o daddy ji bolo mere beta ji o o daddy ji bol bol putar ji
ye humara jamana samjhe ye humara jamana
gujri jawani vapis na aaye ab kissa hua purana
o mere son ji bolo mere daddy ji
jamane ki bato me na aana samjhe
jamane ki bato me na aana jab tak seene me ye dil jawaa hai
tab tak jawaa hai jamana jamana o kaka ji bolo baba ji
jamane ki bato me na aana jamane ki bato me na aana

suno suno o tum bhi suno bolo
suno tum bhi pahchan jawani ki
jisko dekh ke fiza lahrati hai
jiske aage jamana jhuk jata hai
kali hans ke phul ban jati hai ha
o kali hans ke phul ban jati hai
najaare khil jate hai bahare mil jati hai oye
aankh se aankh ladti oye aur dil mil jate hai
pahchaan jawani ki ye hai kahta hu mai kayi mahino se
fir bhi yakin nahi aata hai to pucho pucho aji pucho
pucho in haisna se o bacha ji bolo mere kaka ji
o mere raaja ji bolo mere baba ji
hasino ki bato me na aana
samjhe hasino ki bato me na aana

sun le sun le beta sun le sun le asli pahchan jawani ki
o jiske aate nasha chad jata o jiske aate hosh udh jata hai
aadmi ko ye buddu bana de o parda akal pe aisa padd jata hai
parda akal pe aisa padd jata hai o jawani aaye jaye
kabhi na sath nibhaye budhapa aisa sathi jo aake fir na jaye
o jo bhi baat sunu tujhko vo sun le jahaa se
fir bhi yakin na aata hai to puch le o puch le puch le
are puch le apni maa se o barkurdar ji bolo mere papa ji o

Oh Daddy, speak to my son, oh oh Daddy, speak to my son.
This world, does it understand our world?
Youth has passed, stories grown old.
Oh my son, speak to me, Daddy.
Do not be swayed by the world's words, understand.
Do not be swayed by youth's words, while this heart beats young.
As long as it's young, the world is young, old uncle, speak, Father.
Do not be swayed by the world's words, do not be swayed by the world's words.

Listen, listen, oh you, listen and speak.
Listen, recognize youth.
It's the sight that makes the air ripple,
Before which the world bows.
A bud laughs and becomes a flower, yes.
Oh, a bud laughs and blooms.
Sights unfold, springs converge, oy.
Eyes meet eyes, oy, and hearts entwine.
Recognize youth, this I say for months,
Yet still, you don't believe, so ask, ask, alas, ask.
Ask these beauties, oh child, speak, my uncle.
Oh my king, speak, my father.
Do not be swayed by the words of beauties.
Understand, do not be swayed by the words of beauties.

Listen, listen, son, listen, listen, the true face of youth.
Oh, with its arrival, intoxication arises, oh, with its arrival, senses are lost.
It makes a man foolish, oh, a veil falls over reason.
A veil falls over reason, oh, youth comes and goes.
Never stays with you, old age, a companion that, once here, never leaves.
Oh, whatever I tell you, listen, from the world.
Yet still, you don't believe, so ask, oh ask, ask.
Hey, ask your mother, oh, my blessed one, speak, my Papa.
