kauwa hans ki chaal chala langada kar ghoda dauda
kauwa hans ki chaal chala langada kar ghoda dauda
ek gadhe ne koshish ki vo bhi ban jaye ghoda
dekho taal ne tute hamari chaal na tute
hamari chaal na tute
dekho taal ne tute hamari chaal na tute

The crow, mimicking the swan's grace, hobbled,
The horse, it ran, though lame, it doubled.
A donkey tried to be a horse, it strove,
See, the rhythm may break, but our step won't move.
Our step won't move.
See, the rhythm may break, but our step won't move.

Oh, Kaliram's mask has fallen, revealed,
In the marketplace, the drum, it's unsealed.
His vessel shattered, the game is done,
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
To each their work, the rest is vain,
Kaliram's mask has fallen, revealed, again.
In the marketplace, the drum, it's unsealed.
His vessel shattered, the game is done,
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.

Without a ticket, we watched the play unfold,
Without a ticket, the story is told.
A mouse, with bhang's haze, its senses gone,
Dared to challenge the lion, at dawn.
It's the same old tale, a truth so stark,
Small mouth, yet grand speech, leaving its mark.
Kaliram's mask has fallen, revealed,
In the marketplace, the drum, it's unsealed.
His vessel shattered, the game is done,
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.

Praise be, clang the bells, let the sounds ascend,
Mother Durga, destroyer of woes, on this thick one, descend.
We implore Durga, our hearts in the fray,
We implore Durga, release this demon today.
This thick one, like Mahisasura, in his might,
Whose neck will he break in this endless fight?
Oh Goddess, take his life, it is our plea,
Oh Goddess, take his life, a sacrifice free.
Kaliram's mask has fallen, revealed,
In the marketplace, the drum, it's unsealed.
His vessel shattered, the game is done,
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.

This poor soul, defeated, with shame he is bowed,
Take him away, from the crowd.
Take him away, and lead him home,
Lest he drown himself, alone.
For who, when honor flees,
For who, when honor flees, can find ease?
Kaliram's mask has fallen, revealed,
In the marketplace, the drum, it's unsealed.
His vessel shattered, the game is done,
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
Chant Hari's name, 'til the victory is won.
