locha labacha chalega nahi chalega nahi
gunda mawali rahega nahi rahega nahi
hum yahi rahenge ye apun ka ghar hai
humko na kisi ke bap ka dar hai
chal nikal tu palti kha le shane
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti

locha labacha chalega nahi chalega nahi
gunda mawali rahega nahi rahega nahi
hum yahi rahenge ye apun ka ghar hai
humko na kisi ke bap ka dar hai
chal nikal tu palti kha le shane
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti

roti garib ki garib ki chhini jo phir kabhi phir kabhi
roti garib ki chhini jo phir kabhi hath tod denge pav tod denge
phir bhi jo na samjha uska sar bhi phod denge
sabke apne apne dekho sapne hai
milke aaj humko pure karne hai
jina hai yahi yahi pe marna hai
karke hum rahenge jo bhi karna hai
chal nikal tu palti kha le shane shane
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti

bola tha nukkad pe chhupi se mujhko
maine gina diye batis usko
are bindas hai tu nahi janta tha
are wo to bechara dil mangta tha
balle balle soniye ni balle balle
mar sutiya ni teri balle balle
oye shava shava soniye ni balle balle
mar sutiya ni sanu balle balle
lal pili banket kare jo sala
kasam dongri ki muh karenge kala
chal nikal tu palti kha le shane shane
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti

locha labacha chalega nahi chalega nahi
gunda mawali rahega nahi rahega nahi
ha hum yahi rahenge ye apun ka ghar hai
humko na kisi ke bap ka dar hai
chal nikal tu palti kha le he shane
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti
ye basti hamari hasti ye basti

Chaos and clutter, they won't prevail, no, they won't
Thugs and bullies, they won't remain, no, they won't
We shall abide, this is our dwelling
We fear no father's reign, nor his yelling
Begone, take a tumble, you disgrace
This is our life, this is our space
This is our life, this is our space

Chaos and clutter, they won't prevail, no, they won't
Thugs and bullies, they won't remain, no, they won't
We shall abide, this is our dwelling
We fear no father's reign, nor his yelling
Begone, take a tumble, you disgrace
This is our life, this is our space
This is our life, this is our space

The bread of the poor, stolen, taken away
If it happens again, if it happens again
The bread of the poor, stolen, taken away
If it happens again, we'll break hands, we'll break feet
If still they don't get it, we'll smash their skull in the street
Everyone has their own dreams, you see
Together today, we must set them free
To live here, to die here, is our decree
We will accomplish all that we see
Begone, take a tumble, you disgrace, disgrace
This is our life, this is our space
This is our life, this is our space

He spoke to me secretly, on the corner
I gave him thirty-two, a true scorner
You are fearless, did you not know?
He was just a beggar, his heart, to bestow
Balle balle, my dear, balle balle
You'll get a thrashing, balle balle
Oye shava shava, my dear, balle balle
We get a thrashing, balle balle
The one who does wrong with a red-yellow hue
We'll blacken his face, by the Dôngri's view
Begone, take a tumble, you disgrace, disgrace
This is our life, this is our space
This is our life, this is our space

Chaos and clutter, they won't prevail, no, they won't
Thugs and bullies, they won't remain, no, they won't
Yes, we shall abide, this is our dwelling
We fear no father's reign, nor his yelling
Begone, take a tumble, you disgrace
This is our life, this is our space
This is our life, this is our space
