zor laga ke haiya, pair jama ke haiya, jaan lada ke haiya
zor laga ke, pair jamaa ke, jaan ladaa ke
haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi

aangan me baithi hai machheran teri aas lagaaye
haay teri aas lagaaye
aramaano aur aashaao ke laakho dip jalaaye
laakho dip jalaaye
aangan me baithi hai machheran teri aas lagaaye
aramaano aur aashaao ke laakho dip jalaaye
bhola bachpan rasta dekhe mamta khair manaaye
zor laga ke phek machhere dhil na aane paaye, haiya haiya
zor laga ke haiya, pair jama ke haiya, jaan lada ke haiya
zor laga ke, pair jamaa ke, jaan ladaa ke
haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi

janam-janam se apne sar par tufaano ke saaye
tufaano ke saaye
lahare apani hamjoli hai aur baadal hamsaaye
aur baadal hamsaaye
janam-janam se apne sar par tufaano ke saaye
lahare apani hamjoli hai aur baadal hamsaaye
prit ka jaam hai jivan apna kya sardi kya garmi
apni himmat kabhi na tute rut aaye rut jaaye, haiya haiya
zor laga ke haiya, pair jama ke haiya, jaan lada ke haiya
are zor laga ke, pair jamaa ke, jaan ladaa ke
haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi

kya jaane kab saagar umde kab barkha aa jaaye
kab barkha aa jaaye
bhukh saro pe mandlaaye munh khole par failaaye
munh khole par failaaye
kya jaane kab saagar umde kab barkha aa jaaye
bhukh saro pe mandlaaye munh khole par failaaye
aaj mila do apni punji kal ki haath paraye
tani huyi baaho se keh do josh na aane paaye, haiya haiya
zor laga ke haiya, pair jama ke haiya, jaan lada ke haiya
are zor laga ke, pair jamaa ke, jaan ladaa ke
haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi, haiya hayi

With all your might, plant your feet, give your all, heave!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all!
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho!

In the courtyard, the fisherwoman waits, hope alight,
Oh, longing in her gaze.
For dreams and wishes, a million lamps ignite,
A million lamps ablaze.
In the courtyard, the fisherwoman waits, hope alight,
For dreams and wishes, a million lamps ignite.
Innocence watches, a mother's love sends blessings,
Heave with strength, fisher, let no slack descend, heave ho!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all, heave!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all!
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho!

For ages, storms have cast their shadows on your head,
Shadows all around.
Waves are your companions, clouds your kindred tread,
Clouds your world surround.
For ages, storms have cast their shadows on your head,
Waves are your companions, clouds your kindred tread.
Life is a cup of love, what care we for the cold or heat?
Never let your courage break, though seasons come and go, heave ho!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all, heave!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all!
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho!

Who knows when the ocean will surge, when the rain will pour,
When the rain descends?
Hunger circles, its maw open to devour,
Its hunger never ends.
Who knows when the ocean will surge, when the rain will pour,
Hunger circles, its maw open to devour.
Today, unite your wealth, tomorrow's hands may take it hence,
With stretched arms, say to doubt, let no fear arise, heave ho!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all, heave!
With all your might, plant your feet, give your all!
Heave ho, heave ho, heave ho, heave ho!
