mati pukare tujhe desh pukare, aaja re abb aaja re
bhule ham raahe hame rah dikha de, aaja re rah dikha de

aenak pakde lathi pakde, chalte the woh shan se
jalim kanpe thar thar thar thar, sunkar unka naam re
kad tha unka chhota sa, aur sarpat unki chal re
duble se patle se the woh, chalte sina tan ke
bande me tha dam vande mataram

vaishi dilo ko pyar sikha de, aaja re bapu aaja re
bande me tha dam vande mataram

Oh, come, oh come,
The soil calls, the land implores, come now, come.
We've lost our way, show us the path, come and show us.

Spectacles perched, a staff in hand,
He walked with pride, across the land.
Tyrants trembled, hearts aflame,
At the mere whisper of his name.
Small in stature, yet swift of pace,
Lean of frame, with a fearless face.
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!" Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram!

Brother against brother, a foe's embrace,
A storm of hate, sweeps through this place.
Teach hearts of greed, to love once more,
Come, Bapu, come, to our shore.
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!" Vande Mataram!

Lies ascend, a kingdom's sway,
Even our own, have gone astray.
To save us now, from our own kind,
Come, Bapu, to ease our mind.
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!" Vande Mataram!

Each penny buys a soul's release,
Life itself, has lost its peace.
Awaken the conscience, from slumber deep,
Come, Bapu, your vigil keep.
Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram!
Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram!
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!"
In the man, there was strength, "Vande Mataram!" Vande Mataram! Vande Mataram!
