyunki mainne mahuya piya hai
meri bas yeh kata hai kahi mushkil hai ana jana re
kahi mushkil hai ana jana re

dur hato dur hato dur hato ai duniya walo
bangle tal hamara hai bangle tal hamara hai
bhole bhale prani re teri pal bhar ki jindagani re
yeh sher tujhe kha jayega ho jayegi katm kahani re
ai adami ka bacha raj karne aya hai
banduk chalane aya hai maar maar ke jangal se nikal dunga
hath hila ke chal

o re banvasiyo mere pyaro mere ladlo
path bhule pathik ko shama kar do
ghar aye atithi par daya kar lo
o o re banavasiyo mere pyaro mere ladlo

shaktishali ho use do shakti ka parichay
jo tumhari shakti ko lalakarne aye
pyar ka laya ujala jo andhere me
kyun usi nirdosh ko tum maarne
aye uske jivan ki khatir duya kar do
usko haste hasaate vida kar do o o re
banavasiyo mere pyaro mere ladalo

I roam the forest, a deer am I, my name is Deer
Who are you? From where have you come? What brings you here?
Flee now, or I'll summon the lion's roar,
Call the wolves to tear your flesh and more.
Oh, child of man, beware!
I roam the forest, a deer am I, my name is Deer.

Who comes, with hair so dark and deep?
You know nothing of the forest's keep.
Come closer, let the unknown cease,
Gaze at your kin, a man, a piece.
Come to my aid, who showed you the way?
In this forest, dwelling is not so cheap they say.
Oh, child of man, beware!
Black bear eats potatoes, oh, black bear eats potatoes,
Looks simple, quiet, yet sly, he knows.
Black bear eats potatoes.

Oh, Uncle Bear, listen, what's this uproar?
Speak, speak!
I'm drunk, little ones, do not call me now, I implore.
And in this drunken haze, to rise, to sit, to roam,
The doctor strictly forbids, for I've tasted the mahua's foam.
My only fault, in coming and going, a struggle to be sure.
A struggle to be sure.

Stand back, stand back, stand back, you world of men!
This lake, our home, this lake, our own!
Innocent creature, your life, a fleeting breath,
The lion will devour, ending your death.
Oh, child of man, to rule you came,
With guns you came, to ignite the flame.
I'll drive you out, beating you down,
With a wave of the hand, depart this town.

Oh, forest dwellers, my beloved, my sweet,
Forgive the wanderer, lost of feet.
Show mercy to the guest who knocks at your door,
Oh, forest dwellers, my beloved, my sweet!

To the powerful, display your might,
To those who challenge your inner light.
The one who brings love's light to the night,
Why do you come to kill, devoid of right?
Pray for his life, his journey's grace,
Send him smiling, from this place.
Oh, forest dwellers, my beloved, my sweet!
