dhimi dhimi si awaaz me bole jwalamukhi me aag ke gole
dhimi dhimi si awaaz me bole jwalamukhi me aag ke gole
banke lawa phutenge ek din garbh me jitne hain shole
kursi khincho haule haule suno parja ke pairo ki
thak-thak thak-thak thak-thak thak-thak
kab talak koi chuppi saadhe sur sune sarkaari
bak-bak bak-bak bak-bak bak-bak

arre raja ji to biji hai rani ji ke sath
o rani ji ke sath, arre rani ji ke sath
phir parja ke dukh sukh ki bhaiya kaun karega baat
o kaun karega baat, arre kaun karega baat
gaddi ko gadda samajh liye hai sote hain din raat
bhukhi pyasi janta bichari baithi pet bajaat
ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud
ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud ghud, pet se aayi awaaz
kaye ka apna raja bhaiya kaye ka uska raj
arre kaye ka uska raj, arre kaye ka uska raj
pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa pa palitisan
palitisan ko kabhi na aaye kisi se laaj
kai bhau, kai bhau hami ko karna apne hit ka kaaj
apne hit ka kaaj, arre apne hit ka kaaj
dhimi dhimi si awaaz me bole jwalamukhi me aag ke gole
banke lawa phutenge ek din garbh me jitne hain shole

shara ra ra, shara ra ra
shara ra ra bol rahe hain mahal ke darwaje are mahal ke darwaje
kanp rahi hain diware jo aisa danka baje hey aisa danka baje
tere ghode haathi raja aur yeh tere pyaande
himmat hai jisme wo rok ke dikhla de, raja rok ke dikhla de
tim timak tim tim timak tim tim timak tim tare
khidaki pe hai chand akela apni sadak pe hai sare
aankho me laye hai jalte angare
kon gali hai, kon gali hai
kon gali hai, kon sa rasta kaha jayega pyare
are kaha jayega pyare, are kaha jayega pyare
dhimi dhimi si awaaz me bole jwalamukhi me aag ke gole
banke lawa phutenge ek din garbh me jitne hain shole

From the volcano's slow, hushed throat, whispers ignite,
From the volcano's slow, hushed throat, whispers ignite,
Fireballs of fury, in the depths of night.
One day as lava, we'll erupt, a fiery birth,
All the embers, blazing forth from earth.
Pull your chairs back, softly, listen to the throng,
Their footsteps drum, the rhythm of the wrong:
*Thump-thump-thump-thump*
How long can silence bear the endless, hollow sound,
Of the government's chatter, spinning round and round?
*Blah-blah-blah-blah*

The King is busy with the Queen's embrace,
Oh, with the Queen's embrace, oh, with the Queen's embrace.
Who then will heed the people's pain and grace?
Oh, who will heed the grace, oh, who will heed the grace?
They treat the throne as a soft, comforting bed,
Sleeping through the daylight, while the people are misled.
Hungry, thirsty, the masses sit and moan,
Their stomachs rumble with a desperate groan:
*Growl-growl-growl-growl-growl*
From the belly's core, the answer starts to rise:
What is this kingdom, and what are these lies?
Oh, what are these lies, oh, what are these lies?
*Politicians…*
They feel no shame, these peddlers of disguise.
What brother, what friend, we must tend our own desires,
Tend our own desires, oh tend our own desires.
From the volcano's slow, hushed throat, whispers ignite,
Fireballs of fury, in the depths of night.
One day as lava, we'll erupt, a fiery birth,
All the embers, blazing forth from earth.

*Sha-ra-ra-ra, sha-ra-ra-ra*
The palace doors are speaking, echoing the fears,
Oh, echoing the fears
The walls are trembling, as the battle horn appears,
As the battle horn appears.
Your horses, elephants, your pawns and your elite,
Let those with courage, dare to retreat,
King, dare to retreat.
Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, twinkle stars,
The moon alone upon the window bars,
And on their own roads, each one of them fares.
In their eyes, the burning embers gleam,
Which street is this, which street,
Which path will lead us to our dream?
Oh, to our dream, oh, to our dream.
From the volcano's slow, hushed throat, whispers ignite,
Fireballs of fury, in the depths of night.
One day as lava, we'll erupt, a fiery birth,
All the embers, blazing forth from earth.
