columbus columbus chhutti hai aayi
aao koyi naya mulk dhundhe chal ke bhaayi
columbus columbus chhutti hai aayi
aao koyi naya mulk dhundhe chal ke bhaayi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi

columbus columbus chhutti hai aayi
aao koyi naya mulk dhundhe chal ke bhaayi
columbus columbus chhutti hai aayi
aao koyi naya mulk dhundhe chal ke bhaayi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi
aisi jagah dil kehta hai chalo
duniya ki koyi buraayi jahaan na ho
fauji taiyaari jang aur ladaayi
bhukh aur bimaari gandi raajniti
in sabse dur kahi to hogi hansati-gaati zindagi, columbus

mehnat hamne paanch dino ki paayi tab hai do din ki chhutti
aao khushi se jhume havaao ki tarah ghume
kaliyo ko ham chume laharo se khele aur bachpan me laut jaaye
pankh laga ke udna sikhe is ambar ki sair kare
pardesi hai pachhi ban ke nagar-nagar ki sair kare
phir dariya ki or jaaye unchi-nichi mauj aaye
aise jhule jhulaaye aaye nind hame, columbus
columbus columbus chhutti hai aayi
aao koyi naya mulk dhundhe chal ke bhaayi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi

dekho jo koyi ladki pyaari
apni in aankho me tum uske sapne rakh lo
saagar ki lehro ki saadi usko pehnaao
ambar ke taaro ke bunde usko banvaao
usko bhi pyaar se khud se kehte raho
pyaara ye khaab hai do din to dekh lo
khaabo me hi do din raho, columbus
columbus columbus chhutti hai aayi
aao koyi naya mulk dhundhe chal ke bhaayi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi
chhutti chhutti chhutti koyi lahar dil me utthi, columbus

Columbus, Columbus, the holiday has come,
Let's find a new land, brother, let's become
Columbus, Columbus, the holiday has come,
Let's find a new land, brother, let's become
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart,
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart.

Columbus, Columbus, the holiday has come,
Let's find a new land, brother, let's become
Columbus, Columbus, the holiday has come,
Let's find a new land, brother, let's become
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart,
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart.
A place the heart whispers, let's go,
Where no worldly evil will ever grow.
Military preparations, war, and fight,
Hunger, disease, and vile political blight,
Far from these, somewhere, a life that sings, Columbus.

We earn two days of rest after five days of toil,
Let's dance with joy, like winds that recoil.
Let's kiss the buds, play with the waves, and return to childhood,
Learn to fly with wings, and tour the sky's vast wood.
Become birds of passage, city to city we'll roam,
Then to the river, where the waves make a home,
Swing on such swings, until sleep we embrace, Columbus.

Columbus, Columbus, the holiday has come,
Let's find a new land, brother, let's become
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart,
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart.

Look, a lovely girl we see,
In your eyes, her dreams, let them be.
Clothe her in the saree of the ocean's grace,
Adorn her with earrings of stars, in time and space.
Tell her with love, and let it be known,
This is a beautiful dream, for two days it has grown.
In dreams alone, for two days, we will stay, Columbus.
Columbus, Columbus, the holiday has come,
Let's find a new land, brother, let's become
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart,
Holiday, holiday, a wave rises in the heart, Columbus.
