ooo.. saya.. yero mayoo..
aaa rooo aa yoooo..

aaa roha mazoo mayoo
hey aaa yooo….

ooo.. saya.. yero mayoo..
aaa rooo aa yoooo..

dhum tak dhin dhum tak dhin tak
dhum tak dhin dhum tak dhin tak
dhum tak dhin dhum tak dhin tak

they cant touch me
we break off run so faster
they cant even touch me
been that you see
touch me.. i ll show you choose
run zig zag quickly
pick up the pack of my journey
dont suddenly start to follow me
i m a luck… some days the suck
we live by the buck
we get for the family

one day i wanna be a star
so i get to hang in a bar
i’ll go to vegas and play off
just to forget my scars

ek do teen char panch che saath aat nao das gyara bara teraa…

sweat shops have made me shifty
like a ninja with speed i am nifty
i hope i live till i am fifty
see my city go a quick to a thrifty

ooo… saya… yero mayoo..
aaa rooo aa yoooo..

aaa roha mazoo mayoo
hey aaa yooo..

ooo… saya… yero mayoo..
aaa rooo aa yoooo..

ek do teen char panch che saath aat nao das gyara bara teraa…

ooo… saya… yero mayoo..
aaa rooo aa yoooo..

Thank you Nikhil for the lyrics - most accurate (as far as my non-Hindi ears can tell) I’ve been able to find!

I’m wondering if someone can provide a decent English translation of the lyrics? I’m sure with the differences in language that any translation will be horribly loose at best. But I’d love to know even the gist of what the lyrics are saying.

Such astoundingly beautiful music - Indian hip-hop/dance puts American hip-hop/dance to shame imho!
