this is the story of a team,
and they are playing for their one and only dream
to win the world cup,
so you better back up
coz they’re coming on now
and they are coming on, how!
get out of their way,
coz they’re screaming Chak de!
chal zara zara sa, zara zara sa, zara zara sa, hat ke…
chal dara dara sa, dara dara sa, dara dara sa, bach ke…
chal zara zara sa, zara zara sa, zara zara sa, hat ke…
chal dara dara sa, dara dara -
ek hockey dungi main rakhke…
Chak de! Chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke..
Chak de! Chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke…
Chak de! Chak de! – ek hockey dungi main rakhke..
Chak two! she’s new…
kehte hain mem, badi teekhi iski game
she’s cool, par dil ki hai fool
badi badi teamo ka bhulaye haal chaal
hai ye English maal aaja – Preeti Sabharwal
What? You have a problem with me?
Chak three! she stings like a bee…
gaon ki ye chhorri khele hockey chori chori
baap-bhai koi roke to, kare seenazori
dribble mein iss-se tez nahi koi saali ho ya saala
aa gayi bhaiya, chhaa gayi bhaiya – Komal Chautala
khelne wala khel rahega
rokne wala phail rahega
jo jaada marode moochh..
chaat le, jake bhains ki poochh…
Chak de! Chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke..
Chak de! Chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke…
Chak de! Chak de! – ek hockey dungi main rakhke..
Chak four! on the floor!
ghisi hui hai, piya hua hai
ghaat ghaat ka paani
sabse senior player hai na, karti hai manmaani
himmat aur himakat hai, team ki hai khalnayak
apne dil mein game badal de, aaja – Bindiya Nayak
arre dekhe humne bade bade hain
coach ye angrez se..
line pe inko laana hai,
saam, daam, dand bhed se…
Chak five! gimme a dive!
captain hai, aur goalee bhi
par ghar ka goal khali hai
ek taraf hai baal aur stick
duji taraf khush-haali hai .
shaadi mushkil game hai
par player haar kab maane hain?
Vidya Sharma – India captain
iske bhi kuch maane hain…
chal zara zara sa, zara zara sa, zara zara sa, hat ke…
chal dara dara sa, dara dara sa, dara dara sa, bach ke…
chal zara zara sa, zara zara sa, zara zara sa, hat ke…
chal dara dara sa, dara dara -
ek hockey dungi main rakhke…
Chak six! needs a fix!
kumbhkaran hai team ki
khaer hai jab tak soyi hai
aaye jab ye josh mein, tikne na paaye koi bhi
o aayi re, o chhaayi re
she’s Kaur, Balbir Kaur
koi rok sake na tokk, jo jaada bole thokk
hai dil mein jo bhi baat
dono hothhon ke saath…
tu bakk de, oye chak de!…
Chak seven! chak eight!
someone’s gotta get them straight
hain senior players dono jaani maani
ek hai shararat, duji manmaani
yaad karayein naani ko bhi naani
Aaliyah Bose and Gunjan Lakhani
badnaami mein bhi naam hai
, kaun inhe samjhaaye…
coach ka to bass kaam hai…
huh! mazze, ke dushman aaye!
Chak de! Chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke..
Chak de! Chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke…
Chak de! Chak de! – ek hockey dungi main rakhke..
Chak nine… ten… eleven… from the player’s heaven
they’re three, they’re free, as good as seven!
Rani yunhi naam nahi
ye back field ki rani hai
Suimui bus naam hai mera
lekin badi sayaani hai
Nethra Reddy, Andhra se…
nahi kisi se haari hai
dushman ki dushman hain teeno
hockey se hi yaari hai!
Chak twelve! and thirteen fourteen…
they’re always seen, they’re always keen
they teach a team, to be a team
Gul hain, ye Iqbal bhi hain
khoon mein hockey behti hai
khaandaan ka naam ya khud ka?
yehi musibat rehti hai
North-East ki taazgi, inki aan, baan aur shaan hai
dono chup chup rehti hain, par yehi team ki jaan hain!
Molly Zimick, Mary Ralte
Chak de!!
Chal zara zara sa, zara zara sa, zara zara sa, hat ke…
Chal dara dara sa, dara dara sa, dara dara sa, bach ke…
Chal zara zara sa, zara zara sa, zara zara sa, hat ke…
Chal dara dara sa, dara dara -
ek hockey dungi main rakhke…
Chak de! chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke..
Chak de! chak de! ek hockey dungi rakhke…
Chak de! chak de! – ek hockey dungi main rakhke..
and now, to chak one!
coz he’s never never ever done
he plays a hard game, in the sun ‘n the rain
in laughter ‘n pain, he’s always the same
Chak de! for the one and only Chak one!
Kabir Khan
